Formula for the distance (d) is given by d = rate*time. For example if you are traveling at 60 mph for 3 hours the distance trav

eled is 180 (=60*3). Assuming Mary is traveling at 50 mph and Jim is traveling at 60 mph, how long does Jim have to travel in order that the distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles? NOTE: After one hour Jim is 10 miles aheadAssume Mary and Jim leave at the same time, are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks11 hours9 hours10 hours8 hours

Explanation:

Distance covered by the particle is given by:

Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)                

Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph

Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph

It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.

Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)

Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t

The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.

60t+10-50t\ge100

10t\ge90

t\ge9\ h

So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.

Please help me with this question guys.

Answer:

<em>The average speed is 22.2 km/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Average Speed</u>

Given an object travels a total distance d and took a total time t, then the average speed is:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{d}{t}

The mailman first drives d1=7 km at v1=15 km/h. The time taken to drive is:

\displaystyle t1=\frac{d1}{v1}=\frac{7}{15}=0.467\ h

Then he drives d2=7 km at v2=43 km/h taking a time of:

\displaystyle t2=\frac{d2}{v2}=\frac{7}{43}=0.163\ h

The total time is

t=0.467 h + 0.163 h = 0.63 h

The total distance is

d = 7 km + 7 km = 14 km

The average speed is:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{14}{0.63}=22.2\ km/h

The average speed is 22.2 km/h

Harrizon [31]

Explanation :

An atom is a smallest particle of matter. An atom consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. These are three subatomic particles.

Protons are positively charged species while neutrons are negatively charged species. Electrons revolves around an atom.

Charge :

The charge of an electron is negative or -1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C

The charge of proton is +e or   1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C

Neutron has no charge.

Mass :

Atomic mass of electron is 9.1\times10^{-31}\ Kg

Atomic mass of proton is 1.67\times10^{-27}\ Kg

Atomic mass of neutron is 1.67\times10^{-27}\ Kg

Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus at the center.

Charge, atomic mass and location determines the properties of an atom. Atomic mass tells about the number of protons and neutrons inside an atom.  Electric charge tells us the number of electrons gain or lost.
