In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.22 m/s, due west. This average velocity results be

cause she hikes for 6.44 km with an average velocity of 2.53 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.445 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
Can someone please help me please? I really really need help on this please!!!!

Wow! 2.95m/s is a mighty fast pace for a backpacker. Must have one of those Star Wars anti-gravity packs. Also, I would be curious as to why she passed her destination and then walked back. 
<span>Anyway, it goes like this: </span>
<span>Say the time walking east is 't', and the total time is 'T'. </span>
<span>Then 5340 m + .511 t = 1.43 T </span>
<span>(This assumes that velocity is positive in both directions) </span>
<span>Two unknowns in one equation. But you also know that the time spent walking west is </span>
<span>5340m/ 2.95m/s = 1810 sec. </span>
<span>and the total time T = 1810 +t </span>
<span>Substitute this into the first equation, and you can solve for t = 3092 sec. </span>
<span>Then T = 4902 sec. and distance walked east is .511t = 1580m.</span>

Two balloons are charged with an identical quantity and type of charge: -6.25 x 10-6 C. They are held apart at a separation dist
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The electric force between them is 878.9 N

Explanation:

Given:

Identical charge q = -6.25 \times 10^{-6}C

Separation between two charges r = 0.02 m

For finding the electrical force,

According to the coulomb's law

   F = \frac{k q^{2} }{r^{2} }

Here, force between two balloons are repulsive because both charges are same.

Where k = 9 \times 10^{9}

   F = \frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times (-6.25 \times 10^{-6} )^{2}  }{4 \times 10^{-4} }

   F = 878.9 N

Therefore, the electric force between them is 878.9 N

Why are animal cells square and animal cells round
irina [24]
Plant cells are not necessarily square, but they due tend to have distinct edges and be kind of rectangular. This structure is caused by the cell wall which is very rigid and therefore forces the cell to have a more defined shape. However, animal cells do not have a cell wall but only the plasma membrane. Which is is why it's round.

Listening to the radio, you can hear two stations at once. Describe this wave interaction
Sedaia [141]
Actually says Pantazis, since their frequencies are so wildly different, brain waves don’t interfere with radio waves. Even if that was the case, brain waves are so weak, they are hardly measurable at all. For comparison, says Pantazis, “the magnetic field of the earth is just strong enough to move the needle of a compass. Signals from the brain are a billionth of that strength.”
