Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

-- Traveling at 40 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 40 miles.

-- Traveling at 60 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 60 miles.

-- Total distance covered = (40 miles) + (60 miles) = 100 miles

-- Total time = (1 hour) + (1 hour)  =  2 hours

-- Average speed = (100 miles) / (2 hours)

<em>Average speed = 50 miles per hour</em>

A 1-kg collar (located at point (2,2) from the origin) is pulled along a vertical, frictionless bar with a force of 10 N applied
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The acceleration of the collar is 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the collar, m = 1 kg

applied force on the bar, F = 10 N

The acceleration of the collar can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

F is the applied force

m is mass of the object

a is the acceleration

a = F / m

a = 10 / 1

a = 10 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the collar is 10 m/s²

a concrete slab 20 m long and weighing 400,000 N is supported by one pillar. A 19,600 N car is parked 8 meters from one end, whe
Elden [556K]

let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)

r - 10 = 0.098

r = 10.098 m

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab
