What is the average speed of a car that travels 40 mph for 1 hour and 60 mph in another hour?

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 water gun fires 5 squirts per second. The speed of the squirts is 15 m/s.
stira [4]

Answer: 3.75 m

Explanation:

5 squirts in 1 second

So, 1 squirt in 1/5 second which is 0.2 second.

The difference in timing of two consecutive squirt is 0.2 second, so

time (t) = 0.2 s.

speed (s) = 15 m/s

Distance of separation (d) = ?

Now, formula for distance is

d = s × t

d = 15 × 0.2

d = 3.75 m

a toy propeller fan with a moment of inertia of .034 kg x m^2 has a net torque of .11Nxm applied to it. what angular acceleratio
Harman [31]

Answer:

The  angular acceleration is  \alpha  = 3.235 \ rad/s ^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The moment of inertia is  I  =  0.034\ kg \cdot m^2

     The  net torque is  \tau  =  0.11\ N \cdot m

Generally the net torque is mathematically represented as

           \tau =  I  *  \alpha

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration so  

        \alpha  =  \frac{\tau }{I}

substituting values

         \alpha  =  \frac{0.1 1}{ 0.034}

        \alpha  = 3.235 \ rad/s ^2

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

α = - 1.883 rev/min²

Explanation:

Given

ωin = 113 rev/min

ωfin = 0 rev/min

t = 1.0 h = 60 min

α = ?

we can use the following equation

ωfin = ωin + α*t      ⇒     α = (ωfin - ωin) / t

⇒     α = (0 rev/min - 113 rev/min) / (60 min)

⇒     α = - 1.883 rev/min²
