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 cable is 100-m long and has a cross-sectional area of 1.0 mm2. A 1000-N force is applied to stretch the cable. Young's modulus

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1 m

Explanation:

L = 100 m

A = 1 mm^2 = 1 x 10^-6 m^2

Y = 1 x 10^11 N/m^2

F = 1000 N

Let the cable stretch be ΔL.

By the formula of Young's modulus

$Y=\frac{F\times L}{A\times\Delta L}$

$\Delta L=\frac{F\times L}{A\times\Y}$

$\Delta L=\frac{1000\times 100}{10^{-6}\times10^{11}}$

ΔL = 1 m

Thus, the cable stretches by 1 m.

Which scientific law describes the relationship between action and reaction force pairs? Newton's third law of motion Kepler's l

Hitman42 [59]

Newton's third law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note that this law is always valid, even when it seems it is not.

Consider for example the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body (= your weight). We can say that this is the action force. It may seems that there is no reaction force in this case. However, this is not true: in fact, your body also exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth, and this is the reaction force. The reason that explains why we don't notice any effect on Earth due to this force is that the mass of the Earth is much larger than your mass, therefore the acceleration produced on the Earth because of the force you apply is negligible.

It is also important to note that the action-reaction pair of forces always act on two different objects, so they never appear in the same free-body diagram.

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec

bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW
