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

Physics
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
6 0

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>

Which is a diatomic molecule? <br> A. Ar <br> B. CO <br> C. CO2 <br> D. NaCl
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: B. CO

Explanation:

Diatomic molecules are those that are formed by two atoms of the same chemical element (homonuclear diatomic molecule) or different chemical element (heteronuclear diatomic molecule).  

In this sense, oxygen is a homonuclear diatomic molecule because it is formed by two atoms of the same element (O_{2}) and Carbon monoxide (CO) is heteronuclear diatomic molecule.

Sodium Chloride NaCl is not a diatomic molecule because is a product of ionization, but it can be diatomic in its gas phase with a polar covalent bond.

Why does sound propagate faster in solid bodies than in liquids and faster in liquids than in air?
storchak [24]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

this is because particles in solids are packed very closely together, thus , the particles collide with each other frequently and thus transfer of energy is faster. however, particles in liquid are closely packed but not as close as in solid so the particles do not collide as frequently. thus, transfer of energy slower than in solid. furthermore, the particles in gas are spaced far apart from each other, thus the particles don't collide with each other frequently, thus transfer of energy is very slow in gas.

Estimate the inductance L of a coil that is 12 cm long, made of about 235 copper-wire turns and a diameter of about 1.7 cm. Show
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Inductance as calculated is 13.12 mH

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the coil, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Diameter, d = 1.7 cm = 0.017 m

No. of turns, N = 235

Now,

Area of cross-section of the wire, A = \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4} = \frac{\pi \times 0.017^{2}}{4} = 2.269\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

We know that the inductance of the coil is given by the formula:

L = \frac{mu_{o}AN^{2}}{l} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{- 7}\times 2.269\times 10^{- 4}\times 235^{2}}{0.12} = 1.312\times 10^{- 4}\ H = 13.12\ mH

Using software, a simulation of a javelin being thrown both on Earth and on the moon is created. In both cases, the velocity and
mario62 [17]

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth

El dormitorio de Pablo es rectangular, y sus lados miden 3 y 4 metros. Ha decidido dividirlo en dos partes triangulares con una
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

 c = 5 m

Explanation:

this exercise you want to divide the rectangular room into two triangular rooms

                 

the area of ​​triangles is

           A = ½ base height

           A = ½ 4 3

          A = 6 m²

the length of the curtain can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

           c² = b² + a²

           c = √ (4² + 3²)

           c = 5 m

this is the length of the curtain
