Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (60 km) / (3.5 hr)

Speed = (60 / 3.5) (km/hr)

<em>Speed = 17.14 km/hr</em>

You would divide 60/3.5 which equals about 17km per hour. (i rounded)

Does the lattice energy of an ionic solid increase or decrease as the charges or sizes of the ions increase?

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid compound into its components gaseous cations and anions.

Due to increase in size of the ions, the lattice energy decreases while the lattice energy increases as the charge of the ions increases.

When the size increase, the distance between the nuclei also increase leading a decrease the force of attraction between the nuclei

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?

DiKsa [7]

<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

Toy car in a science experiment covers 1.6 meters in half a second. If a the car travels at a steady speed, how far will it go i

Tanzania [10]

The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
$v= \frac{d}{t}$ ⇒ $d=v*t$

It is given:
$v = \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s} = 3.2 m/s$
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
$d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m$

Some neodymium glass lasers can provide 100TW of power in 1.0 ns pulses at a wavelength of 0.26 micrometers. how much energy is

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

E = 10⁵ J

Explanation:

given,

Power, P = 100 TW

= 100 x 10¹² W

time, t = 1 ns

= 1 x 10⁻⁹ s

The energy of a single pulse is:-

Energy = Power x time

E = P t

E = 100 x 10¹² x 1 x 10⁻⁹

E = 10⁵ J

The energy contained in a single pulse is equal to 10⁵ J

An unmarked police car traveling a constant 95 km/h is passed by a speeder. Precisely 1.00 s after the speeder passes, the polic

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Speed of the speeder will be 28 m/sec

Explanation:

In first case police car is traveling with a speed of 90 km/hr

We can change 90 km/hr in m/sec

So $90km/hr=\frac{90\times 1000m}{3600sec}=25m/sec$

Car is traveling for 1 sec with a constant speed so distance traveled in 1 sec = 25×1 = 25 m

After that car is accelerating with $a=2m/sec^2$ for 7 sec

So distance traveled by car in these 7 sec

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=25\times 7+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7^2=224m$

So total distance traveled by police car = 224 m

This distance is also same for speeder

Now let speeder is moving with constant velocity v

so $224=\left ( 1+7 \right )v$

v = 28 m/sec
