Answer:

Option D is the right option.

solution,

Distance travelled=340 metre

Time taken= 1.5 minutes ( 1 minute=60 seconds)

=1.5* 60

=90 seconds

Now,

Average speed:

$\ \frac{distance \: travelled \: }{time \: taken} \\ = \frac{340 \: m}{90 \: s} \\ = 3.78 \: metre \: per \: second$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Answer:

3.78 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for average speed is given by

Speed = Distance ÷ Time taken

Where,

Speed = we are asked to find this

Distance = given as 340m

Time taken = 1.5 min = 1.5 x 60 = 90 seconds

Substituting the values into the equation:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time taken

= 340 meters ÷ 90 seconds

= 3.777777 m/s

= 3.78 m/s (round to nearest hundredth)

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}$

$v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})$

$v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)$

$v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}$

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

What cloud extending to the gravitational limits of the solar system would comets come from?.

ser-zykov [4K]

The Oort cloud extends to the gravitational limits of the solar system would comets come from.

<h3>What is oort cloud?</h3>

It is a hypothetical idea of a cloud of mostly frozen planetesimals that would orbit the Sun at distances between 2,000 and 200,000 AU.

The Oort cloud reaches the solar system's outer gravitational boundaries, where comets originate.

Hence cloud extending to the gravitational limits of the solar system will be oorto cloud.
