John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?

sdas [7]

Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min

Scientists can use spectral analysis of stars to determine which of the following?

RoseWind [281]

I do believe all of these but core elements can be determined by spectroscopy which includes the use of electromagnetic radiation. Both the surface and core temperature can be measured using light. Surface elements can be found because the absorption lines of different elements in the spectra of the star, but I haven't heard anything about using spectral analysis for core elements.

A constant force of 45 N directed at angle θ to the horizontal pulls a crate of weight 100 N from one end of a room to another a

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$W=173.48J$

Explanation:

information we know:

Total force: $F=45N$

Weight: $w=100N$

distance: $4m$

vertical component of the force: $F_{y}=12N$

-------------

In this case we need the formulas to calculate the components of the force (because to calculate the work we need the horizontal component of the force).

horizontal component: $F_{x}=Fcos\theta$
