You hike two thirds of the way to the top of a hill at a speed of 2.9 mi/h and run the final third at a speed of 5.6 mi/h. What

was your average speed?

Answer:

The average speed is 3.5 mi/h

Explanation:

Average speed is given by

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{Total time}

If the total distance covered is x mi,

Then \frac{2}{3}x mi was covered while hiking and

\frac{1}{3}x mi was covered while running.

Now, we will find the time taken while hiking and the time taken while running

Speed = \frac{Distance}{ Time}\\  Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

  • For the time taken while hiking

Speed = 2.9 mi/h

Distance = \frac{2}{3}x mi

From,

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

Time = \frac{\frac{2}{3}x }{2.9}

Time = 0.2299x h

Time taken while hiking is 0.2299 h

  • For the time taken while running

Speed = 5.6 mi/h

Distance = \frac{1}{3}x mi

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

Time = \frac{\frac{1}{3}x }{5.6}

Time = 0.05952x h

Now, for the average speed

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{Total time}

Total distance = \frac{2}{3}x mi  + \frac{1}{3}x mi = x mi

Total time = 0.2299x + 0.05952x = 0.28942x h

∴ Average speed = \frac{x}{0.28942x}

Average speed = 3.4552 mi/h

Average speed ≅ 3.5 mi/h

Which component measures the potential difference across a branch in a circuit? A.switch. B.resistor. C.ammeter. D.voltmeter.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

Voltmeter is a device which measures the the voltage applied across the circuit. It is an electrical instrument used to measure the electric potential between the two points in an electric circuit.

Where as:

A switch is the device which used to connect or disconnect the circuit.

Resistor is a device which opposes the flow of current is an electric circuit.

An ammeter the is an electrical device which measures the amount of current in flowing in amperes in an electrical circuit

Hence,the correct answer is option (D).

two horses are pulling a 325 kg wagon, initially at rest. The horses exert 250 N and 178 N forward forces, respectively. Ignorin
Dovator [93]

Answer:

AFter 3.5 s, the wagon is moving at:   4.62\,\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Let's start by finding first the net force on the wagon, and from there the wagon's acceleration (using Newton's 2nd Law):

Net force = 250 N + 178 N = 428 N

Therefore, the acceleration from Newton's 2nd Law is:

F=m\,*\,a\\a = \frac{F}{m} \\a= \frac{428}{325}\, \frac{m}{s^2} \\a\approx 1.32 \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

So now we apply this acceleration to the kinematic expression for velocity in an object moving under constant acceleration:

v_f=v_i+a\,*\,t\\v_f=0+1.32\,*\,3.5\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\v_f=4.62\,\,\frac{m}{s}

If one bulb broke in series circuit the other will light up ?
Charra [1.4K]
It makes no difference whether there are two bulbs or 1000 bulbs. If they are all in series then when one bulb burns out, or one little piece of wire between two bulbs comes loose, ALL of them go dark. In that situation it's a challenge to find where the break in the circuit is because all of the bulbs are dark.

Which substance is a combination of different atoms? homogeneous mixture,heterogeneous mixture,element,compound
Aleks04 [339]
Hi

only compound must two different atom.

Element have made by only single atom.
_________________________________
Compound:
A compound is formed when two or more elements chemically combine together. The elements react chemically and form chemical bonds between the atoms of the elements.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances which are not chemically the same. ____________________________________
Homogeneous mixtures:
Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition and appearance throughout .A homogeneous mixture is also called a true solution.
Example: sugar solution, ocean water, soft drinks, etc.
____________________________________
Heterogeneous mixtures:
Heterogeneous mixtures consist of different substances.
Examples: mixture of iron and sulphur, mixture of sand and table salt, etc.


so only elements are single atom.

all these are combination of atoms.

thanks for asking
