Answer:

2:3

Explanation:

Now, Peter and Tom both drove for the same amount of time, t

If Peter only drove 2/5 of the total distance,

Then Distance driven by Tom

= 1-2/5=3/5

Speed= Distance/Time

Let x be the total distance

Peter's Average Speed=2x/5t

Tom's Average Speed=3x/5t

Ratio of Peter's Average Speed to Tom's Average Speed then is:

2x/5t : 3x/5t

Since the denominators are the same, we have

2x:3x

and cancelling out the x on both sides

The ratio of their average speed is 2:3

A 60-kg runner raises his center of mass approximately 0.5 m with each step. Although his leg muscles act as a spring, recapturi
Darina [25.2K]

Answer: P = 36.75W

The additional power needed to account for the loss is 36.75W.

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of the runner m= 60 kg

Height of the centre of gravity h= 0.5m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 9.8m/s

The potential energy of the body for each step is;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.5

PE = 294J

Since the average loss per compression on the leg is 10%.

Energy loss = 10% (P.E)

E = 10% of 294J

E = 29.4J

To calculate the runner's additional power

given that time per stride is = 0.8s

Power P = Energy/time

P = E/t

P = 29.4J/0.8s

P = 36.75W

Arrange the following types of photons of electromagnetic radiation in order of decreasing energy: red light, radio, x-rays, γ-r
MrRa [10]

Answer:The correct order is

γ-rays > x-rays> red light > infrared > radio

Explanation:

In the electromagnetic spectrum we have the following electromagnetic radiation Radio waves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-ray and gamma rays. Gamma rays have the highest  frequency and radio waves the lowest. From the formula;

E=hf,      where;

E is energy

h is Planck constant

f is frequency

We can see that the energy of these radiation depends on the magnitude of their frequency. Hence Gamma ray with highest frequency will have the highest energy and radio waves the lowest energy. Red light however is found at the lower end of the visible light spectrum . the correct order is;

γ-rays > x-rays> red light > infrared > radio

Technician A says that galvanic activity is the result of a poor ground connection. Technician B says that electrolysis can occu
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Only B is correct.

Explanation:

Electrolysis and galvanic activity are two different ways of the passage of electricity. Electrolysis occurs at a spontaneous reaction, and galvanic activity needs an external force to happen.

For example, a cell works by a redox reaction, in which a material reduces (gain electrons), and the other oxides (loses electrons). As higher is the standard reduction potential of a material, as easy is to it to reduces. Thus, if a cell works with the reduction happens with the material with low standard reduction potential, then it works by galvanic activity.

When electronics are connected to the house system, it's necessary to do the ground connection, which will allow the electrons that are dissipated to go to the earth. So, it is done incorrectly, the electrons flow to the equipment, which they natural path. So, the electrolysis can occur with a poor ground connection.
