The average speed of a moving object is the rate of change of a certain distance with respect with time. It is equal to the total distance that was traveled by the object over the total time it takes to travel that distance. For this problem we need to assume that the total distance that was traveled would be equal to 120 miles. So, for the first half of the distance or 60 miles at a speed of 30 miles per hour, the time taken would be two hours. For the remaining 60 miles at a speed of 60 miles per hour, 1 hour is total time traveled. So, we calculate the average speed as follows:

Average speed = total distance / total time
Average speed = 120 miles / 2 hr + 1 hr
Average speed = 40 mi / hr

Select the correct answer. G = 6.67 × 10-11 N·m2/kg2 Me = 5.598 × 1024 kg What is the velocity of an Earth satellite that is in
zzz [600]
Centripetal force of satellite = gravitational force between earth and the satellite
(m•v^2)/r = (G•Me•m)/r^2
v^2 = (G•Me)/r
v^2 = 6.67x10^-11 x 5.598x10^24 / 7.5x10^7
v = 2231 m/s

so answer is B

Given that a lever has a mechanical advantage of 6.0 and is 100% efficient, if the resistance is to be lifted 2.0 inches, then h
Shalnov [3]
The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the force produced by the machine to the force applied to it. Therefore, we may calculate the applied force using:
Mechanical advantage = force by machine / force applied
6 = 2 / force applied
Force applied = 1/3

Thus, the distance that the effort must move will be 1/3 inch
