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

Paul [167]

Answer:

I think it's D. The expansion of water as it freezes increases the amount of nutrients that can dissolve in liquid water, but it could cause fluid in cells to dissolve more harmful substances.

Explanation:

I know when water freezes, it expands and between the two answers that discuss the expansion of water, D sounds the most logical to me lol.

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what
Sphinxa [80]
Let's be clear:  The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.

A 3-kg wheel with a radius of 35 cm is spinning in the horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center at 800 rev/s. A
Kruka [31]

Answer:

\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of wheel(M) = 3 Kg

radius(r) = 35 cm

revolution (ω_i)=  800 rev/s

mass (m)= 1.1 Kg

I_{wheel} = Mr²

when mass attached at the edge

I' = Mr² + mr²

using conservation of angular momentum

I \omega_i = I' \omega_f

(Mr^2) \times 800 = ( M r^2 + m r^2) \omega_f

M\times 800 = ( M + m )\omega_f

3\times 800 = (3+1.1)\times \omega_f

2400 = (4.1)\times \omega_f

\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s
