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

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance between the objects doubles?
Ymorist [56]

if the distance between the objects is doubled the force is reduced by a factor of 4

<h3>Whats is gravitational force?</h3>

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between objects in the universe.

f = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

f = gravitational force

G = gravitational constant

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r = distance between the objects

From the formular, the gravitational force and the distance is an inverse relationship so increasing the distance by a factor results to reduction of the force by the square of the factor. hence doubling the distance which is distance mutiplied by 2 will lead to reduction of the force by 2^2 = 4

Therefore: The force decreases by a factor of 4.

The flaming gorge bridge, in wyoming rises above a dry gulch. If you throw a rock straight out from the bridge, horizontally, an
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s

Why the change of the pressure and temperature affect the velocity of the sound ​
Marysya12 [62]

<h2>\large{\underbrace{\underline{\fcolorbox{White}{aqua}{\bf{ANSWER♥︎}}}}}</h2>

<u>Air pressure has no effect at all in an ideal gas approximation. This is because pressure and density both contribute to sound velocity equally, and in an ideal gas the two effects cancel out, leaving only the effect of temperature. Sound usually travels more slowly with greater altitude, due to reduced temperature.</u>

How was the formation of the outer planets affected by their distance from the sun?
djverab [1.8K]

The formation of the outer planets are affected by their distance from the sun with having them to maintain the lighter elements that they are composed of such as the hydrogen and helium, having them far away will also make their planet more cooler as the sun is distant from them.
