<u>Answer</u>

2.7778 m/s

<u>Explanation</u>

Speed is rate of change of distance with time.

It is the distance covered in a unit time. SI units of speed in m/s. Other units are Km/h, knots e.t.c

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time taken)

= 7.5 Km / 45 Min

= 1/6 Km/Min

Or,

7.5Km = (7.5 × 1000) m = 7500 m

45 min = 45 × 60 2700 seconds

Average speed = 7500/2700

= 2.7778 m/s

To calculate for the average speed, we simply divide the total distance covered by the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, we simply divide 7.5 km with 45 min. Therefore, the skier's average speed is 0.1667 km/min. Hope this helps.

A metal has a strength of 414 MPa at its elastic limit and the strain at that point is 0.002. Assume the test specimen is 12.8-m

ser-zykov [4K]

To solve this problem, we will start by defining each of the variables given and proceed to find the modulus of elasticity of the object. We will calculate the deformation per unit of elastic volume and finally we will calculate the net energy of the system. Let's start defining the variables

Yield Strength of the metal specimen

$S_{el} = 414Mpa$

Yield Strain of the Specimen

$\epsilon_{el} = 0.002$

Diameter of the test-specimen

$d_0 = 12.8mm$

Gage length of the Specimen

$L_0 = 50mm$

Modulus of elasticity

$E = \frac{S_{el}}{\epsilon_{el}}$

$E = \frac{414Mpa}{0.002}$

$E = 207Gpa$

Strain energy per unit volume at the elastic limit is

$U'_{el} = \frac{1}{2} S_{el} \cdot \epsilon_{el}$

$U'_{el} = \frac{1}{2} (414)(0.002)$

$U'_{el} = 414kN\cdot m/m^3$

Considering that the net strain energy of the sample is

$U_{el} = U_{el}' \cdot (\text{Volume of sample})$

$U_{el} = U_{el}'(\frac{\pi d_0^2}{4})(L_0)$

$U_{el} = (414)(\frac{\pi*0.0128^2}{4}) (50*10^{-3})$

$U_{el} = 2.663N\cdot m$

Therefore the net strain energy of the sample is $2.663N\codt m$

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

2 Electrons

Explanation:

Both the Hydrogen atom will share electron equally by covalent bonding. so there will be 2 electron in the bonding molecular orbital.
