It took Eric 11 hours to drive to a football game. On the way home, he was able to increase his average speed by 12mph and make

the return drive in only 9 hours. Find his average speed on the return drive.

Answer:

54mph

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the change in distance of a body with respect to time.

Let x be the speed of Eric on his way to the football game, if he used 11hours to the football game, his distance will be the product of his speed and time taken i.e

Distance = speed × time

Distance= x × 11

Distance = 11x... (1)

During his return journey, his speed increases by 12mph with a return drive in only 9hours i.e speed = x+12 and time is 9hours

Since distance = speed × time (return Journey)

Distance = (x+12)×9

Distance = 9x+84...(2)

Note that the distance to and fro the journey is the same as such we will equate equations 1 and 2 to get his initial speed "x" to have;

11x = 9x+84

11x-9x = 84

2x = 84

x = 42mph

This means that his initial speed on his way to the football game is 42mph. Since his speed increases by 12mph during his return drive, his return speed will be 42mph + 12mph which gives 54mph.

Three +3.0-μC point charges are at the three corners of a square of side 0.50 m. The last corner is occupied by a −3.0-μC charge
kramer

Answer:

E = 440816.32 N/C

Explanation:

Given data:

Three point charge of charge equal to +3.0 micro coulomb

fourth point charge = - 3.0 micro coulomb

side of square = 0.50 m

K =1/4 \pi \epsilon_0 = 8.99 \times 10^9 N.m^2/c^2

Due to having equal charge on center of square, 2 charge produce equal electric field at center and other two also produce electric field at center of same value

So we have

E_1 + E_3 = 0

E =E_2 + E_4

E = 2 E_2

[E_2 =\frac{2\times k \times q}{r^2}

[r= \frac{(0.5^2 + 0.5^2)^2}{2} = 0.35 m]

plugging all value

E = 2 E_2

E = 2 E_2 =\frac{2\times k \times q}{r^2}

E = \frac{2 \times 8.99 \times 10^93\times 10^{-6}}{0.35^2}

E = 440816.32 N/C

Hello <br>Can anyone help me. ​
labwork [276]

(G)-->Iron and steel industry is called a heavy industry because all the raw material as well as finished goods are heavy and bulky entailing heavy transportation costs. Iron ore, coking coal and limestone are required in the ratio of 4:2:1 approximately. Some quantity of manganese is also required to harden the steel.

(H)-->Sodium is very reactive in nature. When exposed in air, it automatically forms Na2O. When it is put in water it reacts vigorously and starts burning on water. Due to the above reasons Sodium is called an active metal.

(I)-->Down the group, the effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electrons is decreasing because the outermost electrons are far away from the nucleus. Thus, these electrons can be lost easily by the element to form positive ions. Hence, the chemical reactivity of metals increases on going down a group.

(J)-->While moving from top to bottom in a group of the periodic table, the reactivity of non- metals decreases. While moving from top to bottom in a group of non- metals, the atomic size increases with the additional number of shells and the force of attraction between the nucleus and valence shell decreases.

When the bug is stationary and creating waves, how does the frequency of the wave some distance away from the bug compare with t
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The frequency is the same

Explanation:

When a wave is created by a source which is vibrating at a certain frequency, the frequency of the wave itself is equal to the frequency of the source.

This occurs with every kind of wave. For instance, if we consider the radio waves produced by an antenna, the frequency of the radio waves is equal to the frequency of the antenna.

In this case, the waves are created by the vibrating bug. The bug is vibrating with a certain frequency f: as a consequence, the frequency f' of the waves produced by the bug will be equal to the frequency of vibration of the bug:

f'=f.
