We know that the average speed is simply the ratio of the
total distance travelled over the total duration of the trip.
total distance = 500 mi + 380 mi + 600 mi
total distance = 1,480 mi
total time = 10 h + 8 h + 15 h
total time = 33 h
So the average speed is therefore:
average speed = 1,480 mi / 33 h
<span>average speed = 44.85 mi / h</span>
Answer:
B. 25 m/s/s
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of curvature.
a = v² / r
Given v = 10 m/s and r = 4 m:
a = (10 m/s)² / 4 m
a = 25 m/s²
Answer:
. The loop is pushed to the right, away from the magnetic field
Explanation
This decrease in magnetic strength causes an opposing force that pushes the loop away from the field
Answer:
A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy
Explanation:
If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.
However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.
