Answer:

distance between school and home is 21 miles

Explanation:

given data

in rush hour speed  s1 = 28 mph

less traffic speed s2 = 42 mph

time t = 1 hr 15 min = 1.25 hr

to find out

distance  d

solution

we consider here distance home to school is d and t1 time to reach at school

we get here distance equation when we go home to school that is

distance = 28 × t1    .......................1

and when we go school to home distance will be

distance = 42 × ( t - t1 )

distance = 42 × ( 1.25 - t1 )     ...................2

so from equation 1 and 2

28 × t1 = 42 × ( 1.25 - t1 )

t1 = 0.75

so

from equation 1

distance = 28 × t1

distance = 28 × 0.75

distance = 21 miles

Answer:

The offspring is homozygous for eye color.

Explanation:

Brown eyes is the shared allele of both parents (meaning homozygous) and an allele for hair type was not inherited from only one parents but from both however will recieve the dominant trait. (This is my best guess; I haven't studied this in awhile though)

What happens when a mechanical wave travels through a medium?
Blizzard [7]
A mechanical wave<span> is a </span>wave<span> that is an oscillation of </span>matter<span>, and therefore transfers energy through a </span>medium.[1]<span> While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the </span>medium of transmission<span>—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.</span>

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s
nevsk [136]

a) 0.94 m

The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:

W=\Delta K\\-F d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2

where:

F=1.1 \cdot 10^5 N is the force applied by the snow

d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him

m = 68 kg is the man's mass

v = 0 is the final speed of the man

u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)

and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)

Solving the equation for d, we find:

d=\frac{1}{2F}mu^2 = \frac{(68 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{2(1.1\cdot 10^5 N)}=0.94 m

b) -3740 kg m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:

I=\Delta p = m \Delta v

where

m = 68 kg is the mass of the man

\Delta v = 0-55 m/s = -55 m/s is the change in velocity of the man

Substituting,

I=(68 kg)(-55 m/s)=-3740 kg m/s

Suppose a spring has a relaxed length of 28.3 cm. The simulation refers to this as the natural length. This is the length of the
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal length of spring = 28.3 cm

stretched length of spring = 38.2 cm

length of extension = 38.2 - 28.3 = 9.9 cm

= 9.9 x 10⁻² m

force applied to stretch = .55 x 9.8 ( mg )

= 5.39 N

Force constant = force applied / extension

= 5.39 / 9.9 x 10⁻²

= .5444 x 10² N /m

= 54.44 N/m
