A jogger runs 6 km north ,5 km east then another 4km north her average speed 8 km how long will it take her to complete her run
1 answer:
The time taken to complete her run is 1.9 hr.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Speed is a scalar quantity and it is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. As distance is also a scalar quantity, so the directions given in the problem can be ignored. Thus, the distance covered by the jogger is the sum of kilometers given in problem.
Distance covered = 6+5+4 = 15 km
And the speed is given as 8 km/hr.
So the time taken will be ratio of distance to speed.
So the jogger will take 1.9 hr to complete her run.

Answer : The final pressure in the two containers is, 2.62 atm
Explanation :
Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
Thus, the expression for final pressure in the two containers will be:
where,
= pressure of N₂ gas = 4.45 atm
= pressure of Ar gas = 2.75 atm
= volume of N₂ gas = 3.00 L
= volume of Ar gas = 2.00 L
P = final pressure of gas = ?
V = final volume of gas = (4.45 + 2.75) L = 7.2 L
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Thus, the final pressure in the two containers is, 2.62 atm
To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:
Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity. An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>. If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy. Example:
An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What is the object's gravitational potential energy? <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)
(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)
<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion. An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary). An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s. What is the object's kinetic energy? (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)
<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy. If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both. To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together. An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s. What is the objects mechanical (total) energy? (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)
