Distance is speed x time.  Half of the trip is 5.8/2 = 2.9hrs.
640 x 2.9 = 1856mi
580 x 2.9 = 1682mi
1856mi+1682mi=3538mi.

You could also calculate her average speed.  This is easy since it was divided in two equal time slices.  Average Speed = (640+580)/2 = 610mi/hr
Now 610mi/hr x 5.8hrs = 3538mi

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

You're driving in a car at 50 km/h and bump into a car ahead traveling at 48 km/h in the same direction. the speed of impact is
salantis [7]

To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final momentum, that is:

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

where v’ is the speed of impact

Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2, so let us assume that they are equal, such that:

m1 = m2 = m

Which makes the equation:

m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’

Cancelling m and substituting the v values:

50 + 48 = 2 v’

2 v’ = 98

v ‘ = 49 km/h

 

<span>The speed of impact is 49 km/h.</span>

The chemical symbol for the element calcium is Ca. What would be the symbol representing calcium atoms that have lost two electr
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

ca^{2 + }

Explanation:

In all atoms, the number of protons = number of electrons, as a result the atom is neutral. Losing or gaining electrons will make the atom electrically charged and we call an electrically charged atom an ion.

Ca 2+ would be the symbol because losing two negative electrons makes calcium's nucleus more positive by two protons.
