A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min

at 80.0 km/h, 45.0 min at 40 km/h and 12.0 min at 100 km/h, and spends 15.0 min eating lunch and buying gas. Determine the average sped for the trip. Determine the difference between the intial citties along the route.

Answer:

Average speed of the trip = 52.9 km/h

Distance between initial pairs of cities (start to end) = 70.0 km

Explanation:

Since distance = speed × time

If she drives 30.0 min at 80.0 km/h

Distance covered = (30/60) × 80 = 40.0 km

Again she drives 45.0 min at 40 km/h

Distance covered = (45/60) × 40 = 30.0 km

Again she drives 12.0 min at 100 km/h

Distance covered = (12/60) × 100 = 20.0 km

Total distance covered =  40.0 + 30.0 + 20.0

                                       = 90.0 km

Total time spent = 30.0 + 45.0 + 12.0 +15.0

                           = 102 min

Average speed for the trip = Total distance covered/total time spent

                                             = 90/(102/60)

                                             = 52.9 km/h

Distance between initial cities will be between the start of one city to the end of another

Between the first pairs = 40.0 + 30.0 = 70.0 km

Between the second pairs = 30.0 + 20.0 = 50.0 km

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during
attashe74 [19]

<u>Answer:</u>

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during "how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces Earth".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Moon is in sequential rotation with Earth, and thus displays the Sun, the close side, always on the same side. Thanks to libration, Earth can display slightly greater than half (nearly 59 per cent) of the entire lunar surface.

The side of the Moon facing Earth is considered the near side, and the far side is called the reverse. The far side is often referred to as the "dark side" inaccurately but it is actually highlighted as often as the near side: once every 29.5 Earth days. During the New Moon the near side becomes blurred.

What steps are involved in creating hydroelectric power?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Water falls from a reservoir through a channel to a turbine. The water turns the turbines, which allows the generator to make electricity.

It is falling instead of flowing, because elavation is an important part of the hydroeletric power plant, since gravity is a thing, and there was elevation, than it would be falling and not flowing.

How many times farther is Proxima Centauri from the sun than is earth from the sun
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Of the three stars in the system, the dimmest - called Proxima Centauri - is actually the nearest star to the Sun. The two bright stars, called Alpha Centauri A and B form a close binary system; they are separated by only 23 times the Earth - Sun distance.

Which of the following is NOT true? a. The higher the moment of inertia, the greater the resistance to changes in angular veloci
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is the integral of the product of the squared distance by the mass differential. Is the mass equivalent in the rotational motion

a) True. When the moment of inertia is increased, more force is needed to reach acceleration, so it is more difficult to change the angular velocity that depends proportionally on the acceleration

b) True. The moment of inertia is part of the kinetic energy, which is composed of a linear and an angular part. Therefore, when applying the energy conservation theorem, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the rotational part increases with the moment of inertia, so there is less energy left for the linear part and consequently it falls slower

c) True. The moment of inertial proportional to the angular acceleration, when the acceleration decreases as well. Therefore, a smaller force can achieve the value of acceleration and the change in angular velocity. Consequently, less force is needed is easier
