You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 51 km/h and the other half at 71 km/h. On the way back

you travel half the distance at 51 km/h and the other half at 71 km/h.
What is your average speed (a) from San Antonio to Houston, (b) from Houston back to San Antonio, and (c) for the entire trip? (d) What is your average velocity for the entire trip?

Answer:

Part a)

v_{avg} = 61 km/h

Part b)

v_{avg} = 59.4 km/h

Part c)

v_{avg} = 60.2 km/h

Part d)

average velocity must be ZERO

Explanation:

While he drive San Antonio to Houston

Half the time move with speed 51 km/h and next half his speed is 71 km/h

so we have

v_1(T/2) + v_2(T/2) = d

T = \frac{2d}{v_1 + v_2}

T = \frac{2d}{51 + 71}

so average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{T}

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{\frac{2d}{51 + 71}}

v_{avg} = 61 km/h

Part b)

While he move from Houston to San Antonio half the distance is moved with 51 km/h and next half distance with 71 km/h

so we have

T = \frac{d}{2v_1} + \frac{d}{2v_2}

T = \frac{d}{102} + \frac{d}{142}

so average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{ \frac{d}{102} + \frac{d}{142}}

v_{avg} = 59.4 km/h

Part c)

Average speed for entire trip

v_{avg} = \frac{2d}{\frac{2d}{51 + 71} + \frac{d}{102} + \frac{d}{142}}

v_{avg} = 60.2 km/h

Part d)

Since total displacement of entire trip is zero

so average velocity must be ZERO

A particular inductor is connected to a circuit where it experiences a change in current of 0.8 amps every 0.10 sec. If the indu
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Given that a particular inductor is connected to a circuit where it experiences a change in current of 0.8 amps every 0.10 sec. If the inductor has a self-inductance of 2.0 V, what is the inductance

Using the power formula

P = IV

Substitute all the parameters

P = 0.8 × 2

P = 1.6 W

But P = I^2 R

Substitute power and current

1.6 = 0.8^2 R

R = 1.6 / 0.64

R = 2.5 ohms

Inductance = reciprocal of resistance

Inductance = 1 / 2.5

Inductance = 0.4

Sedimentary rock turns into magnum through which process
alexandr402 [8]
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.

A satellite is spinning at 6.0 rev/s. The satellite consists of a main body in the shape of a sphere of radius 2.0 m and mass 10
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

605447.7066 kgm²/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of sphere = 10000 kg

m_2 = Mass of rod = 10 kg

r = Radius of sphere = 2 m

l = Length of antenna = 3 m

Angular speed

\omega=6\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \omega=37.69911\ rad/s

Angular momentum is given by

L=I\omega

Moment of inertia of the satellite is

I_s=\frac{2}{5}m_1r^2

Moment of antenna of the satellite is

I_a=\frac{1}{3}m_2l^2

The angular momentum of the system is

L=I_s\omega+I_a\omega\\\Rightarrow L=\left(\frac{2}{5}m_1r^2+2\times \frac{1}{3}m_2l^2\right)\omega\\\Rightarrow L=\left(\frac{2}{5}10000\times 2^2+2\times \frac{1}{3}\times 10\times 3^2\right)\times 37.69911\\\Rightarrow L=605447.7066\ kgm^2/s

The angular momentum of the satellite is 605447.7066 kgm²/s

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

B) Depends on launch speed.

Explanation:

This is true when considering the basketball player in a given basketball game. The speed at which the player jumps up is a strong factor which determines the acceleration of his acceleration. The direct co-relation show that, speed and acceleration of the basketball player are interrelated.
