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

Why do some objects fall faster than others?
monitta

Answer:

Weight and Mass !!!!!!

Explanation:

Galileo discovered that objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 89.5 g. If 345.2 J of heat are required to heat the substance from 285 K to 305 K
Zinaida [17]

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
345.2 = 89.5(C)(305 - 285)
C = 0.1928 </span>J/g•K
