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

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?
AfilCa [17]
Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

A paleontologist estimates that when a particular rock formed, it contained 12 mg of the radioactive isotope potassium-40, which
leva [86]

Answer:

t = 2.52 billion \:years

Explanation:

As we know by radioactivity law

N = N_o e^{-\lambda t}

so here we will have

N = 3 mg

N_o = 12 mg

now we will have

3 = 12 e^{-\lambda t}

\lambda t = ln 4

now we also know that

\lambda = \frac{ln2}{1.26 \times 10^6 yrs}

t = 1.26\times 10^6\times \frac{ln4}{ln2}

t = 2.52 billion \:years

The United States spends over $20 billion a year on space exploration through NASA. Do you think that this has been worth the co
-BARSIC- [3]

Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

10 N

Explanation:

While many people would like to simply add the forces from each end to get a total force, this is fundamentally incorrect.
