<u>Answer:</u> The average speed while walking is 12 km/hr.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

To calculate the average speed while walking, we use the equation:

\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance traveled}}{\text{Total time taken}}

We are given:

Distance from school to home = 5 km

Time taken = 25 mins  = 0.417 hr   (Conversion factor: 1 min = 60 sec)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Average speed while walking}=\frac{5km}{0.417hr}=12km/hr

Hence, the average speed while walking is 12 km/hr.

If it takes ten minutes to travel 5 km, then it'll take 60 minutes to travel thirty, making your biking speed 30 kilometers per hour. 25 minutes divided by ten is 2.5. multiply 5 by 2.5 to get 12.5, your average walking speed.

Two particles are located on the x axis. particle 1 has a mass m and is at the origin. particle 2 has a mass 2m and is at x = +l
wlad13 [49]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>
The force on m is:</span>

<span>
GMm / x^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 1

The force on 2m is:</span>

<span>
GM(2m) / (L - x)^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 2

From (1), you’ll get M = 2mx^2 / L^2 and from (2) you get M = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

Since the Ms are the same, then 

2mx^2 / L^2 = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

2x^2 = (L - x)^2 

xsqrt2 = L - x 

x(1 + sqrt2) = L 

x = L / (sqrt2 + 1) From here, we rationalize. 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (sqrt2 + 1)(sqrt2 - 1) 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (2 - 1) 


x = L(sqrt2 - 1) </span>

 

= 0.414L

 

<span>Therefore, the third particle should be located the 0.414L x axis so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and particle 2 doubles.</span>

In a ballistics test, a 52g bullet hits a sand bag and stops after moving 1.34 m. If the initial bullat
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Friction force on the bullet is 58.7 N opposite to its velocity

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the bullet is 55 m/s

after travelling into the sand bag by distance d = 1.34 m it comes to rest

so final speed

v_f = 0

now we can use kinematics top find the acceleration of the bullet

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

so we have

0 - 55^2 = 2(a)(1.34)

a = -1128.7 m/s^2

now by Newton's II law we know that

F = ma

so we have

F = (0.052)(-1128.7)

F = -58.7 N

A cheetah runs 5 miles in 60 seconds. How fast did the cheetah run in MILES per HOUR? Convert seconds into hours first, then sol
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

300 miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed is distance per unit time, expressed as s=d/t where t is the time taken, d is distance covered and s is the speed.

Convering s to hrs

To convert seconds to hours, we knkw that 1 hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds. Therefore, 1 hour has 60*60=3600 seconds

If 3600s=1 h

60 s=?

By cross multiplication 60s*1 h/3600s=1/60 hours

Given distance as 5 miles and time as 1/60 hours then the speed will be 5 divided by 1/60 hrs which is equivalent to 5*60=300 miles per hour

This is a Physics practice question. How do i solve it?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

P = 140000 [Pa]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force on the area of a body.

In this particular problem, we are given the force acting on the upper surface of the block, including the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure.

P = F/A

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of Pascals)

F = force = 3.5*10⁴ [N]

A = area = 0.25 [m²]

P = 3.5*10⁴/0.25

P = 140000 [Pa]
