Answer:

Option A. 40 mi/h

Explanation:

To obtain the average speed of the vehicle, we'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by the vehicle in each case. This is illustrated below:

Case 1:

Speed = 30 mi/h

Time = 2 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

30 = Distance /2

Cross multiply

Distance = 30 × 2

Distance = 60 mi

Case 2:

Speed = 60 mi/h

Time = 1 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

60 = Distance /1

Cross multiply

Distance = 60 × 1

Distance = 60 mi

Finally, we shall determine the average speed of the vehicle as follow:

Total distance travelled = 60 + 60

Total distance travelled = 120 mi

Total time = 2 + 1

Total time = 3 h

Average speed =..?

Average speed = Total Distance travelled /Total time

Average speed = 120/3

Average speed = 40 mi/h

Therefore, the average speed of the vehicle is 40 mi/h

A total resistance of 3.03 Ω is to be produced by connecting an unknown resistance to a 12.18 Ω resistance. (a) What must be the

insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

$\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}$

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

$\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}$

$\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}$

$\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479$

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

How does the Sun's gravity influence tides?

nevsk [136]

Answer: <em>Around each new moon and full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon arrange themselves more or less along a line in space. Then the pull on the tides increases, because the gravity of the sun reinforces the moon's gravity. ... This is the spring tide: the highest (and lowest) tide. Spring tides are not named for the season.</em>

What is the electric field 4.0 m from the center of the terminal of a Van de Graaff with a 7.10 mC charge, noting that the field

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

3984875 N/C

Explanation:

Applying,

E = kq/r².................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric field, q = charge, r = distance, k = coulomb's constant.

From the question,

Given: q = 7.10 mC = 0.0071 C, r = 4.0 m

Constant: k = 8.98×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 0.0071(8.98×10⁹)/4²

E = 3984875 N/C

Hence the electric field is 3984875 N/C
