Fiora starts riding her bike at 20 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 14 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the

trip. The whole trip of 112 miles takes her 6.5 hours. For how long did she travel at 20 mi/h?

Answer:

3.5 hours

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Let the distance that Fiora biked at 20 mi/h through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours at 20 mi/h

Then, the rest of the distance that she biked at 14 mi/h is (112 - x) miles

And the time she spent biking at 14 mi/h the rest of the distance = (6.5 - t) hours

Her first biking speed = 20 mph = 20 miles/hour

Speed = distance/time

20 = x/t

x = 20 t (eqn 1)

Her second biking speed = 14 mph = 14 miles/hour

14 = (112 - x)/(6.5 - t)

112 - x = 14 (6.5 - t)

112 - x = 91 - 14t (eqn 2)

Substitute for x in (eqn 2)

112 - 20t = 91 - 14t

20t - 14t = 112 - 91

6t = 21

t = 3.5 hours

x = 20t = 20 × 3.5 = 70 miles.

(112 - x) = 112 - 70 = 42 miles

(6.5 - t) = 6.5 - 3.5 = 3 hours

Meaning that she travelled at 20 mi/h for 3.5 hours.

A man is using a fishing rod to catch fish in figure 1.

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

In general, these 3rd class levers are very inefficient. Because the force distance is smaller than the load distance, you need to pull upward with more force that the weight of the load. So whatever the load is, the force is going to be much greater.

The distances are always measured to the pivot unless you are asked something specific otherwise.

Givens

F = ?

weight = 6N

Force Distance = F*d = 0.5 m

Weight Distance =W*d1 = 2 m

Formula

F*Fd = W*Wd

Solution

F*0.5 = 6 * 2            Divide by 0.5

F = 12/0.5

F = 24 N upwards

A 12 oz can of soda is left in a car on a hot day. In the morning the soda temperature was 60oF with a gauge pressure of 40 psi.
Neko [114]
In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:

P/T = Constant

Then
\frac{ P_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} }{ T_{2} }

Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)

Substituting;
P_{2} = \frac{ P_{1}  T_{2} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{40*305}{289}  =42.21 psi

What does it mean to say the mass is conserved during a physical change ?
Olin [163]
Mater doesn't just appear or disappeared. Chemical elements are still there just the connections and how it combines changes.

So what goes into your chemical eqation must still exist after the change.
