Nope, this is impossible because in order for a car to pass another, they the 55 mph car would have to be behind the 65 mph car (meaning that starting ahead of the 65 mph doesn't count as pass). Assuming that they both drive for one hour, it is impossible because the first will cover a distance of 65 mi and the second would cover a distance of 55 mi. One is obviously ahead of the other and is therefore impossible for the slow one to pass the first one unless the slow car keeps driving after an hour. In that case, it would take approximately 11 minutes for it to pass the other car. This was found by finding the distance needed to pass the first car : 65 - 55 = 10 mi and converted using 1 hr/ 55 mi = .18181818 hr x 60 min/ 1 hr = 11 seconds
I hope this helps :)

Sure it is.  We only know the average speeds, but we don't know
how much of the time each car drove faster or slower. 

The averages only tell us who got to the end of their trip sooner. 
But there could have been a time ... or several times during the hour ...
when the 55mph car was blazing and passed the 65mph car.

In fact, the 55mph car could have been driving at 110 mph for the
first 29 minutes, then the last 1.83 miles at a speed of 3.5 mph.
His average would then be 55mph, even though he spent the first
29 minutes passing everybody and everything on the road in the
first 53.16 miles of his trip.

You drive a car for 2.0 h at 60 km/h, then for another 3.0 h at 85 km/h. What is your average velocity
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average velocity is found in the total displacement experienced in the trip divided by the total time it took to make this trip. If, for the first 2.0 hours, the car travels at 60 km/hr, then in 2.0 hours the car can travel 120 km; if it then travels for 3.0 at 85 km/hr, it can travel 255 km in the same direction. The total time this took was 5.0 hours. So doing the math and rounding correctly by following the rules for the adding and subtracting of sig fig's:

v=\frac{120+255}{5.0}=\frac{380}{5.0}=76\frac{km}{hr}

If you do not round when you add, the average velocity is 75 km/hr

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation from the sun reaching the earth's upper atmosphere is 1.37kW/m2kW/m2. Part A Assuming
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

#_photon = 7  10²¹ photons

Explanation:

Let's look for the power that affects the panel of area of ​​1.5 m2

           I = P / A

           P = I A

           P = 1.37 10³  1.5

           P = 2,055 10³ W

           P = E / t

       

If we use t = 1 s

           E = P t

           E = 2,055 10³ J

This is the power that the panel receives, let's look for the energy of a photon

            E = h f

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            E = h c /λ

Let's calculate

            E₀ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸/680 10⁻⁹

            E₀ = 2.925 10⁻¹⁹ J

In one second the total energy is the number of photons for the energy of each one

             E = #_photon  E₀

             #_photon = E / E₀

             #_photon = 2,055 10³ / 2,925 10⁻¹⁹

            #_photon = 7  10²¹ photons

what is the average velocity if the initial velocity of an object is 10 m/s and the final velocity is 28 m/s?
sashaice [31]

19 m/s is the average velocity if the initial velocity of an object is 10 m/s and the final velocity is 28 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The initial and final velocity is given and the average velocity is asked, which can be calculated by the following method,

Given that initial velocity = 10 m/s and final velocity = 28 m/s

As we know that the average velocity = \frac{\text {final velocity}+\text {inital velocity}}{2}

Although, \text {averge velocity}=\frac{\text {total displacement}}{\text {total time}}

But here, there is only given initial and final velocity therefore it will be simply an average of the two.

\text {average velocity}=\frac{10+28}{2}=\frac{38}{2}=19 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Therefore, the average velocity of the object is 19 m/s.

An 80-kg firefighter slides down a fire pole. After 1.3 seconds of sliding, the firefighter is sliding at a velocity of 6.5 m/s,
yuradex [85]

Answer:

a= 0

Explanation:

  • In the vertical direction, if the friction force (directed upward) is equal to the force of gravity (downward) this means that no net force is acting on the firefighter.
  • According to Newton's 2nd Law, if no net force is present, the acceleration in this direction is just zero, as follows:

       F_{net} = m*a = 0  (1)

      ⇒ a = 0
