The average speed is 615.7 mph (275.2 m/s)

Explanation:

The average speed of an object gives a measure of how fast an object is moving over a certain time interval. It is a scalar quantity, and it is calculated as follows

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

v is the average speed

d is the distance covered

t is the time interval

For the jet in this problem, we have:

d = 1293 mi is the distance covered

t = 2.1 h is the time interval

Therefore, the average speed is:

$v=\frac{1293}{2.1}=615.7 mph$

We can also convert into SI units (m/s), keeping in mind that:

$1 mi = 1609 m\\1 h = 3600 s$

And so

$v=615.7 \frac{mi}{h}\cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=275.2 m/s$

If two swimmers compete in a race, does the faster swimmer develop more power?

valkas [14]

Power is equal to energy per unit time. In this case, power is proportional to energy while is inversely proportional to time,on the other hand. Given the two swimmers exerts same amount of energy but the faster swimmer just does things in faster time, then the faster swimmer should develop more power from shorter time

Two sound waves (speed 343 m/s) have different wavelengths. The first has a wavelength of 5.72 m, and the second a wavelength of

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 30 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the two sound waves, v = 343 m/s

wavelength of the first wave, λ₁ = 5.72 m

wavelength of the second wave, λ₂ = 11.44 m

The frequency of the first wave is calculated as follows;

F₁ = v/λ₁

F₁ = 343 / 5.72

F₁ = 59.97 HZ

The frequency of the second wave is calculated as follows;

F₂ = v/λ₂

F₂ = 343 / 11.44

F₂ = 29.98 Hz

The beat frequency is calculated as;

Fb = F₁ - F₂

Fb = 59.97 HZ - 29.98 Hz

Fb = 30 Hz

Consider a roller coaster begins 15m above the ground. If the cart has a mass of 75kg, what is the velocity of the cart halfway

SashulF [63]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the cart, m = 75 kg

The roller coaster begins 15 m above the ground.

We need to find the velocity of the cart halfway to the ground. Let the velocity be v. Using the conservation of energy at this position, h = 15/2 = 7.5 m

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 7.5} \\\\v=12.12\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the cart is 12.12 m/s.
