Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

A Ping-Pong ball has a mass of 2.3 g and a terminal speed of 9.4 m/s. The drag force is of the form bv^2 What is the value of b?
julia-pushkina [17]
Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2

b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)

b = 0.000255

In a tape recorder, the tape is pulled past the read-and-write heads at a constant speed by the drive mechanism. Consider the re
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Torque decreases .

Explanation:

The tape is pulled at constant speed , speed v is constant , so there is

v = ω r where ω is angular speed and r is radius , As radius decreases , angular speed ω increases , So there is angular acceleration .

Let it be α . Let I be moment of inertia of reel .

Reel is in the form of disc

I = 1/2 m r²

I x α = torque

1/2 m r² x α =  torque

As the reel is untapped , its mass decreases , r also decreases , so torques also decreases .

A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the Sun, focuses the Sun's rays 13.8 cm in front of the mirror. Part A What i
shepuryov [24]

From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is

f = \frac{R}{2}

Here,

f = Focal Length

R = Radius

Rearranging to find the radius we have,

R = 2f

Replacing with our values,

R = 2(13.8cm)

R = 27.6cm

Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

What has highest frequency in electromagnetic spectrum color?
natulia [17]
In Electromagnetic spectrum, X-rays has very high frequency but gamma-rays has more than that. If you consider cosmic rays as an electromagnetic wave, then it would be highest energetic and has highest frequency.

In short, Your Answer is "Cosmic rays"

Hope this helps!
