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.

How are frequency and wave period related?
dedylja [7]
-- The unit of frequency is "per second"  (Hz), which is [reciprocal time].

-- The unit of period is "second", which is [time].

Do you see where this is going ?

'Frequency' and 'period' are reciprocals of each other.

For any wave ...

Period  =  (1) / (frequency) .

Frequency  =  (1) / (period) .

The lowest point in Death Valley is 85 m below sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m.What is th
mario62 [17]

Answer:

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Depth of Death valley is 85 m below sea level, h_i=-85\ m

The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m, h_f=4420\ m

Mass of the hiker, m = 65 kg

We need to find the change in potential energy. It is given by :

\Delta E=mg(h_f-h_i)

\Delta E=65\times 9.8(4420-(-85))

\Delta E=2869685\ J

or

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

So, the change in potential energy of the hiker is 2.87\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

The mass of an atom is ________________________.
alexandr402 [8]
The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.
