Answer:

From city A to city B her speed was 38 mi/h

Explanation:

The traveled distance can be calculated using this equation:

From city A to city B

228 mi = v · t₁

Where:

v = velocity

t₁ = time it took Kiran to travel the 228 mi from city A to city B

From city B to city C

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

We also know that the entire trip took 14 h, then:

t₁ + t₂ = 14 h

So, we have a system of three equations with three unknwons:

228 mi = v · t₁

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

t₁ + t₂ = 14 h

Let´s solve the third equation for t₁:

t₁ = 14 h - t₂

Now let´s replace t₁ in the first equation and solve it for t₂

228 mi = v · t₁

228 mi = v · (14 h - t₂)

228 mi/v - 14 h =  - t₂

t₂ = 14 h - 228 mi/v

Now let´s replace t₂ in the second equation:

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · (14 h - 228 mi/v)

400 mi = 14 h · v - 228 mi + 168 mi - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

400 mi = 14 h · v - 60 mi - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

460 mi = 14 h · v - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

Multiplicate by v both sides of the equation:

460 mi · v = 14 h · v² - 2736 mi²/h

0 = 14 h · v² - 460 mi · v - 2737 mi²/h

Solving the quadratic equation:

v = 38 mi/h

(The other solution of the equation is negative, and therefore discarded)

From city A to city B her speed was 38 mi/h

A +2e charge is at the point (-1,0) mm in the x,y plane. A –e charge is at the point (0,1) mm. What is the electric field at the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Let I and j be the unit vector along x and y axis respectively.

Electric field at origin is given by

E= kq1/r1^2 i + kq2/r2^2j

= 9*10^9*1.6*10^-19*/10^-6*(2i+ j)

= (2.88i + 1.44j)*10^-3 N/C

Force on charge= qE= 3*10^-19*1.6*(2.88i +1. 44 j) *10^-3

F= (1.382 i + 0.691 j) *10^-21

 

 Goodluck

Why do noble gasses rarely react with other elements?
ollegr [7]
Noble gasses have an outer shell full of electrons. A full outer energy level is the most stable arrangement of electrons. As a result, noble gases cannot become more stable by reacting with other elements and gaining or losing valence electrons. Therefore, noble gases are rarely involved in chemical reactions and almost never form compounds with other elements.
