Answer:

c. less than 60 mi/h

Explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the bus, we need to calculate the total distance traveled by the bus, as well as the total time of travel of the bus.

Total Distance Traveled = S = 100 mi + 100 mi

S = 200 mi

Now, for total time, we calculate the times for both speeds from A to b and then B to C, separately and add them.

Total Time = t = Time from A to B + Time from B to C

t = (100 mi)/(50 mi/h) + (100 mi)(70 mi/h)

t = 2 h + 1.43 h

t = 3.43 h

Now, the average speed of bus will be given as:

Average Speed = V = S/t

V = 200 mi/3.43 h

V = 58.33 mi/h

It is clear from this answer that the correct option is:

c. less than 60 mi/h

5. Assume that you and your best friend ench have $1000 to invest. You invest your money

Bezzdna [24]

Correct question reads;

Assume that you and your best friend each have $1000 to invest. You invest your money in a fund that pays 10% per year compound interest. Your friend invests her money at a bank that pays 10% per year simple interest. At the end of 1 year, the difference in the total amount for each of you is:

(a) You have $10 more than she does

(b) You have $100 more than she does

(d) She has $10 more than you do

Answer:

(d) She has $10 more than you do

Explanation:

Using the compound interest formula

A= P [ (1-i)^n-1

Where P = Principal/invested amount, i = annual interest rate in percentage, and n = number of compounding periods.

My compound interest is:

= 1000 [ (1-0.1)^1-1

= $1000

$1,000 + $1,000 invested= $2,000 total amount received.

My friend's simple interest is;

To determine the total amount accrued we use the formula:

P(1 + rt) Where:

P = Invested Amount (1000)

I = Interest Amount (10,000)

r = Rate of Interest per year (10% or 0.2)

t = Time Period (1 )

= 1000 (1 + rt)

= 1000 (1 + 0.1x1)

= $1100 + $1000 invested = $2100 total amount received.

Therefore, we observe that she (my friend) has $100 more than I do.

A Si sample contains 1016 cm-3 In acceptor atoms and a certain number of shallow donors, the In acceptor level is 0.16 eV above

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

6.5 × 10¹⁵/ cm³

Explanation:

Thinking process:

The relation $N_{o} = N_{i} * \frac{E_{f}-E_{i} }{KT}$

With the expression Ef - Ei = 0.36 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

and ni = 1.5 × 10¹⁰

Temperature, T = 300 K

K = 1.38 × 10⁻²³

This generates N₀ = 1.654 × 10¹⁶ per cube

Now, there are 10¹⁶ per cubic centimeter

Hence, $N_{d} = 1.65*10^{16} - 10^{16} \\ = 6.5 * 10^{15} per cm cube$

A gas enters a compressor that provides a pressure ratio (exit pressure to inlet pressure) equal to 8. If a gage indicates the g

olga55 [171]

Answer:

$P_2_{abs}=160\ psia$ (absolute).

Explanation:

Given that

Pressure ratio r

r=8

$r=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{P_1_{abs}}$

$8=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{P_1_{abs}}$ -----1

P₁(gauge) = 5.5 psig

We know that

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure

Given that

Atmospheric pressure = 14.5 lbf/in²

P₁(abs) = 14.5 + 5.5 psia

P₁(abs) =20 psia

Now by putting the values in the above equation 1

$8=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{20}$

$P_2_{abs}=8\times 20\ psia$

$P_2_{abs}=160\ psia$

Therefore the exit gas pressure will be 160 psia (absolute).
