Speed v = distance travelled / time taken

v = d / t

v = 540 / 60h

v = 9 km /h

The speed of the car that travels a distance of 540km in 6 hours is 90km/hr

Explanation:

Given:

Distance the car travels =540km

Time taken by the car to travel 540 km= 6 hours

To Find:

Rate at which the car travels=?

Solution:

$\text { formula for speed }=\frac{\text { distance }}{\text { time }}$

Substituting the known values,

$\text { formula for speed }=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {time}}$

$\text { formula for speed }=\frac{540}{6}$

$\text { formula for speed }=90 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}$

Thus the speed of car is $90 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}$

Calculate the average distances the car and the washer traveled from the top of the track. Record the averages and your qualitat

leva [86]

The distance the car traveled was 75 cm, and the distance the washer traveled was 200 cm. I know this because of coarse I had to calculate the distance and I just took the quiz and it said I got it right.
(I also calculated it again to make sure it was correct before I gave you the answer.)

P.S- Please mark me Brainliest, thank you (^v^).

You create a ramp using two text books and a 0.50m board. Using a timer you determine that a cart can roll down the ramp in 0.55

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s, and the acceleration would be 3.30m/s^2.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity to be zero, we can obtain the velocity at the bottom of the ramp using the kinematics equations:

$v=v_0+at\\\\v^2=v_0^2+2ad$

Dividing the second equation by the first one, we obtain:

$v=\frac{v_0^2+2ad}{v_0+at}$

And, since $v_0=0$ , then:

$v=\frac{2ad}{at}\\\\v=\frac{2d}{t}\\\\v=\frac{2(0.50m)}{0.55s}\\\\v=1.81m/s$

It means that the velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s.

We could use this data, plus any of the two initial equations, to determine the acceleration:

$v=v_0+at\\\\\implies a=\frac{v}{t}\\\\a=\frac{1.81m/s}{0.55s}\\\\a=3.30m/s^2$

So the acceleration is 3.30m/s^2.

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards

Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

$Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2$

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$

$y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25$

and maximum height is

$y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2$

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

What is electromagnetic indiction

lora16 [44]

Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction.
