pav-90 [236]

Firstly, we need to make the times and distance equal to compare.

1hr=60mins
Gonz drove 90km in 60mins,so they would drive 45km in 30 mins dividing it by 2.
Because the Rivs had gone 30km in 30mins, Gonz were faster.

For the adverage speed, we should first add the speed of each family in mph , so 90+60, which equals 150 and divide that by 2 because there are 2 speeds so the average speed is 75mph.

P.S English is my second language so tell me if you don't understand something and I will try and explain.

How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)
poizon [28]

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Motors commonly contain a "commutator" which allows a magnetic field due to a loop of wire to always be in a say "clockwise or counterclockwise" direction even tho the loop of wire is rotating.

That means that magnetic field due to the surrounding magnets is always in the same direction, but the magnetic field due to the rotating   loop of wire is continually changing so that it will always oppose the surrounding field which remains in a constant direction.

This is most easily seen in a "DC - direct current motor".
