Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 648 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 14 miles per hour faster

than on his way home (he ran into some bad weather). If Jon spent a total of 27 hours driving, find the two rates (in mph). Round your answer to two decimal places, if needed.

Answer:

speed of the Jon visiting parents = 56 mph

           speed of the Jon when returning from home = 56 - 14 = 42 mph

Explanation:

given,

distance of Jon parent's house = 648 mile

avg speed when he was visiting his parent's house be 'x' mph

avg speed when he is returning from his parent's house be 'x-14' mph

total time taken = 27 hours

total distance = speed × time

648 = x × t₁

t_1 = \dfrac{648}{x}

648 = ( x - 14 ) × t₂

t_2 = \dfrac{648}{x-14}

t = t₁ + t₂

27 = \dfrac{648}{x} + \dfrac{648}{x-14}

1 = 24 (\dfrac{1}{x} + \dfrac{1}{x-14})

x² - 62 x + 336 = 0

x² - 56 x - 6 x + 336 = 0

(x - 56 )(x - 6)=0

on solving

x = 56 ,6

hence, speed of the Jon visiting parents = 56 mph

           speed of the Jon when returning from home = 56 - 14 = 42 mph

Answer:56 mph ,42 mph

Explanation:

Given

Distance traveled by john on his way to parents house=648 miles

Let x be the speed during his return trip so during arrival its speed is x+14

Total distance=648+648=1296 miles

Total time=27 hours

distance =speed \times time

27=\frac{648}{x}+\frac{648}{x+14}

27(x+14)(x)=648(2x+14)

x^2-34x-336=0

x=42,-8

-8 is not possible so x=42 mph

arriving rate=42+14=56 mph

Return rate=42 mph

Starting from rest, a 2.1x10^-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exert
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a) The flea's speed when it leaves the ground is v=1.88m/s

b) The flea move 18cm upward while it is pushing off

Explanation:

Hi

<u>Knwons</u>

Mass m=2.1\times 10^{-4} kg, Work W=3.7\times 10^{-4} J and Force F=0.41N

a) Here we are going to use W=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}, so v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} }= \sqrt{\frac{2(3.7\times 10^{-4} J)}{2.1\times 10^{-4} kg} }=1.88m/s

a) Here we are going to use W=mgh, so h=\frac{W}{mg}= \frac{3.7\times 10^{-4} J}{(2.1\times 10^{-4} kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0,1797m or 18cm approx.

A 3 kg penguin is pushed by his penguin friends who give him an initial speed vo at the top of a 30 m hill. The penguin is hopin
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2

\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2

\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s

Explanation:

Note that we take K_2 = 0 because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.
