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

What does it mean for water to have a high heat capacity
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Its heat capacity is higher than that of any other liquid or solid, its specific heat being 1 cal / g, this means that to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 ° C it is necessary to provide an amount of heat equal to a calorie . Therefore, the heat capacity of 1 g of water is equal to 1 cal / K.

Explanation:

The water has a very high heat capacity, a large amount of heat is necessary to raise its temperature 1.0 ° K. For biological systems this is very important because the cellular temperature is modified very little in response to metabolism. In the same way, aquatic organisms, if water did not possess that quality, would be very affected or would not exist.

This means that a body of water can absorb or release large amounts of heat, with little temperature change, which has a great influence on the weather (large bodies of water in the oceans take longer to heat and cool than the ground land). Its latent heats of vaporization and fusion (540 and 80 cal / g, respectively) are also exceptionally high.

Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h
Stels [109]

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion \alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T

Where, \Delta T= temperature difference

\alpha=Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})

\Delta L=0.42\ m

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.
