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

Give at least one fact about subatomic particles
victus00 [196]

Answer:

- Particles smaller than atoms are called subatomic particles .

- There are three famous subatomic particles, proton, neutron and electron .

- The study of sub atomic particles are called particle physics

- These particles can be divided as Brayons and Leptons

- These particles are often held together by one of the four fundamental particles ( Weak force, strong force, electromagnetic force, gravitational force).

A glass plate (n = 1.64) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.28). A light beam of variable wavelength from air i
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is case of interference in thin films

for constructive interference in thin film the condition is

2μ t = (2n+1)λ/2    ;  μ is refractive index of oil , t is thickness of oil , λ is wave length of light .

2 x 1.28 x t = λ/2 , if n = 0

2 x 1.28 x t = 605 /2

t = 118.16 nm .

the minimum non-zero thickness of the oil film required = 118.16 nm.

approximation to the average velocity in that time interval, what should be the sequence of calculations?Update the (vector) pos
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The steps are outlined in the explanation below.

Explanation:

The average velocity is derived midpoint from the initial to the final velocity. Here is the proof:

Find the total displacement:

let the displacement be given by the letter s

Then since the average velocity is defined as:  v_{av}  = \frac{x - x_{0} }{t - t_{0} }

where t = final time

           t₀ = initial time

           v = final speed

           v₀ = initial time

where x denotes the position, then

v_{ave} = \frac{v+v_{0} }{2}

where v = \frac{dx}{dt} and dx = change in distance with respect to time.
