David drove the first 6 hours of his journey at 65 km / hour and the last 3 hours of his journey at 80 km / hour . How far is th
inessss [21]

Answer:

630 km.

Explanation:

To obtain the total distance travelled by David, we shall calculate the distance travelled in each, then sum them together.

Case 1:

Speed 1 (S₁) = 65 km / hour

Time 1 (t₁) = 6 hours

Distance 1 (d₁) =?

Speed = Distance /time

S₁ = d₁ / t₁

65 = d₁ / 6

Cross multiply

d₁ = 65 × 6

d₁ = 390 Km

Case 2:

Speed 2 (S₂) = 80 km / hour

Time 2 (t₂ ) = 3 hours

Distance 2 (d₂) =?

Speed = Distance /time

S₂ = d₂ / t₂

80 = d₂ / 3

Cross multiply

d₂ = 80 × 3

d₂ = 240 Km

Finally, we obtained the total distance travelled by David as follow

Distance 1 (d₁) = 390 Km

Distance 2 (d₂) = 240 Km

Total Distance travelled (dₜ) =?

Total distance = distance 1 + distance 2

dₜ = d₁ + d₂

dₜ = 390 + 240

dₜ = 630 km

Therefore, the total distance travelled by David is 630 km

Real world situation to explain the relationship between work and power
In-s [12.5K]
-- You and your partner both get the same job to do:

Each of you gets a pallet of bricks, and you have to
put the bricks up on the bed of a truck, by hand.
Both pallets have the same number of bricks.

The pallet is way too heavy to lift, so you both cut the bands
that hold the bricks, and you lift the bricks from the pallet onto
the truck, by hand, two or three or four bricks at a time.

-- You get your pallet of bricks onto the truck in 45 minutes.

-- Your partner gets his pallet of bricks onto the truck in 3 days.

-- Work = (force) times (distance).

    You and your partner both lifted the same amount of weight
     up to the same height.  You both did the same amount of work.

-- Power = (work done) divided by (time it takes to do the work) .

  
Your partner took roughly 96 times as long as you took
   to do the same amount of work. 
   You did it faster.  He did it slower.
   You produced more power.  He produced less power.

How much work does the charge escalator do to move 2.30 μC of charge from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a 3.
loris [4]

Answer:

6.9\times 10^{-6} J

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge=q=2.3\mu C=2.3\times 10^{-6} C

1\mu C=10^{-6} C

Potential difference=V=3 V

We know that

Work done=V\times q

Using the formula

Work done by charge to move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of battery=2.3\times 10^{-6}\times 3 J

Work done by charge to move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of battery=6.9\times 10^{-6} J
