A car drives to the east in a time of 4 hours. Then, immediately (not realistic, but just assume this is the case for this probl

em), travels 12 km to the west in 4 hours. The average speed for the entire trip is 5 km/hr. What is the average speed of the car for the first part of the trip, in km/hr, while the car was traveling east?

Answer:

Average speed in east direction speed=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{28}{4}=7km/hr            

Explanation:

We have given average speed of the entire trip = 5 km/hr

First the car 4 hours then travels 12 km in 4 hours

So total time of the trip = 4+4 = 8 hours

So total distance traveled in the trip d=speed\times time = 5\times 8=40km

As the car travel 12 km in 4 hours to the west

So distance traveled in 4 hour in east = 40 -12 = 28 km

Time in east direction = 4 hour

So average speed in east direction speed=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{28}{4}=7km/hr

A bus hits a bug and the bug splatters on the windshield, which force is greater?
grandymaker [24]

The forces acting on a body and the type of motion that results are given by Newton's three Laws of motion

  • The <u>force </u>of the bus is <u>the same</u> as reactive force of the bug

Reason:

According to Newton's third Law of motion, given that the bug collides

with the bus, the force with which the bus hits the bug is equal to the

reactive force of the bug on the on the bus

According to Newton's second Law of motion, force is equal to the rate of

change of the momentum produced

The impulse of the force of the bus on the bug is given as follows;

F·Δt = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Given that the force of the bus is large, the change in momentum, m·(v₂ - v₁),

is also large such that the parts of the bug are split by the rapid change in

velocity, and the bug splatters on the windshield, and is then carried along

on the trip,

The equally large reactive force of the bug, is such that the bug splatters

due its magnitude

Therefore, the correct response is that <u>the forces are the same</u>

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

Two brothers, Frank and Dion, are on roller skates and standing still when they push off from one another. Frank's mass is 103.4
tigry1 [53]
Around -3.5 ( might not be completely right ) Frank has a greater mass to he has a low velocity at first, Dion is around half of his weight so he doesn’t have to use as much force to get more than Frank
