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

Ugo [173]

Light at the red end of the visible portion has the least energy, lowest frequency, same speed, and longer wavelength compared to the violet end.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The range in which the light exists is described as the electromagnetic spectrum. The light waves, radio waves, gamma rays,etc that exist in the world is not visible to human eyes. A kind of wave that modifies  magnetic and electric fields is light. Spectroscopy makes use of all the frequencies and the wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation.

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen by the human eyes is the visible spectrum. The light waves with the wavelengths of  380 to 740 nm can be sen by the human eyes. Light at the red end of the visible portion has the least energy, lowest frequency, same speed, and longer wavelength compared to the violet end.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C. less than 950 N.

Explanation:

Given that

Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N

Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N

Lets take resultant force R

The angle between force = θ

θ = 45°

The resultant force R

R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}

R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}

R= 877.89 N

Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.

C. less than 950 N

Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.

It is necessary to determine the specific heat of an unknown object. The mass of the object is 201.0 g. It is determined experim
navik [9.2K]
Mass = 0.201kg
Energy = 15J
temperature change = 10C

Energy(E) = mass(m) × specific heat capacity(c) × temperature change(θ)

we can rearrange this to make specific heat capacity the subject

c =\frac{E}{m\theta}

c =\frac{15}{2.01}
c =7.46268657
