Answer:

3.5 m

Explanation:

The wording at the end is not very clear, but I am pretty sure that the question is asking for the total distance moved from the starting point. If this is the case, the answer is found by subtracting the two vectors from each other because they are in opposite directions. This gives you 3.5 m. If the question was asking for the actual total distance moved, you would just add them together and get 14.3 m, but I don't think that is what the question is asking for. Hope this helps! :)

1.)A tank travels at a rate of 10.0 km/hr for 12.00 minutes, then at 15.0 km/hr for 8.00
rosijanka [135]

12.00 min = 0.2 hr

8.00 min = 0.15 hr

Total distance:

(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) + (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)

= 8.25 km

Average speed:

(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr + 20.0 km/hr) / 3

= 15 km/hr

Change in position:

(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) - (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)

= 0.25 km

Average velocity:

(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr - 20.0 km/hr) / 3

≈ 1.67 m/s

You open the refrigerator in your room and put in a case of room-temperature root beer. After an hour, the root beer is ice cold
agasfer [191]

Answer:

warmer

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can be transferred or converted from one from to another. In this question when the beer that is at room temperature is put in the fridge, it loses some heat energy. This heat energy is not destroyed, the fridge through  multiple processes eventually releases this heat to the room through pipes at the back which is why they are normally warm. the heat from the food inside is expelled to the room. It is not lost.

a skydiver jumped out of a plane and fell 9 miles to the ground. his average speed while falling was 174 miles/hour. how much ti
shutvik [7]

Answer:

t = 0.051 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

A skydiver jumped out of a plane and fell 9 miles to the ground. It means 9 miles is the distance covered.

The average speed of the skydiver is 174 miles/hour

We need to find the time for which he dive last. It means t is the time taken. Total distance covered divided by time taken is called average speed. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{9}{174}\\\\t=0.051\ s

So, a skydiver dive for 0.051 seconds.
