Answer is 25 m/s.

<em>Explanation;</em>

<em>Step 1 : Convert the units into same unit.</em>

Here speeds are given in m/s while the time is in minutes. So, let's convert minutes into seconds.

1 min = 60 s

Then,

   10 minutes = 10 x 60 s = 600 s

<em>Step 2 :  Find the total distance that you have travelled.</em>

To find that you need to first find distances separately.

We know the formula, s = vt, where s is the distance, v is the speed or velocity and t is the time.

  • First you have travelled 10 minutes (600 s) at 20.0 m/s.

        Then distance, s = 20.0 m/s x 600 s = 12 000 m

  • Secondly you have travelled again 10 minutes at 30.0 m/s

        Then distance = 30.0 m/s x 600 s = 18 000 m

Then, the total distance = 12 000 m + 18 000 m = 30 000 m

<em>Step 3 : Find the total time taken to travel.</em>

Total time  = 600 s + 600 s = 1200 s

<em>Step 4 : Calculate the average speed.</em>

Average speed = total distance / total time

                          = 30 000 m / 1200 s

                          = 25 m/s

Induced EMF and Current in a Shrinking LoopShrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let c be the circumference and r be the radius

c = 2πr , r = c / 2π , area A = π r² = π (c/2π )²  = (1/4π) x c²

flux (ψ) = BA = 1 X 1/4π X c²

dψ/dt = 1/4π x 2c dc/dt =1/2π x c x dc/dt

at t = 8 s

c = 161 - 13 x 8 = 57 cm , dc/dt = 13 cm/s  

e = dψ/dt = (1 / 2π )x 57 x 13 x 10⁻⁴ = 118 x 10⁻⁴ V.

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?
kifflom [539]
Based on the law of conservation of energy, we know that we can't create energy, machines can only convert one type of energy into another. So, if we want to improve a machines's ability then we need to reduce it's loss energy (part of energy which is useless). Out of all the options only Option C fits best with it.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

Answer:

No sand doesn't stay sand forever.

Explanation:

  • We may have a thought that the sand we see on the beach areas are always the same one for eternal, but it is not true.
  • Due to different activities like beach nourishment, sand replenishment etc. the sand in the beach areas are changed and replaced.
  • If the sand remained there for long time, it also affects the sand eating organisms and plants.
