A train leaves the station heading south on the tracks. It takes 5 seconds to reach 50 miles per hour. It completes the entire 1

00 mile trip in 2 hours. Calculate the trains average speed and velocity over the two hour trip. Show your work. Identify each of the measurements are a ascalr or vector.

Well, in order to figure out the answer is to divide until you figure out how many miles they went per second. If it takes 5 seconds to reach 50 miles per hour it took 10 seconds per every 10 miles meaning each mile took 1 second. (Not actually possible but the answer) So, If it finished a 100 mile trip in 2 hours it took an hour for 50 miles. If it took 1 hour for 50 miles divide 60/50 which gets you 1.2 so it took 1.2 miles per minute meaning the car went 120 miles per hour I believe. I hope this helps :)

Answer:

Average speed is 50 mph

Average velocity is -50 mph . It is negative since it is towards south.

Explanation:

Distance is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector. So for a vector, both magnitude and direction should be specified.

Average speed is the total distance over total time taken . So it is 100 miles over 2 hours which gives 50 mph.

Average velocity has the same magnitude and is also 100miles over 2 hours but it is negative since velocity is a vector and it is directed towards south.

In the standing waves experiment, the string has a mass of 31.2 g and a length of 0.7 m. The string is connected to a mechanical
mestny [16]

Answer:

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the string = 31.2 g

length of string = 0.7 m

linear density of the string = \dfrac{mass\ of\ string}{length}

linear density of the string = \dfrac{31.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg}{0.7\ m}

linear density of the string = 44.57 × 10⁻³ kg/m

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

Kazeer [188]
I am thinking that maybe the problem is not with the calibration. It might be that the buffered solution is already expired since at this point the solution is already not stable and will give a different pH reading than what is expected.

a girl that has a mass of 55kg is standing on a floor, how much supporting force does the floor have?
KengaRu [80]
A girl standing on a floor would have two opposite forces acting on it. These forces are the weight and the normal force. Since no other forces are acting and that the girl is at rest, then the weight must equate to the normal force. Therefore, the supporting force would be:

F = mg = 55kg (9.81 m/s^2) = 539.55 N

A small block with a mass of 0.120 kg is attached to a cord passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (Fig. 6
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

a) 0.147 N

b) 9.408 N

c) 9.261 N

Explanation:

The tension on the cord is the only force keeping the block in circular motion, thus representing the entirety of its centripetal force \frac{mv^{2} }{r}. Plugging in values for initial and final states and we get answers for a and b. The work done by the person causes the centripetal force to increase, and thus is the difference between the final tension and the initial tension.
