Donna drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 8 hours. When Donna drove

home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 4 hours. If her average rate was 45 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Donna live from the mountains?

Answer:

d=360 miles

Donna lives 360 miles from the mountains.

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply the formula to calculate uniform moving distance[

d=v*t   Formula (1)

d: distance in miles

t: time in hours

v: speed in miles/hour

Development of problem

The distance Donna traveled to the mountains is equal to the distance back home, equal to d,then,we pose the kinematic equations for d, applying formula 1:

travel data to the mountains: t₁= 8 hours ,  v=v₁

d= v₁*t₁=8*v₁ Equation (1)

data back home : t₂=4hours ,  v=v₂=v₁+45

d=v₂*t₂=(v₁+45)*4=4v₁+180 Equation (2)

Equation (1)=Equation (2)

8*v₁=4v₁+180

8*v₁-4v₁=180

4v₁=180

v₁=180÷4=45 miles/hour

we replace v₁=45 miles/hour in equation (1)

d=8hour*45miles/hour

d=360 miles

Jeremiah is conducting an investigation about the water cycle. He is given the following
Vlada [557]

The water cycle outlines the continuous water movement in liquid, solid and gaseous state between locations on the Earth's surface.

  • The glass jar represents the lake while the atmosphere is represented by the space above the water, and the sky is represented by the (clear) plastic wrap

Arrangement description and Processes;

The processes of the water cycle includes;

  • Evaporation;
  • Condensation
  • Precipitation
  • Sublimation
  • Runoff
  • Infiltration

The arrangement of the materials is as follows;

  • Place the glass jar (the lake) containing water and the lamp (the Sun) side by side, such that the lamp light shines on the water surface

  • Cover the glass jar by wrapping the plastic wrap (the sky) around it to prevent the escape of water vapor when the water is hot.

  • Switch on the lamp so that it heats the water by radiation heat transfer

Observed processes;

The processes demonstrated by the above experiment includes;

1) Evaporation: As the water in the glass jar becomes warmer, the level of the water in the jar can be observed to decrease slightly due to evaporation

2) Condensation: Fog formation, Clouds

When hotter, the water surface as seen through the clear plastic wrap becomes less clearer due to evaporation, and condensation of the vapor while floating above the water surface, similar to the clouds seen in the sky.

3. Precipitation: Rain;

The clear plastic wrap covering the top of the glass jar, prevents the movement of the vapor further away, such that the tiny condensed vapor gather together, to form big droplets under the plastic wrap that falls back into the jar, which is similar to the process of rainfall

The above processes are repeated as more water evaporates from the jar condenses on the plastic wrap and falls back into the jar, showing the process by which water is recycled from the lake into the atmosphere and back to the lake.

Question 1 A ship's position is given as 0 degrees latitude and 27 degrees west longitude. We can conclude from this information
matrenka [14]

Answer: e. on the equator and in the Atlantic Ocean

Explanation:

Latitude and Longitude are geographical coordinates.

<u>Latitude</u> is the angular distance between the <u>equatorial line</u>, and a specific point on the Earth. It is measured in degrees and is represented according to the hemisphere in which the point is located, which can be north or south latitude.  

In this sense latitude 0\° refers to the equatorial line that divides the Earth in two hemispheres (North and South).

On the other hand, <u>Longitude</u> represents the specific <u>east–west </u>position of a point on the Earth's surface, being longitude 0\° the prime meridian or Greenwich meridian.

So, if we have latitude 0\° and longitude 27\° (positive means it is to the East) we can already know the point is in the equator, and the option that bests describes the coordinates is e.

A wheel of mass M and radius R rolls on a level surface without slipping. If the angular velocity of the wheel about its center
Verizon [17]
The most important thing you should remember in order to get how is its linear momentum relative to the surface is that the<span> point on the circumference is moving at w rad/second. 
Therefore, here is the solving formulae:
if </span>v = R * w you can easily get <span> linear momentum p :
</span> p = M * v = M * R * w
I'm sure that helps.

2. Cell phones work by receiving and emitting radiation in the range of 1.9-2.2 Giga Hertz (GHz). This is about 1.9 X 109 -2.2 X
serious [3.7K]

A) 0.136 - 0.158 m

B) Microwaves

Explanation:

A)

For an ectromagnetic wave, there is a relationship between its frequency and its wavelength, contained in the wave equation:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s  is the speed of light in a vacuum

f is the frequency of the wave

For the waves in this problem, we have:

f_1=1.9\cdot 10^9 Hz is the minimum frequency

f_2=2.2\cdot 10^9 Hz is the maximum frequency

Therefore, the range of corresponding wavelengths is:

\lambda_1=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{1.9\cdot 10^9}=0.158 m

\lambda_2=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{2.2\cdot 10^9}=0.136 m

B)

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field occurring in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light (c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s ).

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength and frequency. From the longest to the shortest wavelength, we have:

Radio waves (>1 m)

Microwaves (1 mm - 1 m)

Infrared (750 nm - 1 mm)

Visible light (380 nm - 750 nm)

Ultraviolet (10 nm - 380 nm)

X-rays (0.01 nm - 10 nm)

Gamma rays (<0.01 nm)

Therefore, we see that the waves in this problem (of wavelength between 0.136 and 0.158 m) are classified as microwaves.
