What does it mean to say that the average speed of a car is 35 miles per hour?

Physics

LenKa [72]3 years ago

It means that the car has covered

(35 miles) x (the number of hours since it started traveling).

At some points during that time, the car was most likely moving
faster or slower than 35 miles per hour.  We don't know.  We only
know that it covered  (35 miles) x (the number of hours since it left).

The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

A football is thrown due north across a 40 meter river and it takes 2 seconds to cover that distance.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I. Speed = 20m/s

II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Distance = 40m

Time = 2secs

To find the speed;

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Speed = \frac{40}{2}

<em>Speed = 20m/s.</em>

In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

<em>Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North</em>.

WORTH 47 POINTS!!! It's EASY too!
Vikentia [17]
The Factors are Temperature and kinetic energy, the temperature is because the particles are going to move fast which means the particles in a solid container or in solid pattern they will actually vibrate and they will expand , when temperature increase, more kinetic energy between the particles .
examples is that in the steel when you heat a steel the particles inside it will vibrate then the particles speed up because the vibration increases, therefore the temperature increases so a a thermal expansion occurs that the vibration of the particles will take up more space so the steel bar expands slightly in all Direction if the temperature Falls the reverse happens and the material or steel contracts which means get smaller .
another example is the thermometer, the thermometer has a liquid inside it which is Mercury or alcohol this liquid expands when the temperature rises, the tube is made narrow so that a small increase in volume of the liquid produces a large movement along the tube.

A car is driving at 99 km/h, calculate the distance it travels in 70 minutes.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

Explanation:

Distance d = vt where v = speed of the car and t = time taken to travel

Now v = 99 km/h. We now convert it to S.I units. So

v = 99 km/h = 99 × 1000 m/(1 × 3600 s)

v = 99000 m/3600 s

v = 27.5 m/s

The speed of the car is 27.5 m/s in S.I units

We now convert the time t = 70 minutes to seconds by multiplying it by 60.

So, t = 70 min = 70 × 60 s = 4200 s

The time taken to travel is 4200 s in S.I units

Now the distance, d = vt

d = 27.5 m/s × 4200 s

d = 115500 m

So, the distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

Of the following the only process not involed in the making of clastic rocks is:
Elden [556K]
The answer is B. build up of plant materials. This is because those rocks that are composed of materials, which are organic matters from decaying plants, formed by biological activity are called biogenic or organic or non-clastic rocks. On the other hand, clastic rocks are made up of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.
