Answer:

The average speed of the car is 66.9 km/h

Explanation:

Here distance covered with the speed 57 km/h=7 km 

distance covered with the speed of 81 km/h=7 km

Average speed is equal to the ratio of total distance to the total time.

total distance= 7 + 7= 14 km

$time= \frac{distance}{speed}$

time taken to cover the first 7 km= 7/57 h

time taken to cover the second part of the journey = 7/81 h

average speed = $14/(7/57+7/81)=(14 \times 57 \times 81)/945=66.9 km/h$ 

Shortcut: 

When equal distances are covered with different speeds average speed=2 ab/(a+b) where a and b are the variable speeds in the phases.

How many joules of heat must be transferred to a 410-g aluminum pizza pan to raise its temperature from 32oC to 232oC? The speci

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 2.1 kg. The ball leaves your hand with a speed of 30 m/s. The ball has—— energy. Calculate

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

945 j

Explanation:

You have just given the ball kinetic energy, which is given by the following equation:

KE= 1⁄2 m v2 = 1⁄2 (2.1 kg)(30 m/s)2 = 945 Joules

A 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The mass is pull

sdas [7]

In spring mass system we know that angular frequency is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

f = 8.38 Hz

$\omega = 2\pi(8.38)$

$\omega = 52.65 rad/s$

now we know that speed of SHM at its extreme position is given by

$v = A\omega$

here we know that

A = 17.5 cm

$v = 0.175 (52.65)$

$v = 9.21 m/s$

so maximum speed is 9.21 m/s

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6800 rpm . When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in

tangare [24]

The angular acceleration of the blade when it's switched off is (-6800 rev/min) divided by (2.8 sec) = -2,428.6 rev/(min-sec) = -40.5 rev/sec^2 .
