You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 72 km/h and the other half at 98 km/h. On the way back

you travel half the distance at 72 km/h and the other half at 98 km/h. What is your average speed (a) from San Antonio to Houston, (b) from Houston back to San Antonio, and (c) for the entire trip?

Answer: a. 85km/hr b.82.3km/hr

c. 84km/hr

Explanation: first let take the total time from San Antonio to Houston to be 2hr.

Half time 1hr was covered with speed of 72km/hr

Distance = speed*time=72km/hr *1hr

=72km

So too with the second half of 1hr covered with speed of 98km/hr

Distance = 98km

Total distance from Houston to San Antonio is 98+72 =170km

a. Average speed from San Antonio to Houston is

S1 =170/2

=85km/hr

b.half distance from Houston to San Antonio which is 170km/2

= 85km was covered with speed of 72km/hr first half, so time

t = dist/speed

t = 85/72 = 1hr 12 mins

Remaining 85 km covered with a speed of 98km/hr

Time = 85/98 = 0.88*60min

= 52 mins

Total time = 1hr +12mins +52mins

=2hr4mins= 124/60 hr

So average speed = distance/time

=170/124/60

Using reciprocal law

Average speed S2= 170*60/124

= 82.3km/hr

C. Average speed to and fro(entire tripe)

= (85+82.3)/2

=84km/hr

meriva

Answer:

300 Nm ; 300 J

Explanation:

Given that:

Force (F) = 20 N

Distance (d) = 15 m

The kinetic energy (Workdone) = Force * Distance

Kinetic Energy = 20N * 15m

Kinetic Energy = 300Nm

. A huge pile of leaves was wrapped in a tarp in the middle of a lawn. The wrapped leaves weigh 580 newtons. The coefficient of
Rina8888 [55]

The force required is 319 N

Explanation:

The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:

F_f = \mu W

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

W is the weight of the object

Therefore, in order to put the object in motion, the force applied must be greater than this value.

For the pile of leaves in this problem, we have:

\mu = 0.55 (coefficient of friction)

W=580 N (weight of the leaves)

Substituting, we find:

F=(0.55)(580)=319 N
