You drive to the city at an average speed of 40 km/h and return at an average speed of 60 km/h. Find your average speed for the

entire trip? Explain why the answer is not 50 km/h.

Well, let's see:

If you live 'D' kilometers from the city, and you go and return by the same route, then

-- The time it takes you to reach the city, at 40 km/h, is  D/40  hours.

-- The time it takes you to return, at 60 km/h, is    D/60.

-- The total distance you cover is  2D, and the total driving time is

                        (D/40) + (D/60)

                   =  (3D/120)  +  (2D/120)

                   =        5D/120  =  D/24

-- Your average speed for the entire trip is

                         (distance covered)  /  (time to cover the distance)

                   =            ( 2D )   /   ( D/24 )

                   =              48 km/hr.

Find the range of a projectile launched at an angle of 30° with an initial velocity of 20m/s.​
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

<em>The range is 35.35 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

It's the type of motion that experiences an object projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.

Being vo the initial speed of the object, θ the initial launch angle, and g=9.8m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity, then the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object (also called Range) is:

\displaystyle d={\frac  {v_o^{2}\sin(2\theta )}{g}}

The projectile was launched at an angle of θ=30° with an initial speed vo=20 m/s. Calculating the range:

\displaystyle d={\frac  {20^{2}\sin(2\cdot 30^\circ )}{9.8}}

\displaystyle d={\frac  {400\sin(60^\circ )}{9.8}}

d=35.35\ m

The range is 35.35 m

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

The processes are described on the image attached below. The isobaric process consists of an horizontal line, the adiabatic expansion is described by a polytropic curve:

P_{2} \cdot V_{2}^{\gamma} = P_{3} \cdot V_{3}^{\gamma}

Where:

\gamma = \frac{c_{p}}{c_{v}}

\gamma = 1 + \frac{R}{c_{v}}

Final pressure is:

P_{3} = P_{2}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{3}}  \right)^{\gamma}

P_{3} = P_{o}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\gamma}

P_{3} = \frac{P_{o}}{2^{\gamma}}
