Answer:

Her average speed was 40 km/h.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average speed (a.s) is calculated as the traveled distance divided by the time it took to cover that distance:

a.s = d/t

Where:

d = traveled distance.

t = time.

In this case, the odometer reading of the car increased by 12.0 km, which means that the distance traveled is 12.0 km. The time it took the student to cover that distance is 18.0 min (18.0 min · 1 h/60 min = 0.3 h) . Then the average speed will be:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 12.0 km/ 0.3 h

a.s = 40 km/h

Her average speed was 40 km/h.

Explanation A 5000 kg rocket is at rest in deep space. The rocket burns fuel pushing 10kg of exhaust gases rearward at 4000 m/s.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

F = 4000 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of rocket (M)= 5000 Kg

10 Kg gas burns at speed (m)= 4000 m/s

time = 10 s

average force = ?

at the end the rocket is at rest

by conservation of momentum

 M v + m v' = 0

 5000 x v - 10 x 4000 = 0

 5000 v = 40000

    v = 8 m/s

speed of rocket = 8 m/s

now,

we know

change in momentum = F x Δ t

F = \dfrac{m(v_i-v_f)}{\Delta t}

F = \dfrac{5000(8-0)}{10}

      F = 4000 N

Hence, the average force applied to the rocket is equal to F = 4000 N
