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.

You drop a rock from rest from the top of a tall building.1)how far has the rock fallen in 2.60 s?
Bess [88]
Answer:
distance = 33.124 meters

Explanation:
To solve this question, we will use one of the equations of motion which is:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
where:
s is the distance that we want to get
u is the initial velocity = 0
a is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
t is the time = 2.6 sec

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the distance as follows:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
s = (0)(2.6) + 0.5(9.8)(2.6)^2
s = 33.124 meters

Hope this helps :)

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s

A steel cable has a cross-sectional area 4.49 × 10^-3 m^2 and is kept under a tension of 2.96 × 10^4 N. The density of steel is
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.

Explanation:

let T = 2.96×10^4 N be the tension in in the steel cable, ρ  = 7860 kg/m^3 is the density of the steel and A = 4.49×10^-3 m^2 be the cross-sectional area of the cable.

then, if V is the volume of the cable:

ρ = m/V

m = ρ×V

but V = A×L , where L is the length of the cable.

m = ρ×(A×L)

m/L = ρ×A

then the speed of the wave in the cable is given by:

v = √(T×L/m)

  = √(T/A×ρ)

  = √[2.96×10^4/(4.49×10^-3×7860)]

  = 25.5 m/s

Therefore, the transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.

A 3858 N piano is to be pushed up a(n) 3.49 m frictionless plank that makes an angle of 31.6 ◦ with the horizontal. Calculate th
uranmaximum [27]
The work done will be equal to the potential energy of the piano at the final position

P.E=m.g.h

.consider the plank the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed with the ground
.let x be the angle with the ground=31.6°
.h be the side opposite to the angle x (h is the final height of the piano)
.let L be the length of the plank

sinx=opposite side / hypotenuse
= h/L

then h=L.sinx=3.49×sin31.6°=0.638m

weight w=m.g
m=w/g=3858/10=385.8kg

Consider Gravity g=10m/s2

then P.E.=m.g.h=385.8kg×10×0.638=2461.404J

then Work W=P.E.=2451.404J
