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.

A farmer lifts his hay bales into the top loft of his barn by walking his horse forward with a constant velocity of 1 ft/s. Dete
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, v_{x} = 1 ft/s

Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft

Vertical distance, y = 20 ft

Now,

Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:

20^{2} + 10^{2} = l^{2}

l^{2}= 500

Now,

x^{2} + y^{2} = 500                            (1)

Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':

2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0

x\frac{dx}{dt} = - y\frac{dy}{dt}

where

\frac{dx}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal

\frac{dy}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the vertical

v_{x} = velocity along the x-axis.

v_{y} = velocity along the y-axis

xv_{x} = -yv_{y}

v_{y} = - 10\times \frac{1}{20} = - 0.5 ft/s

|v_{y}| = 0.5\ ft/s

Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:

v_{y}^{2} = u_{y} + 2ay

(-0.5)^{2} =0 + 2ay

0.25 = 2ay

\frac{0.25}{2y} = a

a = \frac{0.25}{2\times 20} = 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

In which of the following situations would convection currents most likely occur?
poizon [28]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated and the cooler liquid (more dense) settles or sinks at the bottom whereas a hotter material (less dense) will rises to the top.

For example, ice being less dense (cooler material) will float in a lake whereas liquid water being more dense will sink at the bottom.

Thus, we can conclude that situation in which convection currents most likely occur is within the water in a lake as ice forms on the top.
