A general contractor drives 5 miles to the hardware store in 10 minutes. He shops for needed tools for 30 minutes, then drives t
Alex17521 [72]

Given parameters:

Distance to hardware shop = 5 miles

Time to reach hardware shop = 10 minutes

Time spent at the shop = 30 minutes

Average speed to customer home = 45 mph

Time taken for the travel = 20 minutes

Unknown:

Average speed of the contractor = ?

Solution:

 Average speed is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

   Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time taken}  

     total distance = distance to hardware shop + distance to customer's home

We do not know the distance to customer's home but we have been given the speed and time, so we can find the distance.

  Distance  = speed x time

 Convert the time to hrs and solve;  

                       60 minutes  = 1 hr

                       20 minutes  = \frac{20}{60} hr  = \frac{1}{3} hr

So, Distance  = 45mph x \frac{1}{3} hr   = 15miles

Now;

   Total distance  = 5 + 15 = 20miles

Total time = time to reach hardware shop + time to reach customer's house

                  = 10 + 20

                  = 30 minutes

Convert the time from minutes to hrs;

                 60 minutes  = 1hr

                 30 minutes  = \frac{30}{60}   = 0.5hr

So;

    Average speed  = \frac{20}{0.5} = 40mph

The average speed is 40mph

A 2.0 kg mass weighs 10 Newtons on planet X. what is the acceleration due to gravity on planet X? Show the work.
KengaRu [80]

Answer: The gravitational acceleration on planet X is 5 N/kg

On Earth (with the gravitational accelartion g_E) the mass of 2kg will correspond to

F_E = m\cdot g_E = 2.0 \mbox{kg}\cdot 9.8 \frac{N}{kg} = 19.6 N

On planet X we are told the same measure is only 10N. Since there is a proportional relationship between g and F, we can calculate g_X:

\frac{F_E}{g_E}=\frac{F_X}{g_X} \implies\\g_x = \frac{g_E\cdot F_X}{F_E}=\frac{9.8 N/kg \cdot 10 N }{19.6N}=5 \frac{N}{kg}

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2

increase the intensity by factor of 9

    I₁ = I₀

    I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}

\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2

(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}

      A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D
