It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire fam

ily is up north at your Traverse City cottage (240 miles from your home) and you plan on waking up early Saturday morning to drive home and set up for the party. You wake up at 10:00 am to head out but to your surprise your parents decide on leaving at 11:00 am instead of 1:00 pm like they originally planned. Your father ALWAYS drives 60 miles per hour on the expressway and it will take you about 2 hours to set up for the party. How fast must you drive in order to get home in enough time to make the surprise a success? Show your work.

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.

?/1 Jorge traveled 5 miles north to school. He then traveled 3 miles west to the store. Then he left the store and traveled 5 mi
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

He's 3 miles west of school.

Explanation:

He went 5 miles up and 5 miles down which means that he really didn't go up or down.  In between that, he went 3 miles west so if the 5 milers don't count, this puts him at 3 miles west of school.

The kinetic energy of a ball with the mass of 0.5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s is what
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

25J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

Mass = m= 0.5kg

Velocity = v = 10m/s

K. E = 1/2 x 0.5 x 10 x 10

K. E = 0.5 x 5 x 10

K. E = 2.5 x 10

K. E = 25 J

The S. I unit of energy is joules with symbol J

1. Is there a relationship between the volume of water displaced and the total volume of the block that has anything to do with
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The volume of the block is equal to the volume of water displaced by the block.

Explanation:

Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a given object (in this case the block). When an object such as the block is immersed in water, it displaces its own volume of water. This volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the block. Hence we can write;

Final Volume of water - Initial Volume of water= Water Displaced = Volume of the block

Recall that the density of a body is given by;

Density= mass/volume

If we obtain the volume of the block by measuring the volume of water displaced by the block, then we weigh the block using a weighing balance, we can obtain the density of the block easily from the relationship shown above.
