A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 53.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di

rection at another constant speed. the average velocity for the entire trip is 26.5 mi/h. (a) what is the constant speed with which the car moved during the second distance d?

A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially. Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours. Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours. We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour          

                                         = Total distance traveled/ total time taken                  

                                         = \frac{2d}{\frac{d}{53}+\frac{d}{x}} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{53}+\frac{1}{x} }  = \frac{106x}{x+53}

                              26.5 = \frac{106x}{x+53} \\ \\ 79.5 x = 1404.5\\ \\ x = 17.67 miles/hour

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time.

Explanation:

The formula for speed is speed = distance ÷ time. To work out what the units are for speed, you need to know the units for distance and time.

<span>During adverse weather conditions such as rain or fog, drivers should take action accordingly by turning on their headlights, slowing down and increasing following distance. Adverse weather means that you are driving in difficult and dangerous conditions. Increasing following distance will help you to maintain safe driving and avoid tailgating. </span>
