Answer: 25.38 m/s

Explanation:

We have a straight line where the car travels a total distance D, which is divided into two segments d=10 miles:

D=d+d=2d (1)

Where d=10mi \frac{1609.34 m}{1 mi}=16093.4 m

On the other hand, we know speed is defined as:

S=\frac{d}{t} (2)

Where t is the time, which can be isolated from (2):

t=\frac{d}{S} (3)

Now, for the first segment d=16093.4 m the car has a speed S_{1}=22m/s, using equation (3):

t_{1}=\frac{d}{S_{1}} (4)

t_{1}=\frac{16093.4 m}{22m/s} (5)

t_{1}=731.518 s (6) This is the time it takes to travel the first segment

For the second segment d=16093.4 m the car has a speed S_{1}=30m/s,  hence:

t_{2}=\frac{d}{S_{2}} (7)

t_{2}=\frac{16093.4 m}{30m/s} (8)

t_{2}=536.44 s (9) This is the time it takes to travel the secons segment

Having these values we can calculate the car's average speed S_{ave}:

S_{ave}=\frac{d + d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}=\frac{2d}{t_{1} + t_{2}} (10)

S_{ave}=\frac{2(16093.4 m)}{731.518 s +536.44 s} (11)

Finally:

S_{ave}=25.38 m/s

statuscvo [17]
Gravity on the surface = 4 m/s^2
Now, the acceleration due to centripetal motion, a = v^2/R

Where,
v= 10^3 m/s, R = 10^6 m
Then,
a = (10^3)^2/(10^6) = 1 m^2/s

The net gravitational acceleration = 4-1 = 3 m/s^2

The reading on the spring scale = ma = 40*3 = 120 N

According to Dr. Ridel's Levels of Critical Thinking in Chapter 1, what level of critical thinking applies to your current statu
Karolina [17]

The levels of critical thinking classify people into six categories depending on their ability to reflect.

<h3>What is critical thinking?</h3>

This refers to the ability to analyze information, situations, etc. as well as apply, synthesize or evaluate the information learned.

<h3>What are the levels?</h3>

According to Dr. Ridel, the levels are:

  • Unreflective thinking: They do not reflect on information and lack the skills to have critical thinking.
  • Challenged thinker: This person knows critical thinking is important but has difficulties to have critical thinking.
  • Practicing thinker: This person has better-thinking abilities.
  • Advanced thinker: This person can critically think and has the skills to improve this process.
  • Master thinker: This person is in control of this process and shows superior thinking abilities.

What is the state of an object being acted upon by an unbalanced force? A. at rest B. zero speed C. in motion with a constant ve
kaheart [24]

Answer:

D. accelerated

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object always remains in its state of rest or in uniform motion until an external unbalanced force is acted upon the object. This means if an external unbalanced force is acted on the object, it will come to a non-uniform motion i.e., an accelerated motion.

Let me first get you clear that uniform motion is determined by a constant velocity and a state of rest is considered by a zero velocity or speed. But, here we have an unbalanced force acting on the object. This means the object will change its velocity and hence, it has an accelerated motion.
