Answer:

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is simply given by the following formula:

Average Speed = Total Distance Traveled/Total Time Spent

here,

Total Time Spent = 1.1 min + 1.5 min = (2.6 min)(60 s/min) = 156 s

Now, for total distance, we have to calculate the distance traveled on tortoise and distance traveled while flying, separately. Therefore,

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (Time spent on Tortoise)(Speed of Tortoise)

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (1.1 min)(60 s/min)(0.06 m/s) = 3.96 m

Similarly,

Flying Distance = (Flying Time)(Flying Speed) = (1.5 min)(60 s/min)(11 m/s)

Flying Distance =  990 m

Since, total distance is the sum of both distances, therefore,

Total Distance = 3.96 m + 990 m = 993.96 m

Now, using the values in equation of average speed, we get:

Average Speed = 993.96 m/156 s

<u>Average Speed = 6.37 m/s</u>

topjm [15]

Iron atoms are heavier than gold atoms

Explanation:

Chart:

 Materials            Specific heat

  Gold                       0.129

  Iron                          0.45

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1K.

We can see that the more the mass of a substance, the higher the specific heat needed to raise the temperature.

Specific heat is directly proportional to the mass of substance.

It also dependent on the amount of heat supplied and the nature of the substance.

  • The mass of a body is the amount of substance it contains.
  • A heavier substance has more number of atoms in it.
  • Since iron has a higher specific it, the atoms must be heavier or more than that of gold.

The figure above shows the net force exerted on an object as a function of the position of the object. The object starts from re
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

0.06 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.0 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.09 m

Net Force (F) = 3 N

Mass (m) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.0 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.09 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

3² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.09)

9 = 0 + 0.18a

9 = 0.18a

Divide both side by 0.18

a = 9 / 0.18

a = 50 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Net Force (F) = 3 N

Acceleration (a) = 50 N

Mass (m) =?

F = ma

3 = m × 50

Divide both side by 50

m = 3 / 50

m = 0.06 Kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 0.06 Kg
