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>

Effect of impurities and temperature to surface tension​
oksano4ka [1.4K]
In general, surface tension decreases when temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with an increase of molecular thermal activity. The influence of the surrounding environment is due to the adhesive action of liquid molecules that they have at the interface.

In an experiment in space, one proton is held fixed and another proton is released from rest a distance of 1.00 mm away. part a
mihalych1998 [28]
<span>We can use Coulomb's law to find the force F acting on the proton that is released. F = k x Q1 x Q2 / r^2 k = 9 x 10^9 Q1 is the charge on one proton which is 1.6 x 10^{-19} C Q2 is the same charge on the other proton r is the distance between the protons F = (9x10^9) x (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) x (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) / (10^{-3})^2 F = 2.304 x 10^{-22} N We can use the force to find the acceleration. F = ma a = F / m a = (2.304 x 10^{-22} N) / (1.67 x 10^{-27} kg) a = 1.38 x 10^5 m/s^2 The initial acceleration of the proton is 1.38 x 10^5 m/s^2</span>

What is the mass moment of inertia of a 20kg sphere with a radius of 0.2m about a point on the sphere's perimeter
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).

The moment  of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.

By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is  I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2

I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2

12. The diameter of a circle is 2.42m. Calculate its<br>area in proper significant figure​
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

A = 4.6 [m²]

Explanation:

The area of a circle can be calculated by means of the following equation.

A=\frac{\pi }{4} *D^{2}

where:

A = area [m²]

D = diameter = 2.42 [m]

Now replacing:

A=\frac{\pi }{4} *(2.42)^{2} \\A = 4.6 [m^{2} ]
