In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.32 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, b

ecause she hikes for 5.21 km with an average velocity of 3.49 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.687 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?

Answer:

distance in east is 1273.78 m

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 1.32 m/s west =

hike = 5.21 km = 5.21 × 10³ m

average velocity = 3.49 m/s west

average velocity = 0.687 m/s east

to find out

distance in east

solution

we consider here distance in east  is = x

so distance from starting point = 5.21 × 10³ - x        ...................1

and we can say time required to reach end

time required = distance / speed

time required = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{1.32}    ................2

and

time required for 6.44 km west

time required = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{3.49}    ................3

and time required for distance x

time required = \frac{x}{0.687}    ................4

so from equation 2 , 3 and 4

\frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{1.32} = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{3.49}  + \frac{x}{0.687}

x = 1273.78 m

so distance in east is 1273.78 m

Naturally occurring element x exists in three isotopic forms: x-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), x-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abund
Bond [772]

To solve for the weighted average atomic weight of X, all we have to do is to calculate for the contribution of each isotope. The contribution of each isotope on the atomic weight of x is calculated by multiplying their respective atomic weights with the abundance, therefore:

X – 28 = 27.977 amu * (92.23 / 100)

X – 28 = 25.803 amu

 

X – 29 = 28.976 amu * (4.67 / 100)

X – 29 = 1.353 amu

 

X – 30 = 29.974 amu * (3.10 / 100)

X – 30 = 0.929 amu

 

Hence:

X = X – 28 + X – 29 + X – 30

X = 25.803 amu + 1.353 amu + 0.929 amu

<span>X = 28.085 amu</span>

Calculate the weight of a 1 kg mass at earth's surface. The mass of the of the Earth's surface if the mass of the earth is 6 x 1
yuradex [85]

Answer:

9.8N

Explanation:

Here we can get gravitational acceleration according to the place where object is placed by bellow equation

g = GM/R²

g - Gravitational Acceleration

G - Gravitational constant (6.67×10-11)

R - Distance ( Radius )

g = 6.67 × 10-11 × 1024 /(6.37×106)²

g = 9.8 m/s²

There for

Weight = Mass × Gravitational acceleration

= 1×9.8

= 9.8 N

If 478 watts of power are used in 14 seconds,how much work was done
zepelin [54]

Answer:

6692J

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done.

So,

    Power  = \frac{workdone}{time }  

  Work done  = Power x time

Given parameters:

Power  = 478watts

Time  = 14s

So;

 Work done  = 478 x 14  = 6692J
