What is the avarage velocity of a car that travels 30 kilometers due west in 0.5 hours

Velocity is distance over time $v= \frac{d}{t}$ . If it wants it in km/h you're good to go otherwise if its m/s you need to convert km to m by multiplying 30 by 1000 and t in hours to seconds by multiplying 0.5 by 3600.

Average velocity=distance/time
average v=s/t
averagev=0.3/30 min

so use your calculator 30min into seconds(30/60)
and divide your kilometre with your time(v=distance/time

A bicycle wheel has spokes for support. Each spoke extends from the center of the wheel to the rim. Which method can be used to

hoa [83]

Since the formula for the circumference of a circle is pi x d or pi x 2r. The radius is a straight line from the center of the circle to the outer part of it, which is exactly what the spokes are to the wheel. So we take the length of the spoke, which is the radius, and use it in our equation. pi times 2 times the length of the spoke will give us our answer.

Consider a rectangular ice floe 5.00 m high, 4.00 m long, and 3.00 m wide. a) What percentage of the ice floe is below the water

artcher [175]

Answer:

(a) 92 %

(b) 6.76 %

Explanation:

length, l = 4 m, height, h = 5 m, width, w = 3 m, density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

density of ice = 920 kg/m^3, density of mercury = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Let v be the volume of ice below water surface.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of water x g = Total volume of ice block x density

of ice x g

v x 1000 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.92

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.92 x 100 = 92 %

(b) Let v be the volume of ice below the mercury.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of mercury x g = Total volume of ice block x

density of ice x g

v x 13600 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.0676

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.0676 x 100 = 6.76 %

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 3.37 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The tangential speed of the tack is 8.19 m/s.

Explanation:

The wheel rotates 3.37 times a second that means wheel complete 3.37 revolutions in a second. Therefore, the angular speed ω of the wheel is given as follows:

$\omega =3.37rev/s \times(\frac{2\pi rad}{1s} )\\\\=21.174rad/s$

Use the relation of angular speed with tangential speed to find the tangential speed of the tack.

The tangential speed v of the tack is given by following expression

v = ω r

Here, r is the distance to the tack from axis of rotation.

Substitute 21.174 rad/s for ω, and 0.387 m for r in the above equation to solve for v.

v = 21.174 × 0.387

v = 8.19m/s

Thus, The tangential speed of the tack is 8.19 m/s.

5. Two charged particles are separated by a distance of 12 meters. The Coulomb force between them is 20 N. What will the Coulomb

Leni [432]

Answer:

A) 80 N

Explanation:

The closer the particles get, the stronger the Coulomb force, which elongates choices C and D. The Coulomb force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. If the distance is cut in half, the force is multiplied by the reciprocal of (1/2)^2, which is 4. Multiplying it out, 20 times 4 is 80 N.

John and Caroline go out for a walk one day. This graph represents their distance from home.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have velocity of a body = Change in position/ Time.

Considering first portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 0 = 30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = 30/2700 = 0.011 m/s

Considering second portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 30 = 0 m

Time = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

Velocity = 0/1800 = 0 m/s

Considering third portion of graph,

Change in position = 0 - 30 = -30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = -30/2700 = -0.011 m/s

So firstly they walked in one direction(positive direction), then they were still(velocity is zero), then they walked in the opposite direction( velocity is negative).

Option C is the correct answer.
