Answer:

The driver's average velocity is 82.35 km/h.

Explanation:

Given:

The motion of the driver can be divided into 3 parts:

i. Displacement of the driver in 1.5 hours = 135 km

ii. Rest for 45 minutes.

iii. Displacement in next 2 hours = 215 km

The direction of motion remains same (east).

Now, total displacement of the driver is, $D_{Total}=135+215=350$ km.

Rest time is 45 minutes. Converting it to hours, we need to use the conversion factor $1\textrm{ min} = \frac{1}{60}$ hour.

So, 45 minutes in hours is equal to $\frac{45}{60}=0.75$ hours.

Now, total time taken for the complete journey is, $\Delta t=1.5+\frac{45}{60}+2=1.5+0.75+2=4.25\textrm{ h}$

Average velocity is given as:

$v_{avg}=\frac{\textrm{Total displacement}}{Total time}=\frac{350}{4.25}=82.35\textrm{ km/h}$

Therefore, the driver's average velocity is 82.35 km/h

kherson [118]

Answer:

$d=58m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Speed $U=12m/s$

Time $T=5.6s$

Angle $\theta=30$

Generally the Newton's equation for motion is mathematically given by

$d=d'+ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$d=12cos30*5.6$

$d=58m$

A vector has an x-component

NeTakaya

Answer:

34.45m

Explanation:

Magnitude of a vector is equal to the square root of sum of squares of x & y vectors.

Magnitude = $\sqrt({x^2} + {y^2})$

= $\sqrt({19.5^2} + {28.4^2})$

=34.45m

If two objects at different temperatures are in contact with each other, what happens to their temperatures?

miv72 [106K]

In that case, heat energy flows from the warmer object to the cooler one.
As heat flows from one to the other, the temperature of the warmer object
falls, and the temperature of the cooler object rises. When the temperatures
are equal, the flow of heat energy from one to the other stops.

A 1.0-kg block and a 2.0-kg block are pressed together on a horizontal frictionless surface with a compressed very light spring

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

4. both blocks will both have the same amount of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When the blocks are released free from the compression force, the spring exerts equal and opposite force on each block but the block with heavier (double) mass will attain slower ( half ) speed as compared to the lighter block according to the law of inertia. This works in synchronization to energy conservation.

Spring force is given as:

$F=k.\Delta x$
