The average speed during any time interval is equal to the total distance of travel divided by the total time. Let d represent t

he distance between A and B. Let t1 be the time for which she has the higher speed of 5.15 m/s = d/t1. Let t2 represent the longer time for the return trip at 2.80 m/s =d/t2. Then the times are t1 = d/5.15 5.15 m/s and t2 = d/2.80 2.8 m/s. The average speed vavg is given by the following equation. vavg = Total distance/Total time = d + d/t1 + t2.

Answer:

Average speed = 3.63 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed during any time interval is equal to the total distance travelled divided by the total time.

That is,

Average speed = distance/ time

Let d represent the distance between A and B.

Let t1 be the time for which she has the higher speed of 5.15 m/s. Therefore,

5.15 = d/t1.

Make d the subject of formula

d = 5.15t1

Let t2 represent the longer time for the return trip at 2.80 m/s . That is,

2.80 = d/t2.

Then the times are t1 = d/5.15 5 and

t2 = d/2.80.

The average speed vavg is given by the following equation.

avg speed = Total distance/Total time

Avg speed = d + d/t1 + t2

Where

Total distance = 2d

Total time = t1 + t2

Total time = d/5.15 + d/2.80

Total time = (2.8d + 5.15d)/14.42

Total time = 7.95d/14.42

Total time = 0.55d

Substitute total distance and time into the formula above.

Avg speed = 2d / 0.55d

Avg Speed = 3.63 m/s

The roller coaster is designed according to safety regulations that prohibit the speed of the car from exceeding 20 m/s. find th

hram777 [196]

maximum allowed value of the speed in roller coaster is given as

$v = 20 m/s$

now from kinematics we can say

$v^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s$

here initial speed will be

$v_i = 0$

acceleration is due to gravity

$a = 9.8 m/s^2$

now we can use this to find the height

$20^2 - 0^2 = 2 * 9.8* h$

$400 = 19.6 *h$

$h = 20.4 m$

so maximum allowed height will be 20.4 m

A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a current of 51

nirvana33 [79]

The resistance of the piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where
$\rho = 1.68 \cdot 10^{-8}\Omega m$ is the resistivity of the copper
$L=5.1 cm=0.051 m$ is the length of the piece of wire
$A=0.13 cm^2 = 0.13 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2$ is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}=6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega$

Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
$V=IR=(51 A)(6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega )=3.4 \cdot 10^{-3} V$

Calculate earth's mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the north pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the mean radius of the earth at

valentinak56 [21]

Answer: $M = 5.98\times 10^{24} kg$

Explanation:

We know that force acting on an object due to Earth's gravity on the surface is given by:

$mg = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}\\ \Rightarrow g = \frac{GM}{r^2}$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, r would be radius of Earth, M is the mass of Earth and G is the gravitational constant.

It is given that at pole, g = 9.830 m/s² and r = 6371 km = 6371 × 10³ m

$\Rightarrow M = \frac{g\times r^2}{G}$

$M = \frac{9.830 m/s^2 \times (6371 \times 10^3 m )^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}}$

$\Rightarrow M = 5.98\times 10^{24} kg$

Hence, Earth's mass is $5.98\times 10^{24} kg$
