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

A vehicle moving with a uniform acceleration of 2 m/s2 has

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

a) 6 m/s

b) 14 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.

a) a = Δv / Δt

2 m/s² = (v − 4 m/s) / 1 s

v = 6 m/s

b) a = Δv / Δt

2 m/s² = (v − 4 m/s) / 5 s

v = 14 m/s

(a) Calculate the number of free electrons per cubic meter for gold assuming that there are 1.5 free electrons per gold atom. Th

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Part A:

$n=8.85*10^{28}m^{-3}$

Part B:

$Electron Mobility=3.03*10^{-3} m^2/V$

Explanation:

Part A:

To calculate the number of free electrons n we use the following formula::

n=1.5N-Au

Where N-Au is number of gold atoms per cubic meter

$N-Au=\frac{Density*Avogadro Number}{atomic weight}$

$Density = 19.32g/cm^3$

$Avogadro Number=6.02*10^{23} atoms/mol$

$Atomic weight=196.97g/mol$

So:

$n=1.5*\frac{Density*Avogadro Number}{atomic weight}$

$n=1.5*\frac{19.32*6.02*10^{23}}{196.97}$

$n=8.85*10^{28}m^{-3}$

Part B:

$Electron Mobility=\frac{Elec-conductivity}{n * charge on electron}$

n is calculated above which is 8.85*10^{28}m^{-3}

Charge on electron=1.602*10^{-19}

Elec- Conductivity= 4.3*10^{7}

$Electron Mobility=\frac{4.3*10^{7}}{ 8.85*10^{28} * 1.602*10^{-19}}$

$Electron Mobility=3.03*10^{-3} m^2/V$
