Calculate the speed of a car that covers a distance of 108km in 30 mins
Blababa [14]

The speed of the car is 60 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of an object is a scalar quantity telling "how fast" the object is moving, regardless of its direction. It can be calculated as follows:

speed=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

For the car in this problem, we have

d=108 km =1.08\cdot 10^5 m is the distance covered

t=30 min \cdot 60 =1800 s is the time taken

Subsituting into the equation, we find the speed:

speed=\frac{1.08\cdot 10^5}{1800}=60 m/s

You drive your car at a speed 40km/h for 1 hour, then slow down to 30km/h for the next 20km. How far did you drive, and what was
Bingel [31]
Speed=distance/time, rearranging gives speed*time=distance therefore the first section of the journey yielded a total distance of 40km, the second journey was stated to be 20km which was completed in (20/30)*60=40minutes. Therefore the total journey was 60km which was completed in 1hr40 minutes so the average speed was (60/1.66..)=36km/h.

A bag of sugar weighs 5.00 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is one-sixt
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Earth: 22.246 N

Moon: 3.71 N

Jupiter: 58.72 N

Explanation:

The mass of an object will remain constant in any location, its weight however, can fluctuate depending on its location. For example, a golf ball will weigh less on the moon, but its mass will not be different if it was on earth.

To calculate anything, we need to convert to standard measurements.

5.00 lbs = 2.27 kg

On earth, gravity is measured to be 9.8 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on Earth would be: (2.27 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 22.246 N

Repeated on the moon where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (1/6) = 1.633 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on the moon would be: (2.27 kg) x (1.633 m/s²) = 3.71 N

Repeated on Jupiter where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (2.64) = 25.87 m/s², so the wight in Newtons on Jupiter would be: (2.27 kg) x (25.87 m/s²) = 58.72 N
