It takes 15 min to drive 6.0 mi in a straight line to the local hospital. It takes 10 min to go the last 3.0 mi, 2.0 min to go t

he last mile, and only 30 s (0.50 min) to go the last 0.50 mi. What is the average speed of the trip? Take the positive xx ‑direction to be from the starting point toward the hospital.

Answer:

36.87 km/h

Explanation:

Convert all the units in SI system

1 mile = 1609.34 m

d1 = 6 mi = 9656.04 m

t1 = 15 min = 15 x 60 = 900 s

d2 = 3 mi = 4828.02 m

t2 = 10 min = 10 x 60 = 600 s

d3 = 1 mi = 1609.34 m

t3 = 2 min = 2 x 60 = 120 s

d4 = 0.5 mi = 804.67 m

t4 = 0.5 min = 0.5 x 60 = 30 s

Total distance, d = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4

d = 9656.04 + 4828.02 +  1609.34 + 804.67 = 16898.07 m = 16.898 km

total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

t = 900 + 600 + 120 + 30 = 1650 s = 0.4583 h

The ratio of the total distance covered to the total time taken is called average speed.

Average speed = 16.898 / 0.4583 = 36.87 km/h

The inductance of a closely packed coil of 560 turns is 8.9 mH. Calculate the magnetic flux through the coil when the current is
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

0.11\times 10^{-6}weber

Explanation:

We have given number of turns N = 560

Inductance L = 8.9 mH

Current through the coil = 7 mA

Inductance of the coil is given as L=\frac{N\Phi }{I}

Where N  is number of turns I is current and \Phi is flux

So \Phi =\frac{LI}{N}=\frac{8.9\times 10^{-3}\times 7\times 10^{-3}}{560}=0.11\times 10^{-6}weber

The bottleneck event of the plants in an area results in secondary succession.

<h2>What is bottleneck event?</h2>

A bottleneck is an event that drastically reduces the population size of an organism. The bottleneck may be caused by various events, such as an environmental disaster, the hunting or habitat destruction that results in the deaths of organisms.

<h3>Secondary succession</h3>

Secondary succession is a type of ecological succession in which plants and animals recolonize a habitat after a major disturbance such as a devastating flood, wildfire, landslide, lava flow, or human activity e.g., farming or road or building construction.
