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

Skater 1 has a mass of 105.0 kg and a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the left. He
mart [117]

The final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity can be defined as the ratio of the displacement and time of a body.

To calculate the final velocity of Skater 1 we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • mu+MU = mv+MV............ Equation 1

Where:

  • m = mass of the first skater
  • M = mass of the second skater
  • u = initial velocity of the first skater
  • U = initial velocity of the second skater
  • v = final velocity of the first skater
  • V = final velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation.

  • v = (mu+MU-MV)/m................ Equation 2

Note: Let left direction represent negative and right direction represent positive.

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 105 kg
  • u = -2 m/s
  • M = 71 kg
  • U = 5 m/s
  • V = -3.4 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • v = [(105×(-2))+(71×5)-(71×(-3.4))]/105
  • v = (-210+355+241.4)/105
  • v = 386.4/105
  • v = 3.68 m/s
  • v ≈ 3.7 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

timama [110]

Answer:

90 meters

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 30 m/s

t = 6 s

Find:

x

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

x = 0 + ½ (30 + 0)(6)

x = 90

The car travels 90 meters.

1<br> Verify the identity. Show your work.<br><br> cot θ ∙ sec θ = csc θ
Fittoniya [83]
To verify the identity, we can make use of the basic trigonometric identities:
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ 
sec θ = 1 / cos <span>θ
csc </span>θ = 1 / sin θ<span>

Using these identities:
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = (cos θ / sin θ ) (<span> 1 / cos </span><span>θ)
</span>
We can cancel out cos <span>θ, leaving us with
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = 1 / sin θ
cot θ ∙ sec θ = = csc <span>θ</span>
