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

Calculate the nuclear binding energy per nucleon for 136^Ba if its nuclear mass is 135.905 amu.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

1.312 x 10⁻¹² J/nucleon

Explanation:

mass of ¹³⁶Ba = 135.905 amu

¹³⁶Ba contain 56 proton and 80 neutron

mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

mass of neutron = 1.00867 amu

mass of ¹³⁶Ba = 56 x  1.00728 amu + 80 x 1.00867 amu

                      = 137.10128 amu

mass defect = 137.10128 - 135.905

                    = 1.19628 amu

mass defect = 1.19628 x 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

                     = 1.9858 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

binding energy,

E = mass defect x c²

E = 1.9858 x 10⁻²⁷ x (3 x 10⁸)²

E = 17.87 x 10⁻¹¹ J/atom

now,

binding energy per nucleon =\dfrac{17.87\times 10^{-11}}{136}

                                              = 0.1312 x 10⁻¹¹ J/nucleon

                                              = 1.312 x 10⁻¹² J/nucleon

To calculate lobe lift, you need to know the _______ diameter and the lobe height
svetoff [14.1K]
The answer is the diameter of the cam shaft.

This is used to compute for the area of the circle so you can multiply it with the rocker ratio to get maximum amount of weight the valve can lift.

Predict: why momentum is a property of moving objects, but not of stationary objects
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Question

why momentum is a property of moving objects, but not of stationary objects?

Answer:

Hi, There!-

Momentum is a property of a moving object because velocity is needed to get the momentum. Only a moving object has velocity.

Hope this Helps!

What two bodily functions are increased by a warm up
drek231 [11]

1) Blood flow: increases during warming improving muscle and joint elasticity. This decreases the possibility of having an injury.


2) Body temperature: This causes the cellular metabolism to increase. It also causes vasodilatation that allows a greater supply of oxygen and nutrients.
