A train travels 120 km at a speed of 60 km/h, makes a stop for 0.5 h, and then travels the next 180 km at a speed of 90 km/h. Wh

<u>The average speed</u> of the train for the trip is equal to 66.67\frac{km}{h}

Why?

To calculate the average speed, we need to divide the trip into three moments:

- First moment, the train traveled 120 km at a speed of 60 km/h.

- Second moment, the train stopped for 0.5 hours, meaning that the train did not travel for that time (traveled distance equal to 0 km).

- Third moment, the train traveled 180 km at a speed of 90 km/h.

We can use the following formula to calculate the average speed:

AverageSpeed=\frac{TotalDistance}{TotalTime}

So, for our problem we have:

AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance{3}}{time_{1}+time_{2}+time_{3}}

From the statement, we know that:

distance_{1}=120km\\speed_{1}=60\frac{km}{h}\\\\distance_{2}=0km\\time_{2}=0.5hours\\\\distance_{3}=180km\\speed_{1}=90\frac{km}{h}\\

Calculating the times, we have:

speed=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\time=\frac{distance}{speed}

time_{1}=\frac{distance_{1}}{speed_{1}}=\frac{120km}{60\frac{km}{h}}=2hours

time_{3}=\frac{distance_{3}}{speed_{3}}=\frac{180km}{90\frac{km}{h}}=2hours

Then, substituting the times into the main equation, we have:

AverageSpeed=\frac{120km+0km+180km}{2hours+0.5hours+2hours}=\frac{300km}{4.5hours}=66.67\frac{km}{h}

Hence, we have that <u>the average speed</u> of the train for the trip is equal to 66.67\frac{km}{h}

Have a nice day!

an op amp in unity gain configuration (buffer) with slew rate of 5v/us is used to amplify a sinusoidal signal with a frequency o
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The maximum amplitude (V_{max}) will be 7.96 V.

Explanation:

We know, for distortion free operation, the slew rate (S) of an OPAMP is written as

S = 2 \pi f V_{max}

where 'f' is the highest frequency signal.

Therefore, from the above equation we can write,

&&5 \frac{V}{\mu s} = 2 \pi 100 kHz \times V_{max}\\&or,& V_{max} = \frac{5V}{10^{-6} s \times 2 \pi 100 \times 10^{3} Hz}\\&or,& V_{max} = \frac{5}{2 \pi \times 10^{-1}} V = 7.96 V

Using hooke's law find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when 4newton force is applied to it
Kay [80]

<u>Answer:</u>

2N/cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

F=kx

where, F is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,

k is the spring constant; and

x is the distance the spring is stretched.

Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant  k to get:

F=kx

4=k(2)

k=\frac{4}{2}

k=2

Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.

Select which geologic events will have an immediate impact on the landscape. Choose three (3).
alexgriva [62]

Answer: A, B, and D,

C is incorrect because continental drift takes several centuries to move the tectonic plates witch is not an immediate impact leaving you with A,B, and D.
