<h2>The average speed for the entire trip is 47.5 m/s .</h2>

It is given that for different time span car have different speed and also the person spend $40\ min=\dfrac{40}{60}\ hrs =0.67\ hrs\ .$ in eating lunch and buying gas.

We know , average speed is total distance covered by total time taken .

Therefore , average speed , $v=\dfrac{total\ distance }{total\ times}$

$v=\dfrac{\dfrac{10}{60}\times 50+\dfrac{19}{60}\times 100+\dfrac{60}{60}\times 55}{\dfrac{10}{60}+\dfrac{10}{60}+\dfrac{60}{60}+ \dfrac{40}{60}}\\\\\\v=47.5\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Black Hole

Explanation:

A black hole is a very dense and massive stellar object, which has a field of gravity so large that not even light can escape it.

Since it does not emit light, <u>we cannot see them directly</u>, hence the name of black hole.

So in this case,<u> if the object has a mass of 8 solar masses that is enough to form a black hole</u>, and <u>also cannot be seen</u>, all of this indicates that the object we are talking about is a black hole.

It should be mentioned that although these objects do not emit light, because it cannot escape due to the immense force of gravity, black holes can be detected by a type of radiation emitted on their event horizon due to quantum effects called Hawking radiation .

Determine the angle of an incline that would yield a constant velocity, given the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10.

azamat

Answer:

$\theta=5.71^{o}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by drawing a free body diagram of the given situation (See attached picture).

From the free body diagram we can now do a sum of forces in the x and y direction. Let's start with the y-direction:

$\sum F_{y}=0$

$-W_{y}+N=0$

$N=W_{y}$

so:

$N=mgcos(\theta)$

now we can go ahead and do a sum of forces in the x-direction:

$\sum F_{x}=0$

the sum of forces in x is 0 because it's moving at a constant speed.

$-f+W_{x}=0$

$-\mu_{k}N+mg sen(\theta)=0$

$-\mu_{k}mg cos(\theta)+mg sen(\theta)=0$

so now we solve for theta. We can start by factoring mg so we get:

$mg(-\mu_{k} cos(\theta)+sen(\theta))=0$

we can divide both sides into mg so we get:

$-\mu_{k} cos(\theta)+sen(\theta)=0$

this tells us that the problem is independent of the mass of the object.

$\mu_{k} cos(\theta)=sen(\theta)$

we now divide both sides of the equation into $cos(\theta)$ so we get:

$\mu_{k}=\frac{sen(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

$\mu_{k}=tan(\theta)$

so we now take the inverse function of tan to get:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\mu_{k})$

so now we can find our angle:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(0.10)$

so

$\theta=5.71^{o}$

If the force of a golf club on a golf ball is 200 N forward, what will the force of the ball on the club be? A. 200 N forward B.

Korolek [52]

The ball should put 200 N of force towards the golfer.

Newton's Third Law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

It's the ball exerting 200 N of force towards the club as well, but the opposite reaction is that it flies away.

x rays with wavelength of 2.0nm scatter from a nacl crystal with plane spacing 0.281 nm find the scattering

ValentinkaMS [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of x-rays = 2 nm

Plane spacing, d = 0.281 nm

It is assumed to find the scattering angle for second order maxima.

For 2nd order, Bragg's law is given by :

$2d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

For second order, n = 2

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{n\lambda}{2d}\\\\\sin\theta=\dfrac{2\times 2\ nm}{2\times 0.28\ nm}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(7.14)$

Here, θ is not defined. Also, the wavelength of x-rays is more than the plane spacing. It means that it cannot produce any diffraction maximum.
