Average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 40 + 20 = 60km
total time taken = 10 + 5 = 15 minutes
Average speed = 60/15 = 4km/min

Answer:

D. 4km/min

Explanation:

Since the question deals with "speed" and not "velocity", the direction does not matter.

the plane covers 40 + 20 km=60km in 10mins +5 mins=15mins

60 km - 15 mins

1min- 60÷15= 4 mins

therefore, your answer is D. 4km/min

Bond [772]

Answer:

= 925.92 N

≅ 926N

Explanation:

Pressure due to car = pressure due to applied force  

12000/18^2 = Force / 5^2

force = 12000 * 25/ 324

= 925.92 N

For equilibrium

Pressure1 = Pressure2

A1F1 = A2F2

12000*pi*(5^2) = F2 ( pi)*(18^2)

so, F2 = Applied force to lift car = 925.92 N

Pascal's principle

Pressure1 = Pressure2

F1/A1 = F2/A2 (F=force and A=area)

A1 =Pi*(0.05)²

A2 =Pi(0.18)²

F2=12000

F1 = 12000*(0.05)² / (0.18)² = 926N

Is the bike rider in the picture above demonstrating kinetic energy or potential energy? you need to explain your answer.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a function of velocity. Since the rider is moving at a certain speed, he's demonstrating kinetic energy. It can't be potential energy because potential energy encompass mgh

What are the three main ideas associated with Newton's second law of motion
nevsk [136]
The three main ideas related to Newton’s Second Law are as follows :
1.Acceleration is the result of unbalanced forces.
2.A larger force makes a proportionally larger acceleration.
3.Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.

Hope this helps!
