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

A 0.325 g wire is stretched between two points 57.7 cm apart. The tension in the wire is 650 N. Find the frequency of first harm
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

f = 931.1 Hz

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the wire, m = 0.325 g

Length of the stretch, L = 57.7 cm = 0.577 m

Tension in the wire, T = 650 N

Frequency for the first harmonic = ?

we know,

v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

μ is the mass per unit length

μ = 0.325 x 10⁻³/ 0.577

μ = 0.563 x 10⁻³ Kg/m

now,

v =\sqrt{\dfrac{650}{0.563\times 10^{-3}}}

   v = 1074.49 m/s

The wire is fixed at both ends. Nodes occur at fixed ends.

For First harmonic when there is a node at each end and the longest possible wavelength will have condition

          λ=2 L

          λ=2 x 0.577 = 1.154 m

we now,

       v = f λ

      f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

      f = \dfrac{1074.49}{1.154}

             f = 931.1 Hz

The frequency for first harmonic is equal to f = 931.1 Hz

Radiation transfers thermal energy through_________. Which accurately complete the statement waves direct contact of particles i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

waves

Explanation:

There are three major ways in which heat or thermal energy is transferred namely: conduction, convection and radiation. Please find the description of each below;

- Conduction is the method of heat transfer which involves a physical contact between the substances involved.

- Convection, on the contrary, occurs via a liquid medium

- RADIATION is a method of heat transfer which involves neither physical contact or liquid medium (matter) but occurs through WAVES e.g electromagnetic waves. For example, the sun transfers heat to the Earth via RADIATION.

The total amount of energy contained in an object
Elenna [48]

The total amount of energy stored in the particles of an object is called its internal energy. The internal energy of an object is made up of the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the particles and the potential energy due to the interactive forces among the particles.
