An airplane flies 40km directly south in 10 minutes and 20 km directly east in five minutes, its average speed is:

2 answers:

8 0

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

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!! 20 PTS!!!

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

1. Reflection

2. travel from one medium to another

3. Same waves to travel in opposite direction.

Explanation:

1. When a wave strikes a solid barrier, it bounces back in the same medium. This wave behavior of bouncing back is known as reflection. Its like a basketball hitting a backboard. The ball bounces back at the same angle as it was incident. ∠i = ∠r

2. For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must travel from one medium to another. When light travels from through mediums of different optical densities, it bends. The wave bends away normal when it enters from denser medium to rarer medium. The wave bends towards the normal when it enters from rarer to denser medium. The angle of refraction and angle of incidence are related by Snell's law.

$\frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)} = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}$

3. The formation of standing wave requires two same waves to travel in the opposite direction and interfere. The incident wave and reflected wave when interfere, form standing waves. There waves are also resonances or harmonics. A standing wave oscillates at one place and does not transfers any energy.

Speed=100m/sec Frequency=10 Hz Wavelength=?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Wavelength = 10 m

Explanation:

Given:

Speed = 100 m $s^{-1}$

Frequency = 10 Hz = 10 $s^{-1}$

To find : Wavelength = ?

We know that the relationship between wavelength λ, frequency f and speed v is given by the equation

v = fλ

Therefore wavelength λ = v/f

= 100 m $s^{-1}$ / 10 m $s^{-1}$

= 10 m

Hence wavelength = 10 m

needhelpp101 Why is the gravitational potential energy of an object 1 meter above the moon’s surface less than its potential ene

Vlad1618 [11]

If you remember the formula for potential energy,
then this question is a piece-o-cake.

Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height) .

-- The object's mass is the same everywhere.
-- You said that the height is the same both times.
-- How about the acceleration of gravity ?

Compared to gravity on Earth, it's only 16.5 percent as much on the Moon.
So naturally, from the formula, you'd expect the Potential Energy to be less
on the Moon.
