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

What is the change in velocity of a 22-kg object that experiences a force of 15 N for

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Force = mass × acceleration

Acceleration:

${ \tt{15 = (22 \times a)}} \\ { \tt{a = \frac{15}{22} \: {ms}^{ - 2} }}$

From first Newton's equation of motion:

${ \bf{v = u + at}}$

Change = v - u:

${ \tt{v - u = (a \times t)}} \\ { \tt{v - u = ( \frac{15}{22} \times 1.2) }} \\ { \tt{v - u = 0.82 \: {ms}^{ - 2} }}$

Four heavy elements (A, B, C, and D) will fission when bombarded by neutrons. In addition to fissioning into two smaller element

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Element C will be best for a nuclear fission reaction

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus of a heavy atom by bombarding it with a nuclear particle. The reaction leads to the the atom splitting into two smaller elements and a huge amount of energy is liberated in the process. For the reaction to be continuous in a chain reaction, the best choice of element to use as fuel for the reaction should be the element whose nucleus also liberates a neutron particle after fission. The neutron that is given off by other atoms in the reaction will then proceed to bombard other atoms of the element in the reaction, creating a cascade of fission and bombardment within the nuclear reactor.
