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 roller coaster begins at the top of a hill if it acelerates at the rate of 2 m/s2 and has a mass of 2000 kg what net force is
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4000 \ Newtons }}

Explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

F=m*a

The mass of the roller coaster is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

m= 2000 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2

Substitute the values into the formula.

F= 2000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

F= 4000  \ kg*m/s^2

  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 N
  • Therefore our answer of 4000 kg*m/s² is equal to 4000 Newtons

F= 4000 \ N

The net force acting on the roller coaster is <u>4000 Newtons.</u>

Hi please may someone help me especially on the sketch part.
vaieri [72.5K]

Ignoring the air resistance it will take about 3 seconds for the object to reach the ground.We know that the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2.

We also know that the final velocity is 30 m/s while the initial velocity is 0 m/s

we can use the formulae for acceleration to calculate the time taken/

(final - initial velocity)/timetaken=10

(30-0)/timetaken=10

timetaken =30/10=3 seconds

Which property does not apply to a motor? A. It uses an electromagnet. B. The direction of current changes twice during the rota
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:  

     

Explanation:

A motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. A current carrying coil is placed between electromagnets. A magnetic force is exerted on the coil which makes it rotate. The direction of current changes twice during the rotation of the coil. An outside source of electric current is used.

Thus, the wrong statement is D. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is the generator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

How does 'g' vary from place to place?​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

The acceleration g varies by about 1/2 of 1 percent with position on Earth's surface, from about 9.78 metres per second per second at the Equator to approximately 9.83 metres per second per second at the poles.
