Answer:

58.24 Km/h.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance (d) = 495 Km

Time (t) = 8 h 30 mins

Speed (S) =?

Next, we shall express 8 hours 30 mins to hours.

We'll begin by convert 30 mins to hour.

60 mins = 1 h

Therefore,

30 mins = 30 mins × 1 h/ 60 mins

30 mins = 0.5 hour.

Thus,

8 h 30 min = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5 hours

Speed is define as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed as shown below:

Distance (d) = 495 Km

Time (t) = 8.5 hour

Speed (S) =?

Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 495 Km / 8.5 hour

Speed = 58.24 Km/h

Thus, the speed is 58.24 Km/h.

How is a wave created?
patriot [66]

Answer:

Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. ... Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest

Juliette sets the initial velocity to +10 m/s, the acceleration to zero, and clicks “start.” How can Shakina describe the subseq
ICE Princess25 [194]

Explanation :

It is given that :

The initial velocity of the car is 10 m/s.

Juliette sets the acceleration to zero.

We know that, acceleration a=\frac{v-u}{t}\

where,

u is the initial velocity and v is the final velocity.

So, final velocity will become 10 m/s.

Hence, the car will move with the constant velocity i.e. 10 m/s.

So, Shakina described that the car will move with the constant velocity of 10 m/s as acceleration is zero.

g A particle starts moving from the origin of the coordinate system with the initial velocity v(0)=<0,0,2> and acceleratio
mariarad [96]

Answer:

2s

Explanation:

The position function of the motion can be expressed as:

s = s_0 + v_0t + at^2/2

where s_0 = is the origin where the particle starts off, v_0 =  m/s and a = <1,2,0> m/s2. In the 3-coordinate system it can be written as

s =  =

For the particle to hit the 2x+y-z=4 plane then its coordinates must meet that criteria

2t^2/2 +t^2-2t = 4

2t^2 - 2t -4 = 0

t^2 - t - 2 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{1\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4*(1)*(-2)}}{2*(1)}

t= \frac{1\pm3}{2}

t = 2 or t = -1

Since t can only be positive we will pick t = 2s
