Answer:

5.625km/h

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between home and market, d=2.5 km

Speed, v1=5km/h

Speed, v2=7.5 km/h

We have to find the average speed of the man over the interval of time 0 to 40min.

Time,t=\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

t_1=\frac{2.5}{5}=0.5 h=0.5\times 60=30 min

1 hour =60 min

t_2=\frac{2.5}{7.5}=\frac{1}{3}hour=\frac{60}{3}=20min

Distance traveled by man in 10 min with speed 7.5 km/h=\frac{2.5}{20}\times 10=2.5/2km

Therefore,

Total distance covered=2.5+2.5/2=3.75 km

Time=40 min=40/60=2/3 hour

Average speed=\frac{total\;distance}{total\;time}

Average speed=\frac{3.75}{2/3}=5.625km/h

How much pure gold (24/24) is to be added to 15.0 grams of 14 K gold (14/24) to obtain 18 K gold (18/24)?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

10 gram gold is added

Explanation:

given data

pure gold = (24/24)

added = 15 grams

gold = 14 K  ( 14/24)

gold = 18 K ( 18/24)

to find out

How much pure gold added

solution

we know here that when we add gold to get 20 K gold or 22K

so we added here 15 gram 14 K

we consider here m is pure gold added

so by composition here

we get

15 (14K)  + m ( 24 K) = ( 15 + m ) (18)    ...................1

solve it and find m

m = 10

so 10 gram gold is added

What happens when white light shines onto a red filter?
Gnesinka [82]
The dye in between the two pieces of glass in the filter absorbs all the other colors in the white light except the red, and the red is the only light left to come out the other side. That's why the filter usually looks kind of red. It's also a big part of the reason why we call it a "red filter".

Newton's second law A. describes how an object accelerates when a force is applied B. says that objects eventually stop unless a
Papessa [141]

Answer:

A. describes how an object accelerates when a force is applied

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion concerns the behavior of objects that do not have a stability between all established forces. The second law states that an object's acceleration depends on two factors: the net force on the entity and the entity's mass.

If a triangle is a right triangle, then the other two angles must be acute. true or false
skelet666 [1.2K]
That depends on which angle you picked first, because that determines
which angles "the other two" are.

If you picked the right angle (90°) first, before you asked the question,
then the other two are acute angles, and they're also complementary
