Answer:

<em>The average speed of the train is 45 km/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed</u>

It's defined as the distance (d) per unit of time (t) traveled by an object. The formula is:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Let's call x the total distance covered by the train. It covered d1=1/3x with a speed of v1=25 km/h. The time taken is calculated solving for t:

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{d_1}{v_1}

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{1/3x}{25}

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{x}{75}

Now the rest of the distance:

d2 = x - 1/3x = 2/3x

Was covered at v2=75 km/h. Thus the time taken is:

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{d_2}{v_2}

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2/3x}{75}

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2x}{225}

The total time is:

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{75}+\frac{2x}{225}

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{3x}{225}+\frac{2x}{225}

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{5x}{225}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{45}

The average speed is the total distance divided by the total time:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{\frac{x}{45}}

Simplifying:

\boxed{\displaystyle \bar v=45\ km/h}

The average speed of the train is 45 km/h

A very long straight wire has charge per unit length 1.44×10-10C/m.
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m            

Explanation:

We have given charge per unit length, that is liner charge density \lambda =1.44\times 10^{-10}C/m

Electric field E = 2.45 N/C

We have to find the distance at which electric field is 2.45 N/C

We know that electric field due to linear charge is equal to

E=\frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon _0r}, here \lambda is linear charge density and r is distance of the point where we have to find the electric field

So 2.45=\frac{1.44\times 10^{-10} }{2\times 3.14\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times r}

r = 1.06 m

So distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m

Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify
frosja888 [35]

Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quality.

Alternative sources of energy include : geothermal
baherus [9]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option E (All of the above)

All the options are alternative source of energy.

The option given are not the traditional way (energy production from coal) of extracting energy as the loss of natural resources does not take place in these source of energy.

energy extracted from wind,  solar light , hydrogen ,etc are the source of energy  the alternative source of production of energy because do not exploit the natural resources, reduce the carbon emission and energy produced by them is clean energy.

9. A balloon is filled with 1000 cm3 of a gas weighing 1000 g. Will it rise or fall when it is released?
torisob [31]

We can calculate the density of the balloon as follows:

\rho=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{1000g}{1000cm^3}=\frac{1g}{cm^3}

Therefore, the balloon will fall

Since the density of air is about 0.00123 g/cm^3 , the balloon is much more dense than the surrounding air. As a result, the balloon weighs more than the air that it displaces so the balloon will fall.

How can a force change the motion of an object that is already moving?
lara [203]

Answer:They may cause motion to change

Explanation:They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.
