Answer:

Our average speed was 50 mph

Explanation:

Constant Speed Motion

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

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

The distance we had to drive is d=150 miles. If we left at 1 p.m. and got to the hotel at 4 p.m. This means we took t=3 hours to get there.

The average speed is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{150\ miles}{3\ h}$

$v=50\ mi/h$

Our average speed was 50 mph

A spring is hanging from the ceiling. When a 250 gram of mass is attached to the free end, the spring elongates by 5 cm. The spr

lord [1]

Answer:

k = 49 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

When the mass is attached to the end of the spring, it elongates 5 cm or 0.05 m. We need to find the spring constant. Let it is k.

The force due to mass is balanced by its weight as follows :

mg=kx

$k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{0.25\times 9.8}{0.05}\\\\k=49\ N/m$

So, the spring constant of the spring is 49 N/m.

A 30.0 g mass of iron at 24.5°C is heated to 45.0°C. The theoretical specific

diamong [38]

Answer:

276.135 J

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of Fe = 30.0 g

initial temperature = 24.5°C

final temperature = 45.0°C

specific heat of Fe = 0.449 J/g°C

We can determine the thermal energy added by using the formula;

Q = mcΔT

Q = 30.0g × 0.449 J/g°C × (45.0 - 24.5)°C

Q = 276.135 J

Find the total electric charge of 1.7 kg of electrons. me=9.11×10−31kg, e=1.60×10−19C.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$2.99\cdot 10^{11}C$

Explanation:

The mass of one electron is

$m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg$

So the number of electrons contained in M=1.7 kg of mass is

$N=\frac{M}{m_e}=\frac{1.7 kg}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg}=1.87\cdot 10^{30}$

The charge of one electron is

$e=1.60\cdot 10^{-19} C$

So, the total charge of these electrons is equal to the charge of one electron times the number of electrons:

$Q=Ne=(1.87\cdot 10^{30})(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)=2.99\cdot 10^{11}C$

An airplane in a holding pattern flies at constant altitude along a circular path of radius 3.38 km. If the airplane rounds half

Andrej [43]

Answer:

a) 6076 m

b) 43.33 m/s

c) 68 m/s

Explanation:

(a) If the airplane rounds half the circle in 156s, its displacement is the circle diameter in 156s, or twice the circle's radius

s = 2r = 2* 3.38km = 6.76 km or 6760 m

(b) The average velocity would be displacement over unit of time

v = s/t = 6760 / 156 = 43.33 m/s

c = πr = π3.38 = 10.62 km or 10620 m

The airplane average speed is its chord length over a unit of time

c / t = c / 156 = 68 m/s

If we use to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep thee latches secure.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

I'll assume the question is about magnetic latches and locks.

Magnetic door locks use an electromagnetic force to stop doors from opening, so they are ideal for security. There are two main types of electric locking devices. Locking devices can either be a fail-secure locking device that remains locked when power is lost, or a fail-safe locking device that is unlocked when de-energized. An electromagnetic lock creates a magnetic field when energized or powered up, this causes an electromagnet and armature plate to become attracted to each other strongly enough to keep a door from opening.
