Answer:

120 miles/hour

Explanation:

The average speed is the ratio of total distance covered by an object or a body to the total time taken to cover the distance.

Mathematically,

    <em>Average speed = total distance covered/total time taken</em>

In the case of Connie:

total distance = 180 + 180 = 360 miles

In order to calculate the time for each trip

<em>speed = distance/time</em>

<em>   time = distance/speed</em>

From Phoenix to flagstaff:

  time = 180/180 = 1 hour

From flagstaff back to Phoenix:

  time = 180/90 = 2 hours

total time taken = 1 + 2 = 3 hours

Average speed = 360/3 = 120 miles/hour

<em>Hence, the average speed is </em><em>120 miles per hour.</em>

A space probe produces a radio signal pulse. If the pulse reaches Earth 12.3 seconds after it is emitted by the probe, what is t
adoni [48]

Answer:

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

The distance from the probe to Earth is 3.69 × 10^9 m

Explanation:

Distance from the probe to the Earth can be derived using the simple motion formula;

Distance = speed × time .....1

Since a radio signal uses an electromagnetic wave to transfer signal, it has the same speed as the speed of light.

Speed of radio signal = speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

time taken to reach the earth = 12.3 seconds

Substituting the values of speed and time into equation 1;

Distance = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s × 12.3 s

Distance = 36.9 × 10^8 m

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

Note: all electromagnetic radiation have the same speed which is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

A 0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). When the mass is at the highest point
il63 [147K]

Answer:

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as

T + mg =\frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Inserting the values

T + (0.50)(9.8) =\frac{(0.50)(12)^{2}}{2}

T = 31.1 N

A student tries to produce notes of higher frequency by blowing a trumpet harder. he will succeed?​
sdas [7]

Answer:

Please mark as Brainliest!!

Explanation:

He will not succeed as it blows the trumpet harder that only increase the amplitude of the sound wave that means the intensity of the sound will increase but the frequency remains the same.

A car weighing 14,700 N is speeding down a highway with a velocity of 99 km/h. What is the
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 148348.6239 kg•m/s

Explanation: Firstly, we need to convert the 14700 N into kilograms, and to do so, use the formula net force is equal to mass times acceleration and rearrange the formula to find mass like shown below...

F = ma

F/a = m

14700/9.81 = 1498.470948 kg, this is your mass

Now that we convert it into kilograms, plug all the numbers into the variable of the momentum formula.

Momentum formula is P = mass x velocity

Like this:

P = 1498.470948 x 99

p = 148348.6239 kg•m/s.

I believe that is your answer, hope that helps you even a bit out.

Thanks.
