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>

At a playground, a child slides down a slide that makes a 42° angle with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic fr
kumpel [21]

Answer:

a = 5.1\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given,

The angle of the slide=42^\circ

The mass of the child is= m

coefficient of friction = 0.20

when she slides down now apply Newton's law

ma =mg \sin\theta - f

ma = mg\sin \theta -\mu mg \cos \theta

therefore the acceleration

a=g \sin\theta -\mu gcos\theta

a=g[\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta]

a=9.8\times [\sin 42^\circ -0.2\times \cos 42^\circ]

a = 5.1\ m/s^2

hence, the magnitude of acceleration during her sliding is equal to  a = 5.1\ m/s^2

what is the wavelength λ2λ2lambda 2 of the second laser that would place its second maximum at the same location as the fourth m
nordsb [41]

The distance separating two wave crests is known as the wavelength. The wavelength of the second laser, where its second maximum would be located, is 0.109375 mm.

Double slit interference (constructive) can be described by the equation dsinθ=m λ

Here, the order is (m), the wavelength is (), and the slit distance is (d).

Information provided-

The laser's wavelength is d/8.

The slit separation is 0.500 mm in length.

Put the distance into consideration to determine the wavelength values as,

λ1=0.5 x 10⁻³/8

λ1=0.0625 x 10⁻³

Due to the second laser's wavelength, its second maximum would be at the same spot as the first laser's fourth minimum.

Therefore, we must first determine the fourth order minima as,

dsinθ= (4-1/2) λ1

dsinθ= (7/2) λ1

Using the second maxima, dsinθ= 2λ₂

Put the following value for in the equation above:

7/2λ1 = 2λ₂

7/2 x (0.0625 x 10⁻³) = 2λ₂

λ₂=0.000109375m.

Therefore, the wavelength of the second laser, where its second maximum would be located, is 0.109375 mm.

Alex is standing still and throws a football with a speed of 10 m/s to his friend, who is also standing still. The two friends a
Phantasy [73]

The question is incomplete. It comes with a set of answer choices.


These are the answer choices:


Alex observes it as 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as less than 10 m/s.


Alex observes it as less than 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as 10 m/s.


Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.


Both Alex and his friend observe it as less than 10 m/s.



Answer: Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.


Justification:


1) The speed is relative to the frame of reference.


2) It is said that the both Alex and his friend are standing still.


3) Then, the speed they both see is the same, 10 m/s, respect the Earth (where they are standing still).


Of course, Alex is watching the ball moving away and his friend is seing it approaching, but it is not relevant for the question, as it deals with the speed which is only about magnitude, not direction.

What is the direction of the force for a negative charge moving downward in a magnetic field pointing to the left?
velikii [3]

Answer: A

Out of the screen

Explanation:

Using right hand rule, the magnetic force is perpendicular to the plane form by the magnetic field of a charged particle and its speed. Which will be into the screen.

But the negative charged particle moves in the opposite direction of the positive charged particle. Therefore, the magnetic force direction will be out of the screen

(1 point) A projectile is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 600 m/sec and an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. Us
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(a) The range of the projectile is 31,813.18 m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile is 4,591.84 m

(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is 670.82 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the projectile, u = 600 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

(a) The range of the projectile in meters;

R = \frac{u^2sin \ 2\theta}{g} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin(2\times 30^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin (60^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = 31,813.18 \ m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile in meters;

H = \frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (sin \ 30)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 4,591.84 \ m

(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 600^2 + (2 \times 9.8)(4,591.84)\\\\v^2 = 360,000 + 90,000.064\\\\v = \sqrt{450,000.064} \\\\v = 670.82 \ m/s
