The speed is 80 m/h you find it by dividing the distance by time

What you need is a definition of average speed. Here it is:

   Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

For the race car in the question:

Average speed = (200 mile) / (2.5 hour)

   = (200 / 2.5) (mile/hour)

   =    80 miles per hour .

That doesn't seem all that fast for a race-car.
But the math is bullet-proof.

A 750-kg automobile is moving at 16.8 m/s at a height of 5.00 m above the bottom of a hill when it runs out of gasoline. The car

anygoal [31]

Answer:h=19.4 m

Explanation:

Given

mass of automobile $m=750\ kg$

Initial height of automobile $h_o=5\ m$

Velocity at this instant $v=16.8\ m/s$

If the car stops somewhere at a height $h$

Thus conserving total energy we get

$K_i+U_i=K_f+U_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh_o=\frac{1}{2}m(0)^2+mgh$

$\frac{v^2}{2g}+h_o=h$

$h=5+\frac{16.8^}{2\times 9.8}$

$h=5+14.4$

$h=19.4\ m$

4. A light string is attatched to a heavy rope, and the whole thing is pulled tight. A wave is sent along the light string. When

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is (A)

When it hits the heavy rope, compared to the wave on the string, the wave that propagates along the rope has the same (A) frequency

Explanation:

The speed of a wave in a string is dependent on the square root of the tension ad inversely proportional to the square root of the linear density of the string. Generally, the speed of a wave through a spring is dependent on the elastic and inertia properties of the string

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu } } = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L } }$

Therefore if the linear density of the heavy rope is four times that of light rope the velocity is halved and since

v = f×λ therefore v/2 = f×λ/2

Therefore the wavelength is halved, however the frequency remains the same as continuity requires the frequency of the incident pulse vibration to be transmitted to the denser medium for the wave to continue as the wave is due to vibrating particles from a source for example

The low areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions

qwelly [4]

The answer is; pressure

The sound is a longitudinal wave meaning the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves, therefore, produce compression (akin to the crest in a transverse wave) and rarefaction regions (akin to a trough in a transverse wave) as its energy is propagated in the medium.

) A coin is tossed 13 times. a) How many different outcomes are possible? 2^8 b) How many different outcomes have exactly 4 head

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) A coin has two sides, therefore the total outcome possible when a coin is tossed is 2 i.e Head (H) and Tail (T)

outcome of two coins will be 4 i.e 2^2

Outcome of three coins will be 8 i.e 2^3 and so on. Since its following a trend, the outcome when 'n' coins is tossed will be 2^n.

Using the general formula, the possible outcome when a coin is tossed 13 times will be "2^13"
