Answer:

<em>The tourist's average speed was 80 mph</em>

Explanation:

<u>Average Speed </u>

If an object travels a distance d in a time t regardless of the direction, the average speed is the quotient of the distance over the time:

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

The tourist leaves Pittsburgh and travels 60 miles South in 45 minutes. Then he heads West and travels 100 miles in 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The total distance traveled is:

d = 60 miles + 100 miles = 160 miles

The total time is:

t = 45 minutes + 1 hour + 15 minutes = 2 hours

The average speed is:

\displaystyle v=\frac{160}{2}

v = 80 mph

The tourist's average speed was 80 mph

Car at rest:

velocity= 0m/s

Acceleration:

0.2m/s²

Since total time:

3 min = 180s

Formula of acceleration:

acceleration = [final velocity - initial velocity] ÷ [total time]

Velocity at end:

0.2m/s² = [final velocity - 0m/s] ÷ [180s]

0.2m/s² × 180s = [final velocity]

[final velocity] = 36m/s

Distance travelled:

Velocity = displacement(distance) ÷ time

36m/s = displacement(distance) ÷ 180s

displacement(distance) = 36m/s × 180s

displacement(distance) = 6480m

<em><u>Hey I'm sorry but i do not understand why the answer on your worksheet for distance travelled is 3240m... its </u></em><em><u>half</u></em><em><u> of what my answer is...</u></em>

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the

Answer: 1.14 N

Explanation :

As any body submerged in a fluid, it receives an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid removed by the body, which can be expressed as follows:

Fb = δair . Vb . g = 1.29 kg/m3 . 4/3 π (0.294)3  m3. 9.8 m/s2

Fb = 1.34 N

In the downward direction, we have 2 external forces acting upon the balloon: gravity and the tension in the line, which sum must be equal to the buoyant force, as the balloon is at rest.

We can get the gravity force as follows:

Fg = (mb +mhe) g  

The mass of helium can be calculated as the product of the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon (assumed to be a perfect sphere), as follows:

MHe = δHe . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3 = 0.019 kg

Fg = (0.012 kg + 0.019 kg) . 9.8 m/s2 = 0.2 N

Equating both sides of Newton´s 2nd Law in the vertical direction:

T + Fg = Fb

T = Fb – Fg = 1.34 N – 0.2 N = 1.14 N
