47. A car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. What

Otrada [13]

Answer: 114 km/h

Explanation:

The formula for determining average speed is expressed as

Average speed = total distance/total time

The car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. It means that the total distance that the car travels is

85 + 200 = 285 km

The total time spent by the car is

0.5 + 2 = 2.5 hours

Therefore,

Average speed = 285/2.5 = 114 km/h

A 50 Q resistor in a circuit has a current flowing through it of 2.0 A. What is

Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

We can use the following equation for calculating power dissipated by a resistor:
$P = i^2R$

P = Power (? W)
i = Current through resistor (2.0 A)
R = Resistance of resistor (50Ω)

Plug in the known values and solve.

$P = (2.0^2)(50) = \boxed{\text{ B. }200 W}$

Two identical asteroids travel side by side while touching one another. If the asteroids are composed of homogeneous pure iron a

victus00 [196]

Answer:

diameter = 21.81 ft

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is:

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }$

Where:

F => Gravitational force or force of attraction between two masses
M => Mass of asteroid 1
m => Mass of asteroid 2
R => Distance between asteroids 1 and 2 (from center of gravity)

We also know that the asteroids are identical so their masses are identical:

Since R is the distance between centers of the two asteroids and their diameters are identical (see attachment), we can conclude that:

R=d=2r

We don´t know the mass of the asteroids but we know they are composed of pure iron, so we can relate their masses to their density:

m=ρV

This is going to be helpful because the volume of a sphere is:

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

And know we can write our original force of gravity equation in terms of the radius of the asteroids:

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} } =\frac{Gmm}{(2r)^{2} } =\frac{Gm^{2} }{4r^{2} }$
$F=\frac{G ( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}ρ)^{2} }{4r^{2} }$
$F= \frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{6} ρ^{2}}{(9)(4)r^{2} } =\frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{4}ρ^{2} }{36}$
