A 1.0 liter pot is filled with water at sea level and is brought to a boil. the same pot is filled with water at 5,000 feet abov

e sea level and is brought to a boil. assuming the same heat is being applied to the pots and that they are filled with the same amount of water, which pot will boil faster and why?

A badger is running at a speed of 1 m/s. If the badger moves that was for 2600 seconds, how far will the badger travel?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

It would be 2600

Explanation:

M/S stands for meters per second. If it moved 1 meter for 2600 seconds, than it would be 2600. You just multiply 2600 by 1! I hope this helps :D

A car travels 40 miles in 30 minutes.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

(a)Average velocity ,v =128.74 Km/hr

(b)Kinetic Energy , K=958546.875 Joule

(c)Distance, s=268.8m

(d)Acceleration, a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Distance travelled = 40 miles

Time taken = 30 minutes.

(A) The average velocity in kilometres/hour

Converting 40 miles into km ,

we know that,

1 mile = 1.60934

40 miles = 40 x 1.60934

so 40 miles = 64.3738 Km

similarly converting 30 minutes into hours

1 minute = $\frac{1}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{30}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{1}{2}hours$

Now

Average velocity = $\frac{Speed}{time}$

Substituting Values,

Average velocity = $\frac{64.3738}{\frac[1}{2}}$

Average velocity = $64.3738 \times 2$

Average velocity =128.74 Km/hr

(B) If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its kinetic energy in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)? in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)?

Converting 1.5 tons into kg we get

1 ton = 1000 kg

so 1.5 ton =1500 kg

converting velocity to m/s

$128.74 \times \frac{5}{18}$

=>35.75 m/s----------------------------------------------------------(1)

kinetic energy K= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Substituting the values,

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(35.75)^2$

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(1278.06)$

K= $\frac{1500 \times (1278.06)}{2}$

K= $\frac{1917093.75}{2}$

K=958546.875 Joule---------------------------------------------(2)

(c)When the driver applies the brake, it takes 15 seconds to stop. How far does the car travel (in meters) while stopping

Lets use Distance formula,

$S= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Substituting the known values,

$s= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s= (37.75)(15)+\frac{1}{2}a(15)^2$

$s=566.25+\frac{1}{2}a(225)$

$s=566.25+\frac{(225a)}{2}$ -------------------------------------(3)

(D) What is the average acceleration of the car (in m/s2) during braking?

Using the formula

v=u +at

re arranging the formula we get,

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

Substituting the values

$a = \frac{0 - 35.75}{15}$

$a = \frac{- 35.75}{15}$

a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$ ----------------------------------------(4)

Now substituting 4 in 3 we get

$s=566.25+\frac{(225( - 2.38)}{2}$

$s=566.25+\frac{-535.5}{2}$

$s=536.25-267.75$

s=268.8m--------------------------------------------------------------(5)
