Suppose the cyclist travels for a total time of <em>t</em> hours.

For 20 min = 1/3 hr, the cyclist does not move.

Over the remaining (<em>t</em> - 1/3) hr, the cyclist is moving at a constant speed of 22.0 km/hr, so that the cyclist would travel a distance of

<em>x</em> = (22.0 km/hr) • ((<em>t</em> - 1/3) hr) ≈ (22.0 km/hr) <em>t</em> - 7.33 km

If the cyclist's average speed over the total time <em>t</em> was 17.5 km/hr, then by the definition of average speed,

17.5 km/hr = <em>x</em> / <em>t</em>

Replace <em>x</em> with the distance expression from earlier:

17.5 km/hr = ((22.0 km/hr) <em>t</em> - 7.33 km) / <em>t</em>

Solve for <em>t</em> :

17.5 km/hr = 22.0 km/hr - (7.33 km) / <em>t</em>

(7.33 km) / <em>t</em> = 4.5 km/hr

<em>t</em> = (7.33 km) / (4.5 km/hr)

<em>t</em> ≈ 1.62963 hr

Then the distance the cyclist traveled must have been

<em>x</em> ≈ (22.0 km/hr) (1.62963 hr) - 7.33 km ≈ 28.5 km

and so the answer is A.

Alternatively, as soon as you arrive at

17.5 km/hr = <em>x</em> / <em>t</em>

you can instead solve for <em>t</em> in terms of <em>x</em>, then plug that into the distance equation.

<em>t</em> = <em>x</em> / (17.5 km/hr)

then

<em>x</em> ≈ (22.0 km/hr) (<em>x</em> / (17.5 km/hr)) - 7.33 km

<em>x</em> ≈ 1.25714 <em>x</em> - 7.33 km

0.25714<em>x</em> ≈ 7.33 km

<em>x</em> = (7.33 km) / 0.25714 ≈ 28.5 km

A mosquito flies toward you with a velocity of 2.4 km/h [E]. If a distance of 35.0 m separates you and the mosquito initially, a
tangare [24]

First convert the speed of mosquito to m/s:

So the mosquito is flying at (2,400/3,600) m/s, or ⅔ m/s. 

<span>

Since you are moving at 2m/s, so this makes the closing velocity between you and the mosquito to be 2⅔ m/s. </span>

Therefore the mosquito will hit your sunglasses at:<span>

35 m / (2⅔ m/s) = 13⅛ seconds. 

2.0 m/s * 13⅛ s = 26¼ m from your initial position. 

<span>⅔ m/s * 13⅛ s = 8¾ m from the mosquito's initial position. </span></span>

How would the period of pendulum differ from an equivalent one on earth?<br>​
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

If you know that that free fall acceleration g on the Moon is about 6 times less than on the Earth, it gives you the answer: on the Moon the same pendulum will have a period about √6≈2.45 longer than on the Earth.

Why you do scientists collect multiple trials?
sergiy2304 [10]

"When we do experiments it's a good idea to do multiple trials, that is, do the same experiment lots of times. When we do multiple trials of the same experiment, we can make sure that our results are consistent and not altered by random events. Multiple trials can be done at one time."
