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

Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

So,  3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

a 45 kg ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. calculate the difference in the ma
ad-work [718]

Answer: 90 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum (linear momentum) p is given by the following equation:

p=m.V

Where:

m=45 kg is the mass of the skater

V is the velocity

In this situation the skater has two values of momentum:

Initial momentum: p_{1}=m.V_{1}

Final momentum: p_{2}=m.V_{2}

Where:

V_{1}=3 m/s

V_{1}=5 m/s

So, if we want to calculate the difference in the magnitude of the skater's momentum, we have to write the following equation(assuming the mass of the skater remains constant):

p=p_{2}-p_{1}=m.V_{2}-m.V_{1}

p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})

p=45 kg(5 m/s - 3 m/s)

Finally:

p=90 kgm/s
