Answer:

9.26 km/h

Explanation:

Applying,

V' = D'/t'............... Equation 1

Where V' = Average speed, D' = Total distance, t' = total time.

Given: D' = 5 km

But,

v = d/t............ Equation 2

Where v = speed , d = distance, t = time

t = d/v............ Equation 3

Given: d = 4.5 km, v = 9 km/h, and d = 0.5 km, v = 12.5 km/h

Therefore,

t₁ = 4.5/9 = 0.5 hours

t₂ = 0.5/12.5

t₂ = 0.04 hours

Therefore,

V' = 5/(0.5+0.04)

V' = 5/0.54

V' = 9.26 km/h

a student in your class says "electromagnetic waves can travel through outer space but mechanical waves can’t.” is it this stude
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel

You calculate the density of a block of aluminum to be 2.68 g/cm3. You look up the density of a block of aluminum at room temper
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Systematic errors.

Explanation:

The density of the aluminium was calculated by a human and this is not natural but can be due to errors in the calibration of the scale for measuring the weight or taking readings from the measuring cylinder.

Random errors are natural errors. Random errors in experimental measurements are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment. Systematic errors are due to imprecision or problems with instruments.

What is the net force on a truck if the force of friction is 31 N and the force of the engine is 79 N?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Fr = 48 [N] forward.

Explanation:

Suppose the movement is on the X axis, in this way we have the force of the engine that produces the movement to the right, while the force produced by the brake causes the vehicle to decrease its speed in this way the sign must be negative.

∑F = Fr

F_{engine}-F_{brake} =F_{r}\\F_{r}=79-31\\F_{r}=48[N]

The movement remains forward, since the force produced by the movement is greater than the braking force.
