You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 75 km/h and the other half at 106 km/h. On the way back

you travel half the distance at 75 km/h and the other half at 106 km/h. What is your average speed (a) from San Antonio to Houston, (b) from Houston back to San Antonio, and (c) for the entire trip

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) from San Antonio to Houston let distance be d km .

Average speed = total distance / total time

time = distance / speed

Total time = (d / 2 x 75 ) +( d / 2 x 106 )

= .0067 d + .0047 d

= .0114 d

Average speed  = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h

b ) from Houston back to San Antonio

Total time = (d / 2 x 106 ) +( d / 2 x 75 )

= .0047 d + .0067 d

= .0114 d

Average speed  = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h

c )

For entire trip :

total distance = 2d

total time = 2 x .0114 d

Average speed  = 2 d / 2 x .0114 d

= 87.72 km /h .

Electromagnetic waves need no matter to travel - they can travel through empty space (a vacuum). In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x 108 m/s - which is the fastest speed possible. ...
Light traveling value through an optical Fibre is, 2 x 108 m/s. Hope that helps.

You are riding in the passenger seat of a car as it goes around a tight turn. You slide across the seat to the passenger side do
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

1. b. The door is exerting a centripetal force on you that balances the centrifugal force of the turn.

2. b. There is no net force acting on the object.

Explanation:

1. This is because as you move to the right due to the centrifugal force of the turn, a corresponding centripetal force acts on you due to the door which does not allow you fall out of the car since,<u> the door is exerting a centripetal force on you that balances the centrifugal force of the turn. </u>

So, the answer is b

2. This is because, since the object moves at a constant speed and thus does not accelerate, no net force can act on it since, a net force would imply that the object accelerates. Note that a constant speed does not imply that no force acts on it. It only shows that the resultant or net force is zero since the object does not accelerate.

So, <u>there is no net force acting on the object. </u>

So, b is the answer.

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

t = 16.94 s

Explanation:

t is the time passes before police catch the speeder

speed of speeder Vo = V = 23.3 m/s

T = t

Police Info

Vo = 0 m/s

a = 2.75 m/s^2

t = t

Now,

displacement of the police car = displacement of the speeder.

x_{police} = Vo *t + 1/2 at^2

since Vo = 0

x police = 1/2 at^2

x police = 1/2 (2.75)(t)^2

Now the displacement of speeder is

x_{speeder} = Vt

x_{speeder} = 23.3 t

x_{speeder} = x_{police}

23.3 t = 1/2 * 2.75 t^2

23.3 t = 1.375 t^2

t = 23.3\1.375

t = 16.94

t = 16.94 s
