It's not possible to answer the question exactly the way it's written.
That's because we don't know anything about the direction they
drive at any time during the trip. 

You see, "velocity" is not just a word that you use for 'speed' when
you want to sound smart and technical, like this question is doing. 
"Velocity" is a quantity that's made up of speed AND THE DIRECTION
of the motion.  If you don't know the direction of the motion, then you
CAN'T tell the velocity, only the speed.

Here are the average speeds that Lori's family drove on each leg
of their trip:

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Leg-A:  
Speed = 15km/10min = 1.5 km/min

Leg-B:  
Speed = 20km/15min = (1 and 1/3) km/min

Leg-C  
Speed = 24km/12min = 2 km/min

Leg-D:  
Speed = 36km/9min = 4 km/min

Leg-E: 
Speed = 14km/14min = 1 km/min

From lowest speed to highest speed, they line up like this:

[Leg-E] ==> [Leg-B] ==> [Leg-A] ==> [Leg-C] ==> [Leg-D]
  1.0 . . . . . . . . 1.3 . . . . . . . 1.5 . . . . . . . 2.0 . . . . . . . 4.0 . . . . km/minute   

Whoever drove Leg-D should have been roundly chastised
and then abandoned by the rest of the family.  36 km in 9 minutes
(4 km per minute) is just about 149 miles per hour !

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

5. Is greater than mg, always

Explanation:

If the cone has an inclination of angle β, the sum of forces will be:

x-axis (centripetal axis):

N*sin β = m*ax  where ax is the centripetal acceleration

y-axis:

N*cos β - m*g = m*ay   where ay is the vertical acceleration. If the block starts falling down, ay will be negative. If the block starts sliding up, ay will be positive. If the block does not move up nor down, ay=0.

Solving for N:

N = \frac{m*g + m*ay}{cos \beta }

If ay is positive or zero, N will be greater than mg. If ay is negative, N will be less than mg.

If the block is sliding along a horizontal circular path (not up, nor down), ay = 0, so N will always be greater than mg.

Thermal energy transfers throughout the water in the beaker. Describe and explain how this happens?
ziro4ka [17]
The transfer of heat between the bottom surface of the beaker and water inside it is due to Convection phenomenon. When a fluid, such as air or a liquid, is heated and then travels away from the source, it carries the thermal energy along. ... The fluid above a hot surface expands, becomes less dense, and rises

QveST [7]

Answer:

270 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

α = 150 rad/s²

ω = 12.0 rad/s

r = 1.30 m

Find:

a

The acceleration will have two components: a radial component and a tangential component.

The tangential component is:

at = αr

at = (150 rad/s²)(1.30 m)

at = 195 m/s²

The radial component is:

ar = v² / r

ar = ω² r

ar = (12.0 rad/s)² (1.30 m)

ar = 187.2 m/s²

So the magnitude of the total acceleration is:

a² = at² + ar²

a² = (195 m/s²)² + (187.2 m/s²)²

a = 270 m/s²
