Firstly, we need to make the times and distance equal to compare.
1hr=60mins
Gonz drove 90km in 60mins,so they would drive 45km in 30 mins dividing it by 2.
Because the Rivs had gone 30km in 30mins, Gonz were faster.
For the adverage speed, we should first add the speed of each family in mph , so 90+60, which equals 150 and divide that by 2 because there are 2 speeds so the average speed is 75mph.
P.S English is my second language so tell me if you don't understand something and I will try and explain.
Answer:
C. Fill two identical pots with equal volumes of salt water and tap water and use a stopwatch to determine the time it takes each pot to boil.
Explanation:
<u>A) is incorrect</u> because Peter should have the same testing environment for both of his experiments.
He should choose the same method of boiling the salt water and tap water because the stovetop and the microwave could also affect the results and make them unreliable.
<u>B) is incorrect</u> because Peter should not estimate the time it takes the salt water and tap water to boil.
Peter should measure and record the amount of time that it takes these substances to boil in order to have an accurate, valid experimental thesis.
<u>C) is correct</u> because Peter uses the same volume of salt water and tap water, fills them into two identical pots, and uses a stopwatch to determine the amount of time it takes each pot to boil.
The stopwatch makes the experiment more valid and accurate compared to the previous methods, and the identical pots and amounts of water help this experiment become even more precise.
<u>D) is incorrect</u> because the variables in the experiment are not controlled amounts and will therefore produce an inaccurate and invalid experiment.
<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of the rocket = 10 kg
Weight of the Rocket = 100 N
Upward thrust applied by the rocket = 400 N
<u>Net upward force on the rocket:</u>
We are given that gravity pulls the rocket with a force of 100 N
Also, the rocket applied a force of 400N against gravity
Net upward force = Upward thrust - Force applied by gravity
Net upward force = 400 - 100
Net upward force = 300 N
<u>Upward Acceleration of the Rocket:</u>
From newton's second law:
F = ma
<em>replacing the variables</em>
300 = 10 * a
a = 30 m/s²
