The average speed can be easily calculated by taking the ratio of distance and time. That is:

average speed = distance / time

so calculating:

average speed = 4875 ft / 6.85 minutes

average speed = 711.68 ft / min

Answer:

Speed of the runner is 8.08 miles per hour approximately.

Explanation:

Given:

A runner runs =4875 ft

Time Taken = 6.85 minutes.

To Find:

Average speed of the runner in miles per hour=?

Solution:

Distance = Speed x time

Conveting feet into miles:

=>Distance= $4875\times\frac{1}{5280}$ miles

=>Distance = 0.9232955 miles

Converting minutes into hours:

time = 6.85 minutes

=> $6.85\times \frac{1}{60}$ hours

=> $\frac{6.85}{60}$ = 0.1141667 hours.

Now, we know that, distance = speed x time

Then, 0.9232955 miles = speed x 0.1141667 hours

=>speed = $\frac{0.9232955}{0.1141667}$

=>speed = 8.08725749

What will happen if a car experiences a 300 N force to the right from the engine and a separate 150 N force due to friction and

gayaneshka [121]

Force applied on the car due to engine is given as

$F_1 = 300 N$ towards right

Also there is a force on the car towards left due to air drag

$F_2 = 150 N$ towards left

now the net force on the car will be given as

$\vec F_{net} = \vec F_1 + \vec F_2$

now we can say that since the two forces are here opposite in direction so here the vector sum of two forces will be the algebraic difference of the two forces.

So we can say

$F_{net} = F_1 - F_2$

$F_{net} = 300 - 150$

$F_[net} = 150 N$

So here net force on the car will be 150 N towards right and hence it will accelerate due to same force.

T=2pi square root 1/g solve for g. Explanation would be really helpful.

Natalija [7]

I added individual steps for clarity. Note that g must be positive if the solution is to be real.

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}=2\pi g^{-\frac{1}{2}}\\g^{-\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{T}{2\pi}\\(g^{-\frac{1}{2}})^{-2} = (\frac{T}{2\pi})^{-2}\\g = \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\,\,\,, g>0}$

Let me know if you have any questions.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

D. 24 lb

Explanation:

Tina has been dieting for 13 weeks

First week she lost 3 pounds

Next week she gained 1 pound and did not lose any. This will be subtracted as she has gained a pound

The remaining 11 weeks she lost 2 pounds per week

Weight lost in the 11 weeks = 11×2 =22 pounds

Total weight lost

3-1+22 = 24 lb

Tina has lost 24 pounds in total during the 13 weeks
