Answer:

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.3 Km

Time = 62 minutes

To find the average speed in m/s;

First of all, we would convert the quantities to their standard unit (S.I) of measurement;

Conversion:

1.3 kilometres to meters = 1.3 * 1000 = 1300 meters

For time;

1 minute = 60 seconds

62 minutes = X

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 62 * 60

X = 3720 seconds

Now, we can calculate the average speed in m/s using the formula;

Speed = \frac {distance}{time}

Speed = \frac {1300}{3720}

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

What are 3 examples of elastic collisions?
Andre45 [30]
QUICK ANSWER

The collision between two gas molecules or billiard balls can be approximated as elastic collisions. Elastic collisions are exchanges of kinetic energy between two bodies having different reference frames in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies after collision is equal to the energy before collision.'

Which statement is true about a person on Mars?
zzz [600]

Answer:

A. A person would have the same mass, but weigh less.

Explanation:

Remember, even if you weigh less because of a change in gravity's force on your body, your body's mass is still the same.

The drawing shows a tire of radius R on a moving car
masha68 [24]

Answer:

 H / R = 2/3

Explanation:

Let's work this problem with the concepts of energy conservation. Let's start with point P, which we work as a particle.

Initial. Lowest point

          Em₀ = K = 1/2 m v²

Final. In the sought height

         Em_{f} = U = mg h

Energy is conserved

        Em₀ =  Em_{f}

        ½ m v² = m g h

        v² = 2 gh

Now let's work with the tire that is a cylinder with the axis of rotation in its center of mass

Initial. Lower

        Em₀ = K = ½ I w²

Final. Heights sought

        Emf = U = m g R

        Em₀ =  Em_{f}

       ½ I w² = m g R

The moment of inertial of a cylinder is

       I = I_{cm} + ½ m R²

      I= ½ I_{cm}  + ½ m R²

Linear and rotational speed are related

       v = w / R

       w = v / R

We replace

      ½ I_{cm}  w² + ½ m R² w²  = m g R

moment of inertia of the center of mass      

      I_{cm}  = ½ m R²

     ½ ½ m R² (v²/R²) + ½ m v² = m gR

    m v² ( ¼ + ½ ) = m g R

   

       v² = 4/3 g R

As they indicate that the linear velocity of the two points is equal, we equate the two equations

        2 g H = 4/3 g R

         H / R = 2/3

Which characteristic of a light wave must increase
anzhelika [568]
The answer is 4.

The speed of light is faster in the air than in the glass, because a wavelength can be refracted in glass. Because the speed increases when the light wave passes from glass into air, the wavelength will also increase.
