A group of bike riders took a 4 hour trip. During the first 3 hours, they traveled a total of 50 km, but
1 answer:
Answer:
15km/hr
Explanation:
The average speed for the entire trip is the sum of the total distance traveled divided by the total time of the trip.
Total time = 4hr
distance for the first 3hrs = 50km
distance for the last 1hr = 10km
Total distance = 50km + 10km = 60km
Now;
Average speed =
Insert the parameters and solve;
Average speed = = 15km/hr

A convergent meniscus lens is a lens that is composed of two spherical surfaces, like the on shown next:
The imaginary line that runs through the middle of the lens is the "symmetry axis".
In this type of lenses incident parallel beams of light converge in one point, as follows:
And thus we get the diagram.
Answer
given,
mass of the person, m = 50 Kg
length of scaffold = 6 m
mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg
distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m
Tension in the vertical rope = ?
now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.
T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g
T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8 + 70 x 9.8
T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)
system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.
taking moment about rope with tension T₂.
now,
T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0
'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.
6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3
6 T₁ = 4263
T₁ = 710.5 N
from equation (1)
T₂ = 1176 - 710.5
T₂ = 465.5 N
hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N
