A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 10.0 min

at 75.0 km/h, 6.0 min at 95.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 40.0 km/h and spends 40.0 min eating lunch and buying gas.(a) Determine the average speed for the trip.
(b) Determine the distance between the initial and final cities along the route.

Answer:

a)  v = 0.515 km / min ,   b)  x_total = 52 km

Explanation:

The measured speed is defined by the distance traveled between the time

         v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

In this case they give us the speed in several time intervals

let's find the distance traveled in each interval

a) Goes at 75 km/h for 10 min

        v = \frac{x}{t}x / t

         x₁ = v t

let's reduce speed to km / min

         v₁ = 75 km / h (1h / 60 min) = 1.25 km / min

the distance traveled in this time is

        x₁ = 1.25 10

        x₁ = 12.5 km

b) goes to v = 95 km / h for 6 min

        v = 95 km / h (1h 60 min) = 1.5833 km / min

the distance traveled is

        x₂ = v₂2 t

        x₂ = 1.58333 6

        x₂ = 9.5 km

c) goes to v = 40 km / h for 45.0 min

         v₃ = 40 km / h (1 h / 60min) = 0.6667 km / min

         x₃ = 0.6667 45

         x₃ = 30 km

d) t = 40 min, stopped

         x₄ = 0

A) let's calculate the average speed of the trip

          v =\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}   }{t_{1}+t_{2}+t_{3}+t_{4} }

          v = (12.5 +9.5 +30 +0) / (10 +6 +45 +40)

          v = 52/101

         v = 0.515 km / min

B) the distance between the two cities is

        x_total = x₁ + x₂ + x₃

        x_total = 12.5 +9.5 + 30

        x_total = 52 km

Explanation:

1. Convex mirror is curved outward.

2. Convex mirror forms an image that is smaller than the object.

3. Concave mirror is used to focus light rays. That's why it is also known as a converging mirror.

4. Plane mirror has a flat surface. It forms the same size of the image as that of the object.

Guillaume puts a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leaves it there until its temperature has dropped 15.1 K.
Zarrin [17]

Answer: (a) The magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is 15.1^{o}C.

(b) The magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is 27.2^{o}F.

Explanation:

(a)  Expression for change in temperature is as follows.

        |\Delta T| = |x - y|K

                         = 15.1 K

                    = |(x - 273.15) - (y - 273.15)|^{o}C

                    = |x - y|^{o}C

                    = 15.1^{o}C

Therefore, the magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is 15.1^{o}C.

(b)  Change in temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows.

           F = 1.8C + 32

          C = \frac{F - 32}{1.8}

Since,   K = C + 273

or,    \Delta K = \Delta C = \frac{\Delta F}{1.8}

         \Delta F = 1.8 \Delta K

                      = 1.8 (15.1)

                      = 27.18^{o}F

or,                  = 27.2^{o}F

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is 27.2^{o}F.

A 2.0 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a 15 N force at a constant velocity. What is the force of friction actin
lianna [129]

Answer:

<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.

The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.

The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.

Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.

The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.
