A helicopter ambulance flew from one hospital to another in a straight line. The pilot had to change speed several times due to

the presence of other aircraft. The helicopter flew 20 kilometers in 8 minutes. What was the average speed of the helicopter during the trip?

Answer:

Explanation:

All the rest of the information is extraneous. The only 2 things you have to know are

d = 20 km

t = 8 minutes = 8/60 hours = 0.13333333

So the speed is s = d/t

s = 20/0.1333333 = 150 km/hour

Note: you have not specified what units the speed is. I suppose you could answer 20/8 = 2.5 km/min

A 0.20 kg baseball is traveling at 40 m/s toward the batter. The ball is hit by the bat with a force of 200N, and is
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.015 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 0.2kg

Force, F = 200N

Initial velocity, u = 40m/s

Final velocity, v = 25m/s

To find the time;

Ft = m(v - u)

Time, t = m(v - u)/f

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Time, t = 0.2(25 - 40)/200

Time, t = 0.2(-15)/200

Time, t = 3/200

Time, t = 0.015 seconds.

Note: We ignored the negative sign because time can't be negative.

Which is likely to be more common in our Galaxy: white dwarfs or black holes? Why?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

White dwarfs are likely to be much more common. The number of stars decreases with increasing mass, and only the most massive stars are likely to complete their lives as black holes. There are many more stars of the masses appropriate for evolution to a white dwarf.

Which will increase the kinetic energy of an object more, increasing its mass or increasing its speed? Why?
agasfer [191]
Increasing its velocity will add to the kinetic energy more as the formula for kinetic energy is 0.5*m*v^2. (The speed will be squared making it greater)

The breaking car had 10,000 J of kinetic energy before breaking after breaking it had 2000 J of kinetic energy. How much thermal
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

8000J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car lost during breaking are converted to thermal energy and are gained by the brakes.

Kinetic energy loss by car = thermal energy gained by brakes.

∆K.E = ∆T.E ....1

The Kinetic energy loss by car can be expressed as;

∆K.E = K.E1 - K.E2

Initial K.E = K.E1 = 10000J

Final K.E = K.E2 = 2000J

∆K.E= 10000J - 2000J = 8000J

From equation 1,

∆K.E = ∆T.E

∆T.E = 8,000J

thermal energy gain by brakes = 8,000J
