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

Arada [10]
If you are under a tree, they kind of act like lightning rods, so stay away from trees, so roll in dat grass. Fun Fact: Lightning comes from the ground more than it comes from the sky, its like when you rub a blanket on your head, some lil' lightnings come from your head while a little come from the blanket, its the same with grass and clouds only, 10000 volts stronger and deadly.

Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction. Object 2 of mass 3 m moves with speed 4 v in the negative x-dir
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;

K1 = 1/2mv²

For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;

K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²

K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)

K2 = (3m)(8v²)

K2 = 24mv²

To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;

K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²

K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)

K2/K1 = 48

K2 = 48K1

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.

How would a spinning disk's kinetic energy change if its moment of inertia was five times larger but its angular speed was five
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

<em>The kinetic energy of a spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Let us first consider the initial characteristics of the angular motion of the disk

moment of inertia = I

angular speed = ω

For the second case, we consider the characteristics to now be

moment of inertia = 5I  (five times larger)

angular speed = ω/5  (five times smaller)

Recall that the kinetic energy of a spinning body is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}

therefore,

for the first case, the K.E. is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}

and for the second case, the K.E. is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}(5I)(\frac{w}{5} )^{2}   = \frac{5}{50}Iw^{2}

KE = \frac{1}{10}Iw^{2}

<em>this is one-tenth the kinetic energy before its spinning characteristics were changed.</em>

<em>This implies that the kinetic energy of the spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.</em>

What is one reason for feeling warmer in your house on a summer day versus a winter day even though your thermostat is set the s
anzhelika [568]
The correct option is C.
During the summer period, the weather is hotter compare to the winter period because the sun is closer to the earth. The walls of our houses absorb the more intense heat and radiate part of it into the house, this makes us to feel warmer.
