A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 17.9 km. The trip to

ok 26.6 min.
a) What was her average speed, in kilometers per hour?
b) IS she returned home by the same path 7 h 30 min after she left, what was her average speed and velocity for the entire trip?

Answer:

See calculation below

Explanation:

Average speed = Distance/Time

a) Given

Distance = 17.9km

Time = 26.6minutes

Time = 26.6/60 hr

Time = 0.443hr

Average speed  = 17.9/0.443

Average speed = 40.38km/hr

b) If she returned home by the same path 7 h 30 min after she left, the distance will be the same;

Distance = 17.9km

Time = 7.5hr

Average speed = 17.9/7.5

Average speed = 2.387km/hr

Velocity of the entire trip = 40.38km/hr + 2.387km/hr

Velocity of the entire trip = 42.77km/hr

<em>Hence the velocity of the entire trip is 42.77km/hr</em>

A person tosses a ball from the ground up into the air at an initial speed of 10 m/sec and an initial angle of 43° off the groun
Artemon [7]
<h2>Component of the velocity of the ball in the horizontal direction just before the ball hits the ground = 7.31 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

In horizontal direction there is acceleration or deceleration for a ball tossed upward at an initial angle of 43° off the ground.

So the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

Horizontal component of velocity is the cosine component of velocity.

Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s

Angle, θ = 43°

Horizontal component of velocity = u cosθ

Horizontal component of velocity = 10 cos43

Horizontal component of velocity = 7.31 m/s

Since the horizontal velocity is unaffected, we have

     Component of the velocity of the ball in the horizontal direction just before the ball hits the ground = 7.31 m/s

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f
olga2289 [7]
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second

a bicycle rider pedals towards a hill at a speed of 7.5w/s. the combined mass of the bicycle and the rider is 75.0kg the cycle a
siniylev [52]

Answer:

2.8125 meters

Explanation:

I will assume 7.5 m/s

When the Kinetic Energy is entirely converted to Potential energy the max height will have been reached

KE = PE

1/2 m v^2 = mgh     divide by m

1/2 v^2 = gh         looking for  h     so divide both sides by

1/2 v^2 / g   = h      sub in the values   using g = 10 m/s^2

1/2 ( 7.5 )^2 / 10  = 2.8125 m
