A car travels 6 miles north, 3 miles east, and then 2 miles south. What is the distance traveled?

2 answers:

<span>The car traveled 11 miles.
I think this is a trick question, mean to have you draw triangles. If not meant to be a "where did they bury the survivors" type of question, it's poorly worded.
If the problem is looking for "as the crow flies" distance between the beginning and ending points, then we'd look at it on graph. Starting from 0,0, the car would end up at 3,4. We can find that distance.

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more

galina1969 [7]

The complete statement is

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another.

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.

A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 38 km/h and returns down the hill at a constant speed of 66 km/h. Calculate the a

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Average speed will be 48.23 km/h

Explanation:

Let the distance up to hill is = d km

Speed when car goes to hill = 38 km/h

So time required $t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{d}{38}hour$

Speed when car return from hill = 66 km/h

So time required to return fro hill $t=\frac{d}{66}h$

Total time $t_{total}=\frac{t}{38}+\frac{t}{66}$

Total distance = d+d =2d

So average speed $=\frac{total\ distance}{total\ time}=\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{38}+\frac{d}{66}}=48.23km/h$

We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. how much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun

galina1969 [7]

We know that the source of light in the universe is the Sun. Hence, the light we see as moonlight travels from the Sun's surface, to the moon, then to Earth. So, before being able to solve this problem, we have to know the distance between the Sun and the moon, and the distance between the moon and Earth. In literature, these values are 3.8×10⁵ km (Sun to moon) and 384,400 km (moon to Earth). Knowing that the speed of light is 300,000 km per second, then the total time would be

Time = distance/speed
Time = (3.8×10⁵ km + 384,400 km)/300,000 km/s
Time = 2.548 seconds

Thus, it only takes 2.548 for the light from the Sun to reach to the Earth as perceived to be what we call moonlight.

A certain spring stores 10.0J of potential energy when it isstretched by 2.00cm from its equilibrium position.How much potential

qaws [65]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

x= 0.02 m

E_p= 10.0 J

E_p= 0.5kx^2

10= 0.5k(0.02)^2

solving we get

K= 50.0 N/m

Now

E'_p= 0.5kx'^2

E'_p= 0.5×50×(0.04)^2

E'_p=40 J

b) potential energy is a scalar quantity and it only depends magnitude and not direction so it will remain same in compression and expansion both

c) 20 J = 0.5×50,000×x^2

solving

x= 0.028 m

d) k is 50.0 N/m from above calculation
