Answer:

78 km/h

Explanation:

If I normally drive a 12 hour trip at an average speed of 100 km/h, my destination has a total distance of:

  • 100 km/h · 12 h = 1,200 km

Today, I drive the first 2/3 of the distance at 116 km/h. Let's first calculate what 2/3 of the normal distance is.

  • 1,200 * 2/3 = 800 km

I've driven 800 km already. I need to drive 400 km more to reach my final destination. I need to figure out my average speed during this last 1/3 of the distance.

To do this, I first need to calculate how much time I spent driving 116 km/h for the past 800 km.

  • 116 km/1 h = 800 km/? h
  • 800 = 116 · ?
  • ? = 800/116
  • ? = 6.89655172

I spent 6.89655172 hours driving during the first 2/3 of the distance.

Now, I need to subtract this value from 12 hours to find the remaining time I have left.

  • 12 h - 6.89655172 h = 5.10344828 h  

Using this remaining time and my remaining distance, I can calculate my average speed.

  • ? km/1 hr = 400 km/5.10344828 h
  • 5.10344828 · ? = 400
  • ? = 400/5.10344828
  • ? = 78.3783783148  

My average speed during the last third of the distance is around 78 km/h.

Sarah weighs 500 newtons. She climbs a set of stairs 6 meters high. How much work does she do? 83 J Work equals force times dist
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

<em>Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By A Force

When some force \vec F is applied and a displacement \vec r is achieved, the work done by the force is given by

W=\vec F \cdot \vec r

Note that the work is a scalar magnitude as the result of the dot-product of two vectors. If the force and the displacement are parallel, then the vectors can be replaced as its magnitudes F,x and the work is

W=F.x

The dot product becomes a simple arithmetic product, i.e force times distance.

Sara weighs 500 Nw and she climbs up a 6 meter set of stairs. She needs to lift her weight up, so the force is the weight and the distance is the height of the stairs, thus

W=500\ Nw.\ 6\ m=3,000\ Joule

Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J
