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.

Is 2/2 1 or 0? please help lol
Komok [63]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for such mathematical operations, we can wee that the slash represents a fraction or a division, say 8 ÷ 4 = 2, 6 ÷ 3 = 2, 20 ÷ 4 = 5, etc. In such a way, since the operation 2/2, represents 2 ÷ 2, it is clear that two is once in 2, therefore, the result is:

2 ÷ 2 = 1.

Best regards!

Why would we expect protogalactic clouds with relatively high density to form an elliptical galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy?
Svetlanka [38]

The higher density allows the protogalactic clouds to cool faster and form an elliptical galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy.

In physical cosmology, a protogalaxy or protogalactic cloud , which could also be called a "primeval galaxy", is a cloud of gas which is forming into a galaxy. It is believed that the rate of star formation during this period of galactic evolution will determine whether a galaxy is a spiral or elliptical galaxy; a slower star formation tends to produce a spiral galaxy. The smaller clumps of gas in a protogalaxy form into stars.

Composition

Since there had been no previous star formation to create other elements, protogalaxies would have been made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. The hydrogen would bond to form H2 molecules, with some exceptions. This would change as star formation began and produced more elements through the process of nuclear fusion.

Mechanics

Once a protogalaxy begins to form, all particles bound by its gravity begin to free fall towards it. The time taken for this free-fall to conclude can be approximated using the free-fall equations. Most galaxies have completed this free-fall stage to become stable elliptical or disk galaxies, the disks taking longer to fully form. The formation of galaxy clusters takes much longer and is still in progress now.

This stage is also where galaxies acquire most of their angular momentum. A protogalaxy acquires this due to gravitational influence from neighbouring dense clumps in the early universe, and the further the gas is away from the centre, the more spin it gets.

Coherent light with wavelength 540 nm passes through narrow slits with a separation of 0.370 mm .Part AAt a distance from the sl
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The phase difference between waves 31.7 rad

Explanation:

Given :

Wavelength \lambda = 540 \times 10^{-9} m

Separation between two slit d = 0.370 \times 10^{-3} m

Angle \theta = 25°

From the formula of phase difference,

  \delta = \frac{2\pi d }{\lambda}  \sin \theta

Where \delta = phase difference

\delta = \frac{2 \times \pi \times 0.370 \times 10^{-3} }{540 \times 10^{-9} } \sin 25

\delta = 31.7 rad

Therefore, the phase difference between waves 31.7 rad

The Magnetic Field in a current carrying wire comes due to flow of electricity . But does the field generate or comes in simulat
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Electric current produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field can be visualized as a pattern of circular field lines surrounding a wire. ... Magnetic Field Generated by Current: (a) Compasses placed near a long straight current-carrying wire indicate that field lines form circular loops centered on the wire.
