<h3>Deniel's average speed for the total</h3><h3>distance is 3.6 mph</h3>

Average speed is difined as the total distance travelled divided by the total time required to cover the distance. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

$Ave. Speed = \frac{Total distance }{Total time}$

To obtain the average speed of Daniel, we shall determine the distance travelled in each case. This is illustrated below:

Speed 1 (S₁) = 6 mph

Time 1 (t₁) = 0.8 h.

<h3>Distance 1 (D₁) =? </h3>

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\\\S_{1} = \frac{D_{1}}{t_{1}} \\\\6 = \frac{D_{1}}{0.8}$

Cross multiply

D₁ = 6 × 0.8

Speed 2 (S₂) = 2 mph

Time 2 (t₂) = 1.2 h.

<h3>Distance 2 (D₂) =? </h3>

$S_{2} = \frac{D_{2}}{t_{2}}\\\\2 = \frac{D_{2}}{1.2}$

Cross multiply

D₂ = 2 × 1.2

Next, we shall determine the total time. This can be obtained as follow:

Time 1 (t₁) = 0.8 h.

Time 2 (t₂) = 1.2 h.

<h3>Total time (T) =? </h3>

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 0.8 + 1.2

Next, we shall determine the total distance. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance 1 (D₁) = 4.8 mile

Distance 2 (D₂) = 2.4 mile

<h3>Total distance (D) =?</h3>

D = D₁ + D₂

D = 4.8 + 2.4

Finally, we shall determine the average speed of Daniel. This can be obtained as follow:

Total time = 2 h

Total distance = 7.2 mile

<h3>Average speed =?</h3>

$Ave. speed = \frac{Total distance }{Total time} \\\\Ave. speed = \frac{7.2 }{2}$

<h3>Average speed = 3.6 mph</h3><h3 />

Therefore, the average speed of Daniel is 3.6 mph

An LDR's resistance changes with light intensity, while a thermistor's resistancce changes with temperature.

In dark, LDR's resistance is large and in the day/light LDR's resistance is small.

At low temperature, thermistor's resistance is large, while at large temperature it resistance is small.

In an LDR Resistance increases as light intensity falls, while in a thermistor resistance falls as temperature falls.

A 0.0450 kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 425 m/s in a 2.25 kg rifle (which is inititally at rest). The pain of

Mrac [35]

Answer:

If the rifle is held loosely away from the shoulder, the recoil velocity will be of -8.5 m/s, and the kinetic energy the rifle gains will be 81.28 J.

Explanation:

By momentum conservation, <em>and given the bullit and the recoil are in a straight line</em>, the momentum analysis will be <em>unidimentional</em>. As the initial momentum is equal to zero (the masses are at rest), we have that the final momentum equals zero, so

$0=P_{f}=m_{b} *v_{b}+m_{r}*v_{r}$

now we clear $v_{r}$ and use the given data to get that

$v_{r}=-8.5\frac{m}{s}$

<em>But we have to keep in mind that the bullit accelerate from rest to a speed of 425 m/s</em>, then <u>if the rifle were against the shoulder, the recoil velocity would be a fraction of the result obtained</u>, but, as the gun is a few centimeters away from the shoulder, it is assumed that the bullit get to its final velocity, so the kick of the gun, gets to its final velocity $\bold{v_{r}}$ too.

Finally, using $v_{r}$ we calculate the kinetic energy as

$K=\frac{1}{2}m_{r}v_{r}^{2}=81.28J$
