10. Suppose the tern travels 1.70*10^ km south, only to encounter bad weatherInstead of trying to fly around the stormthe tem tu

ms around and travels 6.00 * 10 ^ 2 10'north wait out the stormIt then tums around again immediately and flies 144 to Antarctica What are the average speed and velocity if it makes this in 122 days ?

We can define average speed as the quotient between the whole distance traveled and the time it takes to travel that distance, and the velocity as the quotient between the displacement and the time it takes to displace that quantity.

We will find that:

Average speed =  2.6×10^2 km/day

Velocity = 2.52×10^2 km/day

So we know that:

The tent travels:

1.70×10^4 km to the south

6.00×10^2 km to the north

1.44×10^4 km to the south.

The total distance traveled is just the sum of the 3 above distances:

total distance = 1.70×10^4 km +  6.00×10^2 km + 1.44×10^4 km

Notice that the second term has a different exponent than the others, so to have the same exponent we can write:

6.00×10^2 km = 0.06×10^4 km

Now we get:

total distance = 1.70×10^4 km + 0.06×10^4 km + 1.44×10^4 km

total distance = (1.70 + 0.06 + 1.44)×10^4 km

<u>total distance = 3.2×10^4 km</u>

And it travels that distance in 122 days, then the average speed is:

AS = (3.2×10^4 km)/(122 days) = 2.6×10^2 km/day

Now we need to find the displacement, which is the difference between the final position and the initial position, the displacement will just be:

d =  1.70×10^4 km - 0.06×10^4 km + 1.44×10^4 km

(We add the distance traveled to south and subtract the distance that it travels due north)

d = (1.70 - 0.06 + 1.44)×10^4 km = 3.08×10^4 km

Then the velocity will be:

v = (3.08×10^4 km)/(122 days) = 2.52×10^2 km/day

Because we defined south as positive and north as negative, having a positive velocity means that the direction of the <u>velocity is due south.</u>

erik [133]

Answer:

Initial pressure = 6 atm. Work = 0.144 J

Explanation:

You need to know the equation P1*V1=P2*V2, where P1 is the initial pressure, V1 is the initial volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume respectively. So you can rearrange the terms and find that (1.2*0.05)/(0.01) = initial pressure = 6 atm. The work done by the system can be obtained calculating the are under the curve, so it is 0.144J

Why is the solar system commonly represented as a scale model?
topjm [15]
The actual size of the Solar system is too big to show without making a much smaller model. If someone wants to see the orientation of the planets a model has to be made so we can see it without flying out too space.
