Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).
Distance covered = 437 km = 437,000 meters
Time to cover the distance = (7.27 hrs) x (3600 sec/hr) = 26,172 seconds
Average speed = (437,000 meters) / (26,172 seconds)
Average speed = 16.7 m/s
Answer:
The dart with the small mass will travel the farthest distance.
Explanation:
Acceleration is proportional to force times mass, and inertia is proportional to mass. Inertia is the reluctance of a moving body to stop, and a stationary body to start moving (inertia increses with mass). Assuming they both have the same aerodynamic design, and that they are both launched with the same force applied for the same time duration, the dart with less small mass will accelerate faster than the big mass dart. From this we can see that the small dart will have covered a longer distance before the effect of the force stops, when compared to the more massive dart.
Answer:
the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15
Explanation:
Given that;
speed of car V = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s
Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec
Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec
extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec
now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver will be'
S_d = V × 2.2 sec
S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec
S_d = 73.3333 m
hence, number of car of additional car length n will be;
n = S_n / car length
n = 73.3333 m / 5m
n = 14.666 ≈ 15
Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15
This is in the thermosphere which is at an altitude of 85-520km
