A car moves uphill at 40 km/h and then back downhill at 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=48km/h$

Explanation:

Ok, the average speed can be calculate with the next equation:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{Total\hspace{3}distance}{Total\hspace{3}time}$ (1)

Basically the car cover the same distance "d" two times, but at different speeds, so:

$Total\hspace{3}distance=2*d$

and the total time would be the time t1 required to go from A to B plus the time t2 required to go back from B to A:

$Total\hspace{3}time=t1+t2$

From basic physics we know:

$t=\frac{d}{S1}$

so:

$t1=\frac{d}{S1}$

$t2=\frac{d}{S2}$

Using the previous information in equation (1)

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d}{S1} +\frac{d}{S2} }=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d*S2+d*S1}{S1+S2} }$

Factoring:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*S1*S2}{S1+S2}$ (2)

Finally, replacing the data in (2)

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*40*60}{60+40} =48km/h$

Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities

Natali5045456 [20]

Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 20 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.2 A, the other a current of 5.9 A. (a) If the

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: $1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

Explanation:

Given

Current in the first wire $I_1=2.2\ A$

Current in the second wire $I_2=5.9\ A$

wires are $20\ cm$ apart

Force per unit length between the current-carrying wires is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}$

Force exerted by the wires is the same

Put the values

$\Rightarrow \frac{F}{l}=f=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.2\times 5.9}{2\pi \times 0.2}=1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

This force will be repulsive in nature as the current is flowing opposite

Two advantages of solar energy over energy from Fossil fuels

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1)Fuel Sourcing

2)Power Generation

Explanation:

1)Fuel Sourcing : Fossil fuels must be located, excavated and transported before they can be used. These processes are invasive and detrimental to the land through side effects such as erosion as well as ecological and geologic instability. Then the deposit or well is depleted. Energy from the sun is infinite and free. It can be harnessed and turned into power anywhere a solar panel can be mounted.

2)Power Generation: Fossil fuels must be burned to produce electricity. Burning them creates unwanted byproducts that can create air and water pollution and release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

A soccer player carries the ball for a distance of 40.0 m in the direction 42.0° west of south. find the westward component of t

Maksim231197 [3]

Actually what the problem meant about the westward component of the ball’s displacement is the horizontal component of the displacement. To help us better understand the problem, I attached a figure of the situation.

We can see from the figure that to solve for the value of the horizontal component, we have to make use of the sin function. That is:

sin θ = side opposite to the angle / hypotenuse of the triangle

sin 42 = x / 40 m

x = (40 m) sin 42

x = 26.77 m

Therefore the ball has a westward displacement of about 26.77 m
