Suppose you average 75 MPH over the first halfof a drive, and your average speed for the entiredrive is 60 MPH. What was your av

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

x = 45 MPH

Explanation:

given,

Average speed of the first half = 75 MPH

Average speed of entire ride = 60 MPH

Average speed of the second half = ?

let the average speed of the second half = x MPH

now,

average of entire ride is given as 60 mph so,

$\dfrac{75+x}{2} = 60$

$75+x= 2\times 60$

75 + x = 120

x = 120 -75

x = 45 MPH

hence, the average speed of the second half comes out to be 45 MPH.

If some electrons are transferred from object A to object B,

Igoryamba

Answer: A. Object A will have a positive charge.

Explanation: If the number of protons and electrons are the same, their net charges cancel each other out, and you have a neutral charge. If electrons are transferred to another object, the amount of positive charge will outweigh the amount of negative charge. As a result, you are left with an overall positive charge in object A. Meanwhile, object B is now negative.

Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. The temperature of the gaseous plan

lianna [129]

Answer: E. 450 K

Explanation:

It is given that the temperature of the gaseous planet is linearly related with height of the atmosphere. we can write this in the mathematical equation:

y = m x +c

where y is the temperature values, x is height, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. we have been given two sets of value in the image, using which we can find the value of slope in y-intercept.

at x = 18.40 km, y = 147.54 K

⇒147.54 = 18.40 m + c

⇒c = 147.54 - 18.40 m ..(1)

at x =78.11 km, y = 567.00 K

⇒567.00 =78.11 m + c ..(2)

Put equation 1 in 2 and solve:

⇒567.00 =78.11 m + 147.54 - 18.40 m

⇒419.46 = 59.71 m

⇒ m =419.46 ÷59.71 = 7.025 K/km

c = 147.54 - 18.40 × 7.025 = 18.28 K

At height, x = 61.5 km the approximate temperature is :

y = 7.025 K/km × 61.5 km + 18.28 K = 450.3 K

Thus, the approximate temperature at altitude 61.5 km is 450 K.
