Answer:

Given:

Distance = 35200 miles, time = 2 hr.

So we know = 35200/ 2, = 17600 miles / hr.

If you mean what is it’s speed per hours (mph)

35,200/2

= 17,600 miles per hour

A runner begins running at the beginning of 7th period and stops running at the end of the period. She runs at a pace of 10 km/h

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

She run for, t = 0.92 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The velocity of the runner, v = 10 km/h

The distance covered by the runner, d = 9.2 km

The relationship between the velocity, displacement and time is given by the formula,

t = d / v

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

t = 9.2 / 10

= 0.92 s

Hence, she ran for, t = 0.92 s

Atmospheric pressure and density at the top of Mount Everest

Art [367]

The summit of Mount Everest has an average pressure around 30 kPa. ... A barometer also measures variations in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, the density of air decreases, and the pressure of the air decreases as well.

A car travels a distance of 100 km. For the first 30 minutes it is driven at a constant speed of 80 km/hr. The motor begins to v

gregori [183]

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the distance traveled by the car in the first 30 minutes, $d_{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

Notice that the unit measurement for speed, in this case, is km/hr. Thus, a unit conversion of from minutes into hours is required before proceeding with the calculation, as shown below

$d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ \text{speed} \ \times \ \text{time taken} \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 80 \ \text{km h}^{-1} \ \times \ \left(\displaystyle\frac{30}{60} \ \text{h}\right) \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 80 \ \text{km h}^{-1} \ \times \ 0.5 \ \text{h} \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 40 \ \text{km}$

Now, it is known that the car traveled 40 km for the first 30 minutes. Hence, the remaining distance, $d_{\text{remain}}$ , in which the driver reduces the speed to 40km/hr is

$d_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 100 \ \text{km} \ - \ 40 \ \text{km} \\ \\ \\ d_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 60 \ \text{km}$ .

Subsequently, we would also like to know the time taken for the car to reach its destination, denoted by $t_{\text{remian}}$ .

$t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \\ \\ \\ t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{60 \ \text{km}}{40 \ \text{km hr}^{-1}} \\ \\ \\ t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 1.5 \ \text{hours}$ .

Finally, with all the required values at hand, the average speed of the car for the entire trip is calculated as the ratio of the change in distance over the change in time.

$\text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{100 \ \text{km}}{(0.5 \ \text{hr} \ + \ 1.5 \ \text{hr})} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{100 \ \text{km}}{2 \ \text{hr}} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ 50 \ \text{km hr}^{-1}$

Therefore, the average speed of the car is 50 km/hr.

Which statement correctly compares ultraviolet light to visible light? Ultraviolet light has both a lower frequency and longer w

Effectus [21]

The correct statement is

Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.

because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)

we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.

Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater
