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

ibrate and the driver reduces the speed to 40 km/hr for the rest of the trip. The average speed for the entire trip is

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.

Suppose you have measured the diffraction pattern of a grating with d = 0.19 mm and have found that the spots were separated by
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

d = 0.076 mm

Explanation:

Given data

diffraction pattern d1 = 0.19 mm = 0.019 cm

separated s(1)  = 1.8 cm

separated s(2) = 4.5 cm

to find out

d2 for an unknown

solution

we know here that spacing in between the diffraction fringe is always inversely proportional to diffraction grating so

we will apply here formula for unknown d that is

d1 (s1 / L) = d2 (s2 /L)

d2  = d1 ×  s(1) / s(2)

put here all thes evalue we get d2

d2  = d1 ×  s(1) / s(2)

d2  = 0.019 ×  1.8  / 4.5

d2 = 0.0076 cm

d2 = 0.076 mm

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The terminal velocity of the diver is 115 m/s = 414 km/hr

Explanation:

At terminal velocity,

Fnet = mg - Fd = 0

Drag force, Fd = cρAv²/2

mg = cρAv²/2

Terminal Velocity of a body falling through a fluid as in a diver falling through air is given by

v = √(2mg/ρcA)

where m = mass of body falling through fluid = 80 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

ρ = density fluid, density of air, as obtained from literature = 1.21 kg/m³

c = coefficient of drag friction of diver falling through air, as obtained from literature = 0.7

A = the area of the diver facing the fluid = 0.14 m²

v = √(2mg/ρcA) = √((2 × 80 × 9.8)/(1.21 × 0.7 × 0.14)) = 115 m/s = 115 × (3600/1000) km/hr = 414 km/hr

Resonance structures have _______ connectivity of atoms and _______ distribution of electrons.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Resonance structures have <u> </u><u>same</u><u>  </u>  connectivity of atoms and <u> differ only in</u> distribution of electrons.

Explanation:

Atoms supply the electrons from their outer electron shells. Electrons are found free in nature and are grouped around the nucleus into shells. Electrons can be further explained as negatively charged subatomic particle. Electrons have properties of both particles and waves and they can be moved around.

Resonance structures are imaginary structures and not all of them are created equally. Resonance structures have two or more possible electron structures, and, the resonance structures for a particular substance sometimes have different energy and stability. When resonance structures are identical, they are important descriptions  of the molecule. The position of the atoms is the same in the various resonance structures of a compound, but the electrons are distributed differently around the structure.
