If she returned home by the same path 7 h 30 min after she left, what were her average speed and velocity in km/h for the entire
pentagon [3]

Answer:

speed  v = 0.148 m / s

velocity   v = 0

Explanation:

In this exercise we must be careful that the speed is a scalar and the speed is a vector, let's start by looking for the speed

           v = Δx /Δt

   

the distance traveled is x = 2d and the time taken is

           t = 7h 30 min

let's reduce to seconds

          t = 7 h 3600s / 1h + 30 min 60s / 1min = 27000 s

so the speed is

          v = 2d / 27000

to finish the calculation suppose a distance traveled d = 2000 m

          v = 2 2000/27000

          v = 0.148 m / s

this is the raides which is the speed module

Velocity is a vector,

          v = Dx / Dt

in this case the displacement is

           Dx = d -d

           Dx = 0

the total displacement is zero since it returns to the starting point, consequently the velocity is zero

          v = 0

bold is a vector

The three-toed sloth is the slowest moving land mammal. On the ground, the sloth moves at an average speed of 0.037 m/s, conside
Georgia [21]

Answer:

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth is 28.08 m further

Explanation:

given data

average speed v1 = 0.037 m/s

walking speed v2 = 0.076 m/s

time t = 12 min = 720 seconds

to find out

how much tortoise have gone wrt sloth

solution

we find here first tortoise walk that is

distance d1 = v2 × t

distance d1 =  0.076  × 720

distance d1 = 54.72 m

and sloth walk distance

distance d2 = v1 × t

distance d2 = 0.037 × 720

distance d2 = 26.64 m

and so

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth = d1 - d2

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth = 54.72 - 26.64 = 28.08

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth is 28.08 m further

78. A film of oil on water will appear dark when it is very thin, because the path length difference becomes small compared with
Hoochie [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the condition of path difference for destructive interference between the two reflected waves from the top and bottom of a surface.

Mathematically this expression can be described under the equation

\delta = 2nt

Where

n = Refractive index

t = Thickness

In terms of the wavelength the path difference of the reflected waves can be described as

\delta = \frac{\lambda}{4}

Where

\lambda = Wavelenght

Equation the two equations we have that

2nt = \frac{\lambda}{4}

t = \frac{\lambda}{8n}

Our values are given as

\lambda = 380nm \rightarrow Wavelength of light

n = 1.4

t = \frac{380nm}{8*1.4}

t = 33.93nm

Therefore the minimum thickness of the oil for destructive interference to occur is approximately 34.0 nm

A ferris wheel has a radius of 36 feet and completes one revolution every 5.4 minutes. what is the speed of the ferris wheel (in
KIM [24]
In order to find the speed per minute you will have to divide the two numbers together. You need to do 36/5.4 so the answer will be around 6.7 feet per minute.
