Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40 mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: $1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}$

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at $\frac{2}{7}$ , this means that $\frac{5}{7}$ of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if $\frac{5}{7}$ of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

$miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles$

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it ( $speed=\frac{distance}{time}$ ), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:

$time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{280 miles}{35 mph}$

time= 8 h

 The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Answer:

Option(a) is the correct answer to the given question .

Explanation:

The main objective of the angular momentum is evaluating however much the rotational movement as well as the angular velocity in the entity does have.The angular momentum is measured in terms of $kgm^{2 }\ / s$ .

In the given question the skateboarder rides quickly up the bottom of a bowl-shaped surface and climb into the air.it means it is rotational movement also it is not touching anything so it is angular momentum.
All the other option is incorrect because it is not follows the given scenario

The speed is 0.956 m / s.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is equal to the product of half of an object's mass, and the square of the velocity.

K.E = 1/2 $\times$ m $\times$ $v^{2}$

where K.E represents the kinetic energy,

m represents the mass,

v represents the velocity.

K.E = 1/2 $\times$ m $\times$ $v^{2}$

1.10 $\times$ 10^42 = 1/2 $\times$ 3.26 $\times$ 10^31 $\times$ $v^{2}$

$v^{2}$ = (1.10 $\times$ 10^42 $\times$ 2) / (3.26 $\times$ 10^31)

v = 0.956 m / s.

Sort these statements about machines based on whether they are correct or incorrect.

as well.

1. Correct

Explanation

An inclined plane is a flat surface which lie at an angle, Its one end is higher than the other this inclined plane is used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. Staircase also work in similar manner

2. Correct

Explanation

yes all simple machine have a fulcrum

3. Incorrect

Explanation

when we swim that time our arms and legs 'push' the water due to which water displaced in backward direction so her we applied a positive work on the water. According to Newton's Third Law,same magnitude of work is done by water in opposite direction to push us back on our arms and legs. therefore water also does positive work on us.

4. incorrect

Explanation

The force exerted by a machine on an object is input force

5. Incorrect

Explanation

when the input force is greater than the output force that time machine have mechanical advantage of less than 1.
