The average speed can be easily calculated by taking the ratio of distance and time. That is:

average speed = distance / time

so calculating:

average speed = 4875 ft / 6.85 minutes

average speed = 711.68 ft / min

Answer:

Speed of the runner is 8.08 miles per hour approximately.

Explanation:

Given:

A runner runs =4875 ft

Time Taken = 6.85 minutes.

To Find:

Average speed of the runner in miles per hour=?

Solution:

Distance = Speed x time

Conveting feet into miles:

=>Distance= $4875\times\frac{1}{5280}$ miles

=>Distance = 0.9232955 miles

Converting minutes into hours:

time = 6.85 minutes

=> $6.85\times \frac{1}{60}$ hours

=> $\frac{6.85}{60}$ = 0.1141667 hours.

Now, we know that, distance = speed x time

Then, 0.9232955 miles = speed x 0.1141667 hours

=>speed = $\frac{0.9232955}{0.1141667}$

=>speed = 8.08725749

An ocean liner is cruising at 10 meters/second and is about to approach a stationary ferryboat. A parcel is released from the oc

Afina-wow [57]

The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:

s = ut + 1/2 at²

where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity.

5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Now, we may use this time to determine the horizontal distance covered by the parcel by using:
distance = velocity * time

The horizontal velocity of the parcel will be equal to the horizontal velocity of the cruise liner.

Distance = 10 * 1.06
Distance = 10.6 meters

The boat should be 10.6 meters away horizontally from the point of release.

A solid steel cylinder is standing (on one of its ends) vertically on the floor. The length of the cylinder is 3.2 m and its rad

maksim [4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Young's Module and its respective mathematical and modular definitions. In other words, Young's Module can be expressed as

$\Upsilon = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Where,

F = Force/Weight

A = Area

$\Delta L$ = Compression

$L_0$ = Original Length

According to the values given we have to

$\Upsilon_{steel} = 200*10^9Pa$

$\Delta L = 5.6*10^{-7}m$

$L_0 = 3.2m$

$r= 0.59m \rightarrow A = \pi r^2 = \pi *0.59^2 = 1.0935m^2$

Replacing this values at our previous equation we have,

$\Upsilon = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

$200*10^9 = \frac{F/1.0935}{5.6*10^{-7}/3.2}$

$F = 38272.5N$

Therefore the Weight of the object is 3.82kN

A spaceship of frontal area 10 m2 moves through a large dust cloud with a speed of 1 x 106 m/s. The mass density of the dust is

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The decelerating force is $3\times 10^{- 11}\ N$

Solution:

As per the question:

Frontal Area, A = $10\ m^{2}$

Speed of the spaceship, v = $1\times 10^{6}\ m/s$

Mass density of dust, $\rho_{d} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\ kg/m^{3}$

Now, to calculate the average decelerating force exerted by the particle:

$Mass,\ m = \rho_{d}V$ (1)

Volume, $V = A\times v\times t$

Thus substituting the value of volume, V in eqn (1):

$m = \rho_{d}(Avt)$

where

A = Area

v = velocity

t = time

$m = \rho_{d}(A\times v\times t)$ (2)

$Momentum,\ p = \rho_{d}(Avt)v = \rho_{d}Av^{2}t$

From Newton's second law of motion:

$F = \frac{dp}{dt}$

Thus differentiating w.r.t time 't':

$F_{avg} = \frac{d}{dt}(\rho_{d}Av^{2}t) = \rho_{d}Av^{2}$

where

$F_{avg}$ = average decelerating force of the particle

Now, substituting suitable values in the above eqn:

$F_{avg} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\times 10\times 1\times 10^{6} = 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N$

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match the sentences with the steps of the scientific method

Assoli18 [71]

Solution:

Make an Observation - An indoor plant in a dark room withers faster than the same plant in a room with ample sunlight.

Ask a question- Why do certain indoor plants die faster based on where they are placed in the house?

State a hypothesis- Sunlight is probably essential for plants to grow and live.

Run an experiment- Get two potted plants. Cover one with black paper. Place both plants outside in sunlight. See what happens to each plant after one week.

Analyze the results-The plant in the pot with black paper withered. The other plant was healthy.

Communicate the results to others - Plants need sunlight to make food so they can live.

A plane has an average air speed (this is the speed the plane moves through air) of 750 mph. The plane flies a route of 5000 mil

Digiron [165]

Answer:

6 hours 15 minutes

Explanation:

On the trip from L.A. to London, the plane travels at 750 mph against a headwind of 50 mph, and that makes the net 700 mph (in aviation speak, 750 is the airspeed, while 700 is the groundspeed). 5000 miles divided by 700 mph results in about 7.14 hours, or about 7 hours and 9 minutes. On the return trip, ASSUMING THE SAME WIND, the plane travels at 750 mph, but this time the wind of 50 mph is a tail wind. So the net (groundspeed) is 800 mph. Traveling 5000 miles at 800 mph only takes 6.25 hours, or 6 hours and 15 minutes.

Outbound flight 7 hours 9 minutes

Return flight 6 hours 15 minutes
