An automobile covered the distance of 240 km between A and B with a certain speed. On its way back, the automobile covered half of the distance at the same speed and for the rest of the trip he increased his speed by 10 km/hour. As a result, the drive back took him 2 5 of an hour less than the drive from A to B. What was the automobile’s speed when it was driving from A to B?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Therefore the speed of automobile when it was driving from A to B was 50 km/ h.

Explanation:

Given that,

An automobile covered the distance of 240 km between A and B with a certain speed.

Let the speed of the automobile be x km/hour.

We know that,

$Time =(distance)/(speed)$

Time taken to travel from A to B point is $=(240)/(x)$ hours.

On its back, the automobile covered half of distance= 120 km at the same speed and for the trip he increased his speed 10 km/hour.

Time taken to complete the trip is

$=((120)/(x)+(120)/(x+10))$ hours

The driver took $\frac25$ of an hour less when he come back.

According to problem,

$(240)/(x)-((120)/(x)+(120)/(x+10))=\frac25$

$\Rightarrow(240)/(x)- (120)/(x)-(120)/(x+10)=\frac25$

$\Rightarrow(240-120)/(x)-(120)/(x+10)=\frac25$

$\Rightarrow(120)/(x)-(120)/(x+10)=\frac25$

$\Rightarrow(120(x+10)-120x)/(x(x+10))=\frac25$

$\Rightarrow(120x+1200-120x)/(x^2+10x)=\frac25$

$\Rightarrow(1200)/(x^2+10x)=\frac25$

$\Rightarrow 2(x^2+10x)=1200* 5$

$\Rightarrow (x^2+10x)=(1200* 5)/(2)$

$\Rightarrow (x^2+10x)=3000$

$\Rightarrow x^2+10x-3000=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2+60x-50x-3000=0$

⇒x(x+60)-50(x+60)=0

⇒(x+60)(x-50)=0

⇒x= -60, 50

The speed could not negative.

So, x=50

Therefore the speed of automobile when it was driving from A to B was 50 km/ h.

A disk-shaped space station 175 m in diameter spins uniformly about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disk through its center. How many rpm (rev/min) must this disk make so that the acceleration of all points on its rim is g/2?

Answers

The angular velocity of the disk must be 2.25 rpm

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of an object in circular motion is given by

$a=\omega^2 r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r is the distance of the object from the axis of rotation

For the space station in this problem, we have

$a=(g)/(2)=(9.8)/(2)=4.9 m/s^2$ is the centripetal acceleration

The diameter of the disk is

d = 175 m

So the radius is

$r=(175)/(2)=87.5 m$

So, a point on the rim has a distance of 87.5 m from the axis of rotation. Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the angular velocity:

$\omega = \sqrt{(a)/(r)}=\sqrt{(4.9)/(87.5)}=0.237 rad/s$

And this is the angular velocity of any point along the disk. Converting into rpm,

$\omega=0.236 (rad)/(s)\cdot (60 s/min)/(2\pi rad/rev)=2.25 rpm$

This is a Upside down Glass of Water Experiment

Explanation:

if I interpret the graphic correctly, then there is a basin fully filled with water on the left, then a piece of paper of a piece of glass, where the paper is in contract with the water on the left, and some water is delivered to the right.

then i suspect this shows the capillary effect of very narrow channels of water. like in the very tiny spaces between the fibers of the paper. as long as the paper is in contact with the water on the left, and the level of water is there higher than on the right, the surface tension of water kind of propels itself further along these narrow channels in the paper and supported by gravity and air pressure it drops even into the other side.

How many grams is 5kg of tap water?

Answers

When you write "5 kg", the little 'k' in the middle stands for 1,000.
So '5 kg' means '5,000 g'.

It doesn't matter what substance you're working with. It could be
tap-water, gold, air, or mud. 5 kg of it is still 5,000 grams of it.
