A rural mail carrier logged the mileage on the odometer at the start of the mail route as 31,500 miles. After 6.5 hours, the carrier returned the truck and recorded the mileage at 31,713 miles. What was the average velocity of the mail truck? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: $32.77\ mi/hr$

Explanation:

Given

Initially Reading on the odometer is $31,500\ miles$

Final reading on the odometer is $31,713\ miles$

Time taken is $t=6.5\ hr$

average velocity $=\frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{time}}$

$v_(avg)=(31713-31500)/(6.5)$

$v_(avg)=(213)/(6.5)$

$v_(avg)=32.77\ mi/hr$

Thus the average velocity of mail truck is $32.77\ mi/hr$

Which describes why people on earth can see light from the stars in the sky that are so far away? A. Light from the stars is visible light and travels in longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light is reflected off particles of matter in space to be seen on the earth. B. Light from the stars is visible light and travels in electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light is reflected off particles of matter in space to be seen on the earth. C. Light from the stars is visible light and travels in electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel; therefore, light travels through the vacuum of space to be seen on the earth. D. Light from the stars is visible light and travels as surface to surface waves. Surface waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light travels from the surface of the star to the surface of the earth. C.?

The Law of Gravitation was mathematically defined by who?

Answer this please. thanks in advance!! please tel me a christmas tree lights are set up in series1. a set of lights has 50 bulbs what will be the voltage across each bulb?
show your working out.

Answers

If 50 identical light bulbs are connected in series across
a single power source, then the voltage across each bulb
is ( 1/50 ) of the voltage delivered by the power source.

Presuming that this tree is connected into a mains power source in the UK. The total output of the UK mains source is 230V. So if we share this voltage equally between 50 bulbs:
$230V / 50 = 4.6V$

I'm not 100 per cent sure this is correct though and different countries may have different mains power supplies. Hope it helps anyway.

EDIT: This also does not take into account resistance in the bulbs and wires but is all I can tell you from the information provided in the question.

The speed of light if 3 • 10^8 m/s. If the Venus is 30,220,000 mikes from Earth how long does it take for light to travel from Venus to earth?

Answers

Light takes 162.1 seconds to travel from Venus to earth.

Explanation:

Speed of light=3 x 10⁸ m/s

distance between Venus and earth =30,220,000 miles=48634375680 m

Now the distance is given by d= v t

d= distance

v= velocity

t= time

48634375680= 3 x 10⁸ t

t=162.1 s

Acoustics involves the study of _______ and the mediums through which they travel.A.Light waves
B.mechanical waves
C.electromagnetic waves
D.gamma rays

Answers

Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

Acoustic deals with the study of mechanical waves and the mediums through which they travel. It includes sound, infra sound, ultrasound and vibrations.

The mechanical wave is a wave which can travel through a material medium. It can travel through solid, liquid and gases. Sound is the mechanical vibrations of the particles of a gaseous medium.

Therefore, acoustic involves the study of mechanical waves and the mediums through which they travel.

the answers B,mechanical waves
