Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

<h3>What is the average speed of the train?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

Distance traveled = 221miles
Elapsed time = 3 hours and 40 minutes

First we convert miles to meters and Hours minutes to seconds.

221 miles = ( 221 × 1609.344 )m = 355665.024 meters

3 hours and 40 minutes = ( 3×60×60)s + ( 40×60)s

= 10800s + 2400s

= 13200s

Now, determine the average speed.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Speed = 355665.024m / 13200s

Speed = 26.944m/s

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

taurus [48]

Answer:

a. Speed = 1.6 m/s

b. Amplitude = 0.3 m

c. Speed = 1.6 m/s

Amplitude = 0.15 m

Explanation:

The frequency of the wave must be equal to the reciprocal of the time taken by the boat to move from the highest point to the highest point again. This time will be twice the value of the time taken to travel from the highest point to the lowest point:

frequency = $\frac{1}{2(2\ s)}$ = 0.25 Hz

The wavelength of the wave is the distance between consecutive crests of the wave. Therefore,

Wavelength = 6.4 m

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)

Speed = 1.6 m/s

Amplitude is the distance between the mean position of the wave and the extreme position. Hence, it will be half the distance between the highest and lowest point:

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.6 m)

Amplitude = 0.3 m

frequency = $\frac{1}{2(2\ s)}$ = 0.25 Hz

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)

Speed = 1.6 m/s

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.3 m)

Amplitude = 0.15 m

Which would best be explained using Newton's Third Law?

Maksim231197 [3]

A)a gun moves backward while firing a bullet.

Explanation:

A gun moving backward while firing a bullet is a good example of newton's third law in action.

Newton's third law of motion states that "Action and reaction forces are equal and opposite in direction".

In shooting a gun, the bullet pulls forward by the action of the recoil down the barrel. This is the action force. The backward pull of the gun is the reactive force.
