A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 94.5 km/h except for a 22.0 min rest stop. If the person's average speed

is 65.1 km/h, how much time is spent on the trip and how far does the person travel?

From the average speed you can fix an equation:

Average speed = distance / time

You know the average speed = 65.1 kg / h, then

65.1 = distance / total time,

where total time is the time traveling plus 22.0 minutes

Call t the time treavelling and pass 22 minutes to hours:

65.1 = distance / [t + 22/60] ==> distance = [t + 22/60]*65.1

 
From the constant speed, you can fix a second equation

Constant speed = distance / time traveling

94.5 = distance / t ==> distance = 94.5 * t

The distance is the same in both equations, then you have:

[t +22/60] * 65.1 = 94.5 t

Now you can solve for t.

65.1t + 22*65.1/60 = 94.5t

94.5t - 65.1t = 22*65.1/60

29.4t = 23.87

t = 23.87 / 29.4

t  = 0.812 hours

distance = 94.5 km/h * 0.812 h = 76.7 km

Answers: 1) 0.81 hours, 2) 76.7 km

You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is __________.
tatyana61 [14]

Given the following choices;

A) less than your true weight, mg.

B) equal to your true weight, mg.

C) more than your true weight, mg.

D) could be more or less than your true weight, mg, depending on the value of the speed.

The answer is; C

This is due to G-force. These are the perception of the weight of an object that is accelerating against gravity. We experience 1 g force on the surface of the earth because the ground exerts an upward exertion against gravity preventing as from falling to the center of the earth.
