A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.10 m/s along a straight line from point circled a to point circled b and then back

along the line from circled b to circled a at a constant speed of 2.75 m/s. (a) what is her average speed over the entire trip? 3.57 correct: your answer is correct. m/s

Average speed = total distance / time

1) Distance from A to B

Distance = velocity * time  = V1 * t1 = 5.10 t1

2) Distance from B to A

Distance = velocity * time  = V2*t 2 = 2.75 t2

Distance from A to B = distance from B to A => 5.10t1 = 2.75t2

=> t2 = 5.10t1 / 2.75

3) Average speed = total distance / total time =

total distance = 2 * 5.10 t1 = 10.20 t1

Average speed = [10.20 t1] / [t1 + 5.10 t1 / 2.75]

As you see t1 is factor for the three terms, so you can simplify it

=> Average speed = [10.20 ] / [1 + 5.10/2.75] = 3.57 m/s

Answer: 3.57 m/s

The answer and how to do it
Arturiano [62]
Current = charge per second
2 Coulombs per second = 2 Amperes

Potential difference = (current)x(resistance) in volts.

That's (2 Amperes) x (2 ohms).

That's how to do it.
I think you can find the answer now.

Tanzania [10]
If you increase the mass m of the car, the force F will increase, while acceleration a is kept constant. Because F and m are directly proportional.
If you increase the acceleration a of the car, the force F will increase, while mass m is kept constant. Because F and a are directly proportional.

How can Newton's laws be verified experimentally; is by setting this experiment, and changing one variable while keeping the other constant, then observe the change in F.

Hope this helps.

A force of 20 N acts toward the east. Another force of 27 N acts at the same point toward the west. What is the magnitude and di
Jet001 [13]
Since we are working in one dimension (left right or East West), we don't need to worry about angles! It's just simply a matter of adding things up!

First list out all the forces and add negative (-ive) signs to each of the 'west' forces like this.

20 East + (-27 West) + ? = 10 East

so it's easy to see that 20 + (-27) = -7
So to get to 10 from -7 just do the sum to get 17.
Since 17 is not negative it must be in the direction of East.
So the answer is:
Magnitude = 17 N
Direction = toward the East
