Answer:

The average speed for the entire trip is 56 miles/hour.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initially, the car moves with a speed of, v₁ = 40 miles/hour

Initial time, t₁ = 0.5 hours

Distance covered during time t₁,

d_1=v_1t_1

d_1=40\times 0.5

d_1=20\ miles

Then it travels with a speed of, v₂ = 60 miles/hour

Then time taken, t₂ = 2 hours

Distance covered during time t₂,

d_2=v_2t_2

d_2=60\times 2

d_2=120\ miles

The average speed of the car can be calculated as :

v=\dfrac{d_1+d_2}{t_1+t_2}

v=\dfrac{120+20}{0.5+2}

v = 56 miles/hour

So, the average speed of the car for the entire trip is 56 miles/hour. Hence, this is the required solution.

Leto [7]
<span>The question is asking us what is BEST to say about a runner who is running at a constant velocity? A constant velocity (=speed) means that they are not getting faster or slower - they are running exactly as fast all the time. This meanst that their speed does not change, so their change of speed is equal to 0. A change of speed is called acceleration so their C. Their acceleration is zero. - C is the correct answer. </span>

vA child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0
ikadub [295]

Answer:

d = 2.26 km

Explanation:

Let the child is moving with speed same as the speed of water flow

So here the position of child with respect to flow must be zero

And if the boat start at an angle with the vertical

so its relative speed with flow of water is given as

v_x = 24.8 sin\theta

v_y = 24.8 cos\theta

now the time to reach the child is given as

\frac{0.6}{24.8 cos\theta} = \frac{2.5}{24.8 sin\theta }

so now we have

\theta = 76.5 degree

So the time to catch the child is given as

t = \frac{0.6}{24.8 cos78.2}

t = 0.104 h

So distance moved by it in 0.104 h

distance moved by the boat in upstream direction given as

x = (24.8 sin 74.8 - 3.1)(0.104)

x = 2.18 km

In y direction the displacement of boat is

y = 0.6 km

net displacement of the ball is given as

d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

d = \sqrt{2.18^2 + 0.6^2}

d = 2.26 km
