A student drives 4.8-km trip to school and averages a speed of 22.6 m/s. on the return trip home, the student travels with an av

erage speed of 16.8 m/s over the same distance. what is the average speed (in m/s) of the student for the two-way trip? (be careful.)

In this case, we cannot simply take the average speed by adding the two speeds and divide by two.

What we have to do is to calculate the time required going to school and the return trip home.

We know that to calculate time, we use the formula:

t = d / v

where,

d = distance = 4.8 km = 4800 m

v = velocity

 

Let us say that the variables related to the trip going to school is associated with 1, and the return trip home is 2. So,

 

t1 = 4800 m / (22.6 m / s)

t1 = 212.39 s

 

t2 = 4800 / (16.8 m / s)

t2 = 285.71 s

 

total time, t = t1 + t2

t = 498.1 s

 

Therefore the total average velocity is:

= (4800 m + 4800 m) / 498.1 s

= 19.27 m / s = 19.3 m / s

 

Answer:

19.3 m/s

Answer: 19.3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Distance between home and school = 4.8 km= 4800 meters

(∵ 1 km= 1000 meters)

Formula to calculate time :

\text{Time} =\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

From home to school ,

Distance= 4800 m

Speed = 22.6 m/s.

\text{Time} =\dfrac{4800}{22.6}=\dfrac{24000}{113}\ sec

From school to home ,

Distance= 4800 m

Speed = 16.8 m/s.

\text{Time} =\dfrac{4800}{16.8}=\dfrac{12000}{41}\ sec

Now, the average speed (in m/s) of the student for the two-way trip is given by :-

\dfrac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}\\\\=\dfrac{4800+4800}{\dfrac{24000}{113}+\dfrac{12000}{14}}\\\\=\dfrac{9600}{498.10}\approx19.3\ m/s

Hence, the average speed (in m/s) of the student for the two-way trip= 19.3 m/s .

Answer:

15.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to find the length of the missing side

Mathematically, we can use Pythagoras’ theorem

The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the missing side be x

18 is the side that faces right angle and this is the hypotenuse

Thus, we have ;

x^2 + 9^2 = 18^2

x^2 = 324 - 81

x^2 = 243

x = √(243)

x = 15.6 in

How is the answer 35? How do I get it?
vlabodo [156]
I think it's -35. The steps to get that number is subtracting the 3 to the right side. Then you have -2 - 3 which equals to -5. Then you still have x/7= -5. Get rid of 7 from the x and do the same thing to the other side but you multiply 7 and -5. Last you your would be x= -35.
