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 .

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. The highest speed measured was 72.6 Mbp
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a. 54.05 Mpbs.

b. 2.745... standard deviations.

c. The z-score is 2.745....

d. The carrier's highest data speed is significantly high.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The difference between the highest measured data speed and the mean is 72.6 - 18.55 =  54.05 Mbps.

b. The amount of standard deviations of 54.05 Mbps is equal to this value divided by the standard deviations, so we yield \frac{54.05}{19.69} = 2.745... standard deviations.

c. The z-score is equal to the difference between the mean and a data point in standard deviations, so the z-score is 2.745....

d. 2.745... is not between -2 and 2, so the carrier's highest data speed is not insignificant - so it's significantly high.

The triathletes were offered water as they rode by the volunteer station. The volunteers handed them cones with the dimensions s
sladkih [1.3K]

Considering the volume of the cone, it is found that each triathlete sloshed out 9.5 cm³ of water.

<h3>What is the volume of a cone?</h3>


The volume of a cone of <u>radius r and height h</u> is given by:

V = 1/3 x r² x h

In this problem, the radius and the height are given as follows:

r = 3.5 cm, h = 7 cm.

Hence the total volume is:

V = 1/3 x 3.5² x 7 = 28.6 cm³

The triathletes sloshed out 1/3 of that, hence:

1/3 x 28.6 = 9.5 cm³.
