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 .

There are a total of 15 dimes and quarters in a covered cup. The value of all 15 coins totals 2.85
QveST [7]

Answer:

There are 6 dimes and 9 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of dimes and the number of quarters by d and q.

Then d + q = 15, or q = 15 - d.

Also, ($0.25)q + ($0.10)d = $2.85, or 5q + 2d = 57.

Substituding 15 - d for q, we get 5(15 - d) + 2d = 57, or

75 - 5d + 2d = 57, or

75 - 3d = 57, or

3d = 18.  Thus, there are 6 dimes.  Since q = 15 - d, q = 15 - 6 = 9.

There are 6 dimes and 9 quarters.

Write<br> 83<br> 50<br> as a decimal.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

0.83,0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 2 digits in 83, the very last digit is the "100th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .83 is the same as 83/100.

So your final answer is: .83 can be written as the fraction

Divide 4^2/4^6
deff fn [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

=  {4}^{2}  \div  {4}^{6}

=  {4}^{2 - 6}

=  {4}^{ - 4}

Option → C

\:

=  {4}^{ - 4}

=  \frac{1}{ {4}^{4} }

=  \frac{1}{4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4}

=  \frac{1}{256}

Option → A

Study the exercises in which both addends are negative. What do you notice about the sum?
Sav [38]
This question would be a lot better if you had actually included the exercises. When a question talks about other questions that you already did, you need to include those too. Otherwise we don't know what the question is talking about. Fortunately I was able to figure it out without seeing the exercises, but just for future reference, you should include that extra information.

When two addends(things you add together) are negative, adding them is a lot like adding positive numbers; you just have a negative sign on the sum. For example,
4 + 5 = 9
-4 + -5 = -9
