a) Average velocity for her run north: 2.68 m/s north

b) The average velocity for the whole trip is zero

c) The average speed for the whole trip is 1.95 m/s

Explanation:

a)

In this part of the problem we only want to consider the part when Micha is running north.

The average velocity is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement (a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion)

t is the time

For the part running north, we have

d=2 mil \cdot 1609 = 3218 m north is the displacement

t = 20 min \cdot 60 = 1200 s is the time interval

Substituting,

v=\frac{3218}{1200}=2.68 m/s north (we have to specify also the direction, since velocity is a vector)

b)

As we said, average velocity is given by

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time

If we consider the whole trip, however, the displacement is zero:

d = 0

Because Micha returns home, so the initial position corresponds to the final position of motion. Therefore, the average velocity is also zero:

v = 0

c)

The average speed is given by

s=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the  distance covered (the total length of the path, regardless of the direction)

t is the time interval

Since MIcha ran 2 miles north and then 2 miles back, the total distance is

d=2 mi + 2mi = 4 mi \cdot 1609 = 6436 m

And the time taken is

t=20 min + 15 min + 20 min = 55 min \cdot 60 = 3300 s

So, the average speed is

s=\frac{6436}{3300}=1.95 m/s

And since speed is a scalar, there is no need to specify a direction.

Vector vector a has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. when vector vector b is added to vector a ,
Nutka1998 [239]
Good morning.

We have:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a} = 29\overset{\to}{j}}

Where j is the unitary vector in the direction of the y-axis.

We have that 

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}+\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j}}

We add the vector -a to both sides:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -\overset{\to}{a} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -29\overset{\to}{j}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}=-47\overset{\to}{j}}


Therefore, the magnitude of b is 47 units.

A car on the roller coaster begins with 0j of kinetic energy and 12,928j of potential energy and finishes the track with 3,715j
andre [41]

Answer:

9213 J

Explanation:

Change in Kinetic energy = Change in Potential energy

= 12,928J - 3715J

=9213 J
