A squirrel is running a race where she is on track for her average velocity to be 6.0 m/s. She is distracted by a dummy of an at

tractive male squirrel and pauses for 3.0 s. As a result her average velocity ends up being 5.0 m/s instead. What is the length of the race? [HINT: construct two equations with the same two unknowns in them and you can solve the system of equations]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

There are two unknowns: the amount of time the squirrel spent running, and the length of the race.  Let's call these t and x, respectively.

The average velocity is the total distance divided by the total time.

5.0 m/s = x / (t + 3.0)

The total distance is the time she spent running times the speed she ran at.

x = (6.0 m/s) t

Substitute and solve:

5 = 6t / (t + 3)

5 (t + 3) = 6t

5t + 15 = 6t

t = 15

She ran for 15 seconds (not including the 3 seconds she stopped).  So the length of the race is:

x = (6.0 m/s) (15 s)

x = 90 m

Racing cars driven by chris and kelly are side by side at the start of a race. the table shows the velocities of each car (in mi
Mamont248 [21]

Solution

distance travelled by Chris

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{c}= [(\frac{21+0}{2})+(\frac{33+21}{2})+(\frac{55+47}{2})+(\frac{63+55}{2})+(\frac{70+63}{2})+(\frac{76+70}{2})+(\frac{82+76}{2})+(\frac{87+82}{2})+(\frac{91+87}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{579.5}{3600}=0.161miles

Kelly,

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{k}=[(\frac{24+0}{2})+(\frac{3+24}{2})+(\frac{55+39}{2})+(\frac{62+55}{2})+(\frac{71+62}{2})+(\frac{79+71}{2})+(\frac{85+79}{2})+(\frac{85+92}{2})+(\frac{99+92}{2})+(\frac{103+99}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{657.5}{3600}

\Delta X=X_{k}-X_{C}=0.021miles
