Answer

D. The average speed is 2.5 meters/second, and the average velocity is 0 meters/second.

The difference between speed and velocity is that, speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.

Average speed = total distance/Total time

                          = (150 + 150) / (2×60)

                          = 300/120

                           = 2.5 m/s

Average velocity = Total displacement/ Total time

                             = (150 + -150) / (2 × 60)

                            = 0/120

                            = 0 m/s

(5 pt) You tie a cord to a pail of water, and your swing the pail in a vertical circular 0.700 m. What is the minimum speed must
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The minimum speed required  is 2.62m/s

Explanation:

The value of  gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s^2

Radius of the vertical circle = R = 0.7 m

Given the mass of the pail of water = m

The speed at the highest point of the circle = V

The centripetal force will be needed must be more than the weight of the pail of water in order to not spill water.

Below is the calculation:

\frac{mV^{2}}{R} = mg

V = \sqrt{gR}

V = \sqrt{9.81 \times 0.7}

V = 2.62 m/s

what is the average speed of a car that travels 40mph for 1 hour and 60 mph in another hour PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
suter [353]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover it)

-- Traveling at 40 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 40 miles.

-- Traveling at 60 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 60 miles.

-- Total distance covered = (40 miles) + (60 miles) = 100 miles

-- Total time = (1 hour) + (1 hour)  =  2 hours

-- Average speed = (100 miles) / (2 hours)

<em>Average speed = 50 miles per hour</em>
