Answer:

0.60 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity from t = a to t = b is:

v_avg = (x(b) − x(a)) / (b − a)

Given that x(t) = 0.36t² − 1.20t, and the time is from 1.0 to 4.0:

v_avg = (x(4.0) − x(1.0)) / (4.0 − 1.0)

v_avg = [(0.36(4.0)² − 1.20(4.0)) − (0.36(1.0)² − 1.20(1.0))] / 3.0

v_avg = [(5.76 − 4.8) − (0.36 − 1.20)] / 3.0

v_avg = [0.96 − (-0.84)] / 3.0

v_avg = 0.60

The average speed is 0.60 m/s.

A race car accelerates at a constant rate from 20 m/s to 60 m/s in a time of 2 seconds. What is the car’s acceleration?
Vlada [557]

\huge\fbox{Answer ☘}

Given ,

initial velocity , u = 20 m/s

final velocity , v = 60 m/s

time taken = 2 seconds

Now ,

\bold{acceleration =  \frac{v - u}{t} } \\ \\   =  > \bold{ \frac{60 - 20}{2} }  \\ \\  =  >  \bold{\frac{40}{2} } \\  \\ \bold{ => 20 \: ms {}^{ - 2}}

You dip your finger into a pan of water twice each second, producing waves with crests that are separated by 0.15 m. Determine t
PIT_PIT [208]

Frequency = rate of sploosh = 2 per second  =  2 Hz.

Period = ( 1/frequency ) =  1/2  second

Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (0.15m) x ( 2/sec) = 0.075 m/s .
