Answer:
9.43 m/s
Explanation:
First of all, we calculate the final kinetic energy of the car.
According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to its change in kinetic energy:
where
W = -36.733 J is the work done on the car (negative because the car is slowing down, so the work is done in the direction opposite to the motion of the car)
is the final kinetic energy
is the initial kinetic energy
Solving,
Now we can find the final speed of the car by using the formula for kinetic energy
where
m = 661 kg is the mass of the car
v is its final speed
Solving for v, we find
Answer:
Average velocity
Average speed,
Explanation:
(a)Average velocity
We have to find the average velocity. We know that velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.
To find the average velocity we have to find the total displacement.
since displacement along east direction is 50m
and displacement along west=40m
so total displacement,
total time,
therefore, average velocity
(b)Average Speed:
Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance to the total time
it means
Average speed= total distance/total time
here total distance,
and total time,
therefore,
Average speed,
