In heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5 minutes, and fi

nally you drive at 15 m/s for another 2.5 minutes. (a) Plot the position-versus-time graph for this motion. your plot should extend from t=0 to t=7.5 minutes. (b) Use your plot from part (a) to calculate the average velocity between t=0 and t=7.5 minutes.

To develop this problem we will begin to determine the distances traveled in each of the segments using the linear motion kinematic equations. For this purpose, the distance traveled will be determined by the product between speed and time.

Part A is attached and indicates the graph of distance traveled vs time. And the calculations for development are found below. With the distance traveled and the total time it will be possible to find the average speed of the second part.

In 1.5 min the distance covered was,

d_1 = (1.5 min)(\frac{60s}{1min}) (12m/s) = 1080m

In the next 3.5min the distance covered is 0.

d_2 = 0

The distance covered for the next 2.5 min is

d_3 = (2.5 min)(\frac{60s}{1min})(15m/s)=2250m

Total distance covered is

d_T = d_1+d_2+d_3

d_T = 1080+0+2250

d_T = 3330m

For the average distance we need to use the total distance covered in the total time used. Then,

v_{Avg} = \frac{d_T}{t_T}

v_{Avg} = \frac{3330m}{7.5min (\frac{60s}{1min})}

v_{Avg} = 7.4m/s

How do you calculate average speed?
Mila [183]

Divide
       (the distance covered in some period of time)
by
       (the time taken to cover the distance).

The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.

Which of the following will cause an increase in gas pressure in a closed container?
Shalnov [3]
The answer is A. Or the first option. Pressure is changed by lowering the pressure, not reducing the volume. You would assume its C but its A.

a student measure the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of brown sugar to be 12.9 g. what is the density of the brown sugar?
schepotkina [342]
Density = mass / volume ;
1 Cubic Centimeter = 0,000001 Cubic Meter
8 cm^3 = 0.000008 m^3
12,9 g = 0,0129 kg


The density is 0,0129 kg/ 0,000008 m^3 = <span><u>1612,5 kg/m^3</u> </span>
