Answer:

A) yes

Explanation:

First section of trip: 30 miles in 40 minutes

Second section of trip: 15 miles in 20 minutes

The formula for speed is distance over time $k=\frac{d}{t}$

Calculate the speeds for each section of the trip.

First:

k = d/t

k = 30miles/40minutes <= reduce fraction by 10 (30÷10 and 40÷10)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Second:

k = d/t

k = 15miles/20minutes <= reduce fraction by 5 (15÷5 and 20÷5)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Therefore there is a constant speed because both sections of the trip are driving at "3 miles / 4 minutes".

3 miles / 4 minutes can be also formatted as:

0.75 miles per minute.

scoundrel [369]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to magnetic flux and induced voltage. This last expression understood as the variation of the magnetic flux over time and, in turn, the magnetic flux expressed as the variation of the magnetic field in a certain area.

Magnetic flux through the circular coil is given as

$\Phi_C = B(\pi r^2)$
