Answer:
681.6/ms
Explanation:
A reconnaissance plane flies 545 km away from its base at 568 m/s. then flies back to its base at 852 m/s.
What is its average speed?
Answer in its of m/s
Avg speed of the round trip is
2*568*852/(568+852)= 681.6/ms
Explanation:
We'll need two equations.
v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)
where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.
x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t
where t is time.
Given:
v = 47.5 m/s
v₀ = 34.3 m/s
x - x₀ = 40100 m
Find: a and t
(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)
a = 0.0135 m/s²
40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t
t = 980 s
If the object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, then that's
the definition of zero acceleration. It can only happen when the sum of
all forces (the 'net' force) on the object is zero.
And it doesn't matter what the object's mass is. That argument is true
for specks of dust, battleships, rocks, stars, rock-stars, planets, and
everything in between.
