Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\  - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\  - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\  - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr

What are the 4 rules of seismic waves?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
"The are many different seismic waves, but all of basically of four types:

Compressional or P (for primary)
or S (for secondary)
Love
Rayleigh
An earthquake radiates P and S waves in all directions and the interaction of the P and S waves with Earth's surface and shallow structure produces surface waves."

Suppose a car is traveling at +25.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.340 s has elapsed (the reaction t
scoundrel [369]
First, we will get the distance traveled before the driver applied the brakes.
distance = velocity * time
distance = 25*0.34 = 8.5 m

Now, we will calculated the distance that the car traveled after the driver applied the brakes. To do this, we will use the equation of motion:
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d where:
</span>vf = zero, vi = 25 m/s and a = -7 m/s^2
Note: The negative sign is only to show deceleration 
d = <span> 1/2*(625) /(7) = 44.6428 m

The total stopping distance =</span> 8.5 + 44.6428 = 53.1428 m

What is the difference between resilience and modulus of resilience
pshichka [43]
<span>Resilience is the amount of energy that can be put into a volume of material and still be stored elastically. ie When the energy goes away, the material regains its undeformed shape. The Mod of R is the amount that can be stored by a unit volume of that material. The Mod of R is heavily related to Youngs Modulus.</span>
