How to solve for average speed

Physics
1 answer:
borishaifa [10]3 years ago
4 0

The Average speed can be found by dividing the total traveled by the amount of time it took to travel that distance.

For example, if it took you 10 hours to travel 100 miles, your average speed is the amount of miles you traveled in 1 hour. Simplify.

100/10 = 10/1

Your average speed is 10 miles per hour.

We now have an algebraic expression with only one variable, which can be solved. Once we have that, we can plug it back into one
Len [333]

Answer:

A=1

B=-2

Explanation:

Part A and B of the question wasn't given, however, I attached the relevant parts to solve this question as follows.

From part B as attached, it shows that the right option is C which is

2A+3B=-4

Substituting B with 3A-5 then we form the second equation as shown

2A+3(3A-5)=-4

By simplifying the above equation, we obtain

2A+9A-15=-4

Re-arranging, then

11A=-4+15

Finally

11A=11

A=1

To obtain B, we already know that 3A-5 so substituting the value of A into the above then we obtain

B=3(1)-5=-2

Therefore, required values are 1 and -2

A truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}.............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value of a in above equation as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2

s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}

u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v

u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two students 8 meters apart are holding a stretched, coiled spring between them. One student sends a pulse down the string, and
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance travelled by wave = 8 x 2 = 16 m

Time taken = 4 s

velocity of pulse wave = distance / time

= 16 m / 4 s

= 4 m/s

Find an expression for the square of the orbital period.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

T²= 4π²R³/GM

Explanation:

First we know that

Fg= Fc

Because centripetal force must equal gravitational force

So

GMm/R² = Mv²/R

But velocity is 2πR/T

So by substitution we have

GMm/R²= M (2πR/T)/T

We have

T²= 4π²R³/GM as period
