Answer:

4miles/hour

Explanation:

the solution for this question requires that the quantities are converted to the appropriate units as required by the question.

Rate in miles per hour = distance in miles / time in hour

to convert 12 minutes to hours; recall that 60 minutes make 1 hour

12 minutes to hour = 12/60 = 0.2hr

to convert 4224 feet to miles; recall 5280 feet is equivalent to 1 mile

4224 feet to miles = 4224/5280 = 0.8 miles

∴ rate = 0.8 / 0.2

rate = 4 miles per hour

the constant rate in miles per hour = 4 miles/hour

a motorcycle accelerates from 15 m/s to 20 m/s over a distance of 50 meters. what is its average acceleration?
devlian [24]
For this, you need the v-squared equation, which is v(final)² = v(initial)² + 2aΔx The averate acceleration is thus a = (v(final)² - v(initial)²) / 2Δx = (20² - 15²) / 2(50) = 175 / 100 = 1.75 m/s² So the average acceleration is 1.75 m/s²

If you walk 30 meters forwards, and then turn around and walk 25 meters backwards, what is the distance that you walked? What di
xeze [42]

Given :

Walk in forward direction is 30 m .

Walk in backward direction is 25 m .

To Find :

The distance and displacement .

Solution :

We know , distance is total distance covered and displacement is distance between final and initial position .

So , distance travelled is :

D = 30 + 25 m = 55 m .

Now , we first move 30 m in forward direction and then 25 m in backward direction .

So , displacement is :

D = 30 - 25 m = 5 m .

Therefore , distance and displacement covered is 55 m and 5 m respectively .

Hence , this is the required solution .
