Answer:

b) 68,9 km/h a) picture

Explanation:

In this problem, since velocity is expressed in km/h and time in minutes, we have to convert either time to hours or velocity to km/min. It is easier to use hours.

Using this formula we pass time to hours:

t_{hours}=t_{min}*\frac{1 h}{60 min}\\30min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0,5h\\45min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0,75h

Now we can plot speed vs time (image 1). The problem says that the driver uses constant speed, so all lines have to be horizontal.

Using the values of the speed we calculate the distance in each interval

d=v*t\\80km/h*0.5h=40km\\100km/h*0.75h=75km

Using these values and the fact that she was having lunch in the third one (therefore stayed in the same position), we plot position vs time, using initial position zero (image 2, distance is in km, not meters).

Finally, we compute the average speed with the distance over time:

v_{average}=\frac{155km}{2.25h}=68.9km/h

If a cart goes around a turn at 20 km/h ,what remains constant
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 4.speed

Explanation:

In this case, we know that the cart remains at a constant 20km/h.

Now, one could say that "the velocity remains constant, because it always is 20km/h"

But remember that velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, and if the cart is going around a turn, then the direction of motion is changing, which tell us that there is acceleration.

But the module of the velocity, the speed, remains constant at 20km/h.

Then the correct option is 4, speed.
