You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 51 km/h and the other half at 71 km/h. On the way back

you travel half the distance at 51 km/h and the other half at 71 km/h.
What is your average speed (a) from San Antonio to Houston, (b) from Houston back to San Antonio, and (c) for the entire trip? (d) What is your average velocity for the entire trip?

Answer:

Part a)

v_{avg} = 61 km/h

Part b)

v_{avg} = 59.4 km/h

Part c)

v_{avg} = 60.2 km/h

Part d)

average velocity must be ZERO

Explanation:

While he drive San Antonio to Houston

Half the time move with speed 51 km/h and next half his speed is 71 km/h

so we have

v_1(T/2) + v_2(T/2) = d

T = \frac{2d}{v_1 + v_2}

T = \frac{2d}{51 + 71}

so average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{T}

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{\frac{2d}{51 + 71}}

v_{avg} = 61 km/h

Part b)

While he move from Houston to San Antonio half the distance is moved with 51 km/h and next half distance with 71 km/h

so we have

T = \frac{d}{2v_1} + \frac{d}{2v_2}

T = \frac{d}{102} + \frac{d}{142}

so average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{ \frac{d}{102} + \frac{d}{142}}

v_{avg} = 59.4 km/h

Part c)

Average speed for entire trip

v_{avg} = \frac{2d}{\frac{2d}{51 + 71} + \frac{d}{102} + \frac{d}{142}}

v_{avg} = 60.2 km/h

Part d)

Since total displacement of entire trip is zero

so average velocity must be ZERO

a man hits a gold ball (0.205kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20.0 m/s squared. what is the amount of force acted on the ball
Schach [20]

Answer:

<h2>4.1 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 0.205 × 20

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.1 N</h3>

A truck moves 70 m east, then moves 120 m west, and finally moves east again a distance of 90 m. If east is chosen as the positi
asambeis [7]

Answer:

140m east

Explanation:

If East is positive then lets rephrase the problem into integers

A truck moves +70 m, then moves -120m, and finally moves +90m.

So totally Displacement = +70-120+90= +140m

Since east is positive, the trucks resultant displacement is 140 m east of origin
