Answer:

30 miles/hour, and 2.24 miles/hour

Explanation:

What is average speed?

It is the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to cover the total distance traveled

Given that the various distances are

20 miles and 10 miles

the total distance traveled is 20+10= 30 miles

the average speed is expressed as

average speed= total distance/time taken

average speed= 30/1

average speed= 30 miles/hour

The average velocity is a vector quantity

the velocity is the average displacement divided by time taken

$$\begin{lgathered}displacement= \sqrt{1^2+2^2} \\\\displacement= \sqrt{1+4} \\\\displacement=2.24 miles\end{lgathered}$$

average velocity= displacement / time

average velocity= 2.24 /1

average velocity= 2.24 miles/hour

A + 32.2 μC charge feels a 0.544 N force from a + 12.3p μC charge. How far apart are they? (u stands for micro.) [?] m
love history [14]

Answer:

r = 2.55 m

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge, q₁ = 32.2 μC

Second charge, q₂ = + 12.3 μC

The force between charges, F = 0.544 N

We need to find the distance between charges. The force between two charges is given by the formula as follows :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{F}} \\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 32.2\times 10^{-6}\times 12.3\times 10^{-6}}{0.544}} \\\\r=2.55\ m

So, the charges are 2.55 m apart.

I. Positive acceleration increases velocity. Negative acceleration decreases velocity. runner A sped up until the finish line and then slowed to a stop.

ii. Zero a acceleration implies a constant, unchanging velocity not a zero velocity. runner B achieved some velocity prior to 8s and is moving and must slow down to reach a stop.

iii. None. No aspects of this reasoning are correct. Everything she says is wrong. See iv for what/why.

iv. The sign on acceleration denotes the direction of *change in velocity* not change in direction. The sign on velocity can denote change in direction but only “forward” or “reverse” along a particular path. Cardinal direction is not indicated, generally, by the sign on velocity. It may correspond to North/South situationally but it is not an built-in feature of velocity and its sign. For example, if you are traveling with positive velocity and turn left to continue your journey you still have a positive velocity in the new direction. In fact, if you turn left again, traveling in the opposite direction as the one you started with your velocity would still be positive… in the new direction. The velocity relative to original direction could be said to be negative but that would be a confusing way to describe a journey. Maybe if you stopped the vehicle and moved in reverse, you could meaningfully say velocity was negative.

A racecar traveling at a velocity of 18.5 m/s, accelerates at a rate of 2.47 m/s2 and covers a distance of 79.78 m. Determine th
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The final velocity of the race car is 27.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the race car, u = 18.5 m/s

acceleration of the race car, a = 2.47 m/s²

distance covered by the race car, s = 79.78 m

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the final velocity of the race car.

v² = u² + 2as

v² = (18.5)² + 2(2.47)(79.78)

v² = 736.363

v = √736.363

v = 27.14 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the racecar is 27.14 m/s
