Answer:

<em>The total time is: t=451.22 sec</em>

<em>The average speed is: V=34.57 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Average speed</u>

The average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by an object (x) by the total time it took it to travel that distance (t).

\displaystyle V=\frac{x}{t}

Since the student makes the trip in two parts, we have to calculate the total distance and the total time.

We know the distance to school is 7.8 Km = 7,800 m. The student makes his way home over the same distance, thus the total distance is

x=2*7,800 m=15,600 m

The first trip to school was done at an average speed of v1=32.6 m/s. Knowing the distance and speed, we can calculate the time:

\displaystyle t1=\frac{x1}{v1}=\frac{7,800}{32.6}=239.26\ sec

The second trip back home was done at an average speed of v2=36.8 m/s. Let's calculate the second time:

\displaystyle t2=\frac{x2}{v2}=\frac{7,800}{36.8}=211.96\ sec

The total time is:

t=239.26\ sec+211.96\ sec=451.22\ sec

\boxed{t=451.22\ sec}

The average speed is:

\displaystyle V=\frac{15,600}{451.22}=34.57\ m/s

\boxed{\displaystyle V=34.57\ m/s}

A force F acts in the forward direction on a cart of mass m. A friction force ff opposes this motion. Part A Use Newton's second
stellarik [79]

Answer:

a = F-ff/m

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion which states that "the rate of change in momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force F and acts in the direction of the force.

Mathematically;

F = ma

Since two forces acts on the cart i.e the moving force F and the frictional force Ff , we will take the sum of the forces.

∑F = ma where

m is the mass of the cart

a is its acceleration

∑F = F+(-ff )(since frictional force is an opposing force)

F - ff = ma

Dividing both sides by mass m

a = F-ff/m
