1) The minute travels the circumference of a 4 inches circle is 60 minutes:

Circumference = 2πr = 2π(2in) = 4π in
Time = 60 minutes

2) Constant angular velocity => (4π / 60) = (x / 20) => x = 4π / 3 inches

x = 4.19 inches

Answer: 4.19 inches

A swimmer swims 3/5 the width of a river at one velocity, then swims the remainder of the river at half her initial velocity. Wh
SashulF [63]
Let her initial velocity be U.

Let the width of the river be W.

She swims 3/5 the width of the river  at  U.

Remainder width =  (1 - 3/5) = 2/5.

She then swims 2/5 the width with velocity  U/2.


Average Speed  =  (Total Distance Traveled)  /  ( Total Time Taken).


Distance =  Speed * time

time  =  Distance /  Speed.

Time in first trip:    =    (3/5)W / U =   0.6W/U.

Time in second trip  =  (2/5)W / (U/2)  =  0.4W / 0.5 U =  0.8W/U

Total Distance Traveled =  W,  width of the river.

Average Speed  =      W  /  (0.6W/U  +  0.8W/U) =    W /  (1.4W/U)

                             =  W  *  U / 1.4W 
                              =    U/1.4
                              =  U * 10 / 14
                              =  (5/7) U.

Therefore Average speed is  (5/7) of the initial speed.

If the average velocity of a duck is zero in a given time interval, what can you say about the displacement of the duck for that
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Also 0

Explanation:

Since average speed of an object is that object's displacement over a unit of time, when an average speed is 0, its displacement over a unit of time must also be 0. When an average speed is not 0, then its displacement over a unit of time is also not 0 for that interval.
