If there is no air resistance and the body, in this case the sky diver simply falls from the helicopter then, the motion can be described as a free-falling body. The equation that would allow us to determine the speed of the body at any time, t is,

<span>                                    v(t)  = vo + gt</span>

<span>where v(t) is the unknown velocity, vo is the initial velocity which is equal to zero and g is the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s2.</span>

Substituting the known values,

<span>                                    v(t) = 0 + (9.8 m/s2)(12s)</span>

<span>                                                v(t) = 117.6 m/s</span>

<span>Hence, the speed of the sky diver at the end of 12 second is approximately 117.6 m/s.  </span>

Explanation:

Newton's Gravitation Law

\displaystyle \frac{GmM}{d^2}

where G is a constant, M and M the masses e d the distance betwen masses.

\displaystyle G\frac{5\cdot2}{x^2}=G\frac{6\cdot 2}{(2x+1)^2} \quad \sqrt{6}x=(2x+1)\sqrt {5} \quad x=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{6}-2\sqrt{5}}

Nitella [24]
The average speed of the bus from Lansing to Detroit is 
v_1 = 104.5 km/h
while the average speed of the bus from Detroit to Lansing is
v_2 =56.2 km/h

The distance covered by the bus in the two trips is the same (the distance between the two cities), therefore, the average speed of the round trip can be calculated as the mean of the two speeds:
v= \frac{v_1+v_2}{2}= \frac{104.5+56.2}{2}=80.35 km/h

Leona [35]

Answer:

\vec{d}=17.7km

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector that defines the position of a particle. The vector extends from the initial position to the final position. Therefore, the displacement only takes into account this positions, since its trajectory is not important:

\vec{d}=6.3km-1.8km+13.2km\\\vec{d}=17.7km
