At the beginning of the 3 sec, its speed is 10 m/s.

Over the course of 3 sec, gravity adds (9.8 x 3) = 29.4 m/s
to its speed, so its speed after 3 sec is (10 + 29.4) = 39.4 m/s.

Its average speed during the 3 sec is

                               (1/2) (10 + 39.4) 

                           =  (1/2) (49.4)  =  24.7 m/s .

In 3 sec, at an average speed of 24.7 m/s,
the rock travels

                     (3) x (24.7) = 74.1 meters.

If there's no air resistance in its path, then it was thrown
from 74.1 meters above the ground.

An increase in the magnitude of velocity is??
bazaltina [42]
It means the speed of the object is increasing
and
there is a positive acceleration in the direction of the velocity
hence
there is a force acting on the object, in the direction of the velocity

A person travels from New York to Washington at the rate of 45 km per hour and
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The average speed for the whole journey is 49.5 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Step 1 :

Here, both the ways, he covers the same distance.  Then, the formula to find average speed is

=  2xy / (x+y)

Step 2 :

x ----> Rate at which he travels from New York to Washington  

x  =  45

y ----> Rate at which he travels from New York to Washington  

y  =  55

Step 3 :

So, the average speed is

=  (2 ⋅ 45 ⋅ 55) / (45 + 55)

=  4950 / 100

=  49.5
