Mary walked north from her home to Sheila's home, which is 4.0 kilometers away. Then she turned right and walked another 3.0 kil

ometers to the supermarket, which is 5.0 kilometers from her own home. She walked the total distance in 1.5 hours. What were her average speed and average velocity?

The answer is speed: 4.7 km/h, velocity: 3.3 km/h.

Distances and time are given:
d1 =  4 km
d2 = 3 km
d3 = 5 km
t = 1.5 h

The speed can be expressed as a distance (d) divided by time (t). The average speed (s) is total distance travelled divided by time:
s = (d1 + d2)/t = (4+3)/1.5 = 7/1.5 = 4.7 km/h

The average velocity (v) is total displacement (d₁) from the starting point divided by time. Since Mary's starting point was home, and she walked to the supermarket, which is 5.0 kilometers from her own home, her displacement is 5 km:
v = d₁/t = 5/1.5 = 3.3 km/h

When Sam presses the brake lever, a pair of rubber shoes  clamps onto the metal inner rim of the front and back wheels. As the brake shoes rub  against the wheels, friction is caused and  the kinetic energy possessed by the vehicle is converted into heat which slows down the vehicle.

Describe what happens to the particles of a liquid, in terms of movement and kinetic energy, as it is cooled to its freezing poi
nataly862011 [7]
As a system is cooled to its freezing point, the kinetic energy of the particles in the system will lower so the movement are much slower. Cooling means taking out heat from the system. This process is a physical change because it is only the phase of the system is changed and it is still the substance after the process.

The gauge pressure in the tires of your car is 210 kPa (30.5 psi) when the temperature is 25°C (77 °F). Several days later it is
DaniilM [7]

Under the assumption that the tires do not change in volume, apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 210kPa + 101.325kPa

P = 311.325kPa (add 101.325 to change gauge pressure to absolute pressure)

T = 25°C = 298.15K

Final P and T values:

P = ?, T = 0°C = 273.15K

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final P:

311.325/298.15 = P/273.15

P = 285.220kPa

Subtract 101.325kPa to find the final gauge pressure:

285.220kPa - 101.325kPa = 183.895271kPa

The final gauge pressure is 184kPa or 26.7psi.
