A train leaves the station heading south on the tracks. It takes 5 seconds to reach 50 miles per hour. It completes the entire 1

00 mile trip in 2 hours. Calculate the trains average speed and velocity over the two hour trip. Show your work. Identify each of the measurements are a ascalr or vector.

Well, in order to figure out the answer is to divide until you figure out how many miles they went per second. If it takes 5 seconds to reach 50 miles per hour it took 10 seconds per every 10 miles meaning each mile took 1 second. (Not actually possible but the answer) So, If it finished a 100 mile trip in 2 hours it took an hour for 50 miles. If it took 1 hour for 50 miles divide 60/50 which gets you 1.2 so it took 1.2 miles per minute meaning the car went 120 miles per hour I believe. I hope this helps :)

Answer:

Average speed is 50 mph

Average velocity is -50 mph . It is negative since it is towards south.

Explanation:

Distance is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector. So for a vector, both magnitude and direction should be specified.

Average speed is the total distance over total time taken . So it is 100 miles over 2 hours which gives 50 mph.

Average velocity has the same magnitude and is also 100miles over 2 hours but it is negative since velocity is a vector and it is directed towards south.

Darius' boat sails into the harbor with a speed of 80m/s. After 20 seconds, Darius' boat has come to a stop at the dock. What is
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²

Explanation:

This question seeks to test the knowledge of acceleration and how to calculate acceleration when the speed is provided. Hence, the formula for acceleration would be used here.

Acceleration (m/s²) = speed (in m/s) ÷ time (in seconds)

Acceleration = 80 m/s ÷ 20 secs

Acceleration = 4 m/s² or 4 ms⁻²

The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²

With what speed must you approach a source of sound to observe a 25% change in frequency?
insens350 [35]
Sound source is at rest, you are moving with velocity v, f = frequency, c = speed of sound:

f = f0(1 + v/c)

115 = 100(1 + v/343)
115 = 100 + 100v/343
15 = 100v/343
v = 15*343/100
<span> v = 51,45 m/s </span>

If an equation is dimensionally correct is thar equation a right equation<br>​
Nady [450]

If an equation is dimensionally correct, it does not mean that the equation must be true. On the other hand, when the equation is dimensionally correct, the equation cannot be true. Dimensional analysis is a technique used to check whether a relationship is correct
