Answer:

The average speed of the car is 66.9 km/h

Explanation:

Here distance covered with the speed 57 km/h=7 km 

distance covered with the speed of 81 km/h=7 km

Average speed is equal to the ratio of total distance to the total time.

total distance= 7 + 7= 14 km

$time= \frac{distance}{speed}$

time taken to cover the first 7 km= 7/57 h

time taken to cover the second part of the journey = 7/81 h

average speed = $14/(7/57+7/81)=(14 \times 57 \times 81)/945=66.9 km/h$ 

Shortcut: 

When equal distances are covered with different speeds average speed=2 ab/(a+b) where a and b are the variable speeds in the phases.

The acceleration is $2.5 m/s^2$

Explanation:

This is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), therefore we can apply the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the scooter in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

v = 10.0 m/s is the final velocity

t = 4.0 s is the time interval

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{10-0}{4}=2.5 m/s^2$

A person lifts a 4.5 kg cement block a vertical distance of 1.2 m and then carries the block horizontal- ly a distance of 7.3 m.

Delvig [45]

When a person lifts the block, the block has more potential energy. Therefore the person does positive work on the block. work = m g h work = (4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = 52.92 joules The person's work on the block is 52.92 joules When the block is being raised, the force of gravity opposes the motion. Therefore the force of gravity does negative work on the block. work = - (force) (h) work = - m g h work = -(4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = -52.92 joules The work done by the force of gravity on the block is -52.92 joules Note that when the block is moved horizontally, the potential energy does not change. Therefore there is no work done on the block when it moves horizontally (we are assuming that the kinetic energy does not change).
