You are driving home from school steadily at 95.0 km/h for 130 km. It then begins to rain and you slow to 65.0 km/h. You arrive

home after driving 3.33 hours. (a) How far is your hometown from school? (b) What was your average speed?

Very simple,Its all about calculating distance using the formula:
D = V x T
where,
V is the speed or velocity
D is distance
T is the time
In the given problem,there are two parts.
Lets do the calculations for both parts separately:
Part 1) Before the rain
Time = 130/95
         = 1.37 hours <span> </span>
<span>Time taken after the rain = Total time - time taken before the rain  </span>
<span>                                        = 3.34 hours - 1.37 hours
                                        = 1.97 hours </span>
<span>Distance covered after the rain = 1.97 hours x 65 km/h
                                                  = 128 km</span>
Hence,
<span>a) The total distance covered =  130 + 128
                                           = 258 km
</span><span>b) Average speed = Total distance/Total time
                             =  260/3.34
                             = 78 km/h </span>

A loaded barge has a mass of 1 500 000 kg and is traveling at 3 m/s. If a tugboat applies an opposing force of 12 000 N for 10 s
yan [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial momentum is 1.5e6(3) = 4.5e6 kg•m/s

An impulse results in a change of momentum

The tug applied impulse is 12000(10) = 120000 N•s or 0.12e6 kg•m/s

The remaining momentum is 4.5e6 - 0.12e6 =  4.38e6 kg•m/s

The barge velocity is now 4.38e6 / 1.5e6 = 2.92 m/s

The tug applies 0.012e6 N•s of impulse each second.

The initial barge momentum will be zero in

t = 4.5e6 / 0.012e6 = 375 s or 6 minutes and 15 seconds

To stop the barge in one minute(60 s), the tug would have to apply

4.5e6 / 60 = 75000 N•s /s or 75 000 N

A subway train accelerates from rest at one station at a rate of 1.30 m/s^2 for half of the distance to the next station, then d
Minchanka [31]

This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:

         Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .

During the speeding-up half:     1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half:    1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²

Pick either half, and divide each side by  0.65 m/s²: 

                         T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)

                         T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds

Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.

                         T =  2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em>  (rounded)
