Answer:
<em>1) 1.56 m/s</em>
<em>2) 1.11 m/s</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The bus travels 6 blocks east and 8 blocks west
Each block is 100 m long
time taken to travel through this distance = 15 min
average speed of the bus = ?
the total blocks traveled = 6 + 8 = 14 blocks
total distance traveled = 14 x 100 m = 1400 m
time taken = 15 min = 15 x 60 sec = 900 sec
average speed of the bus = distance traveled/time taken
==> 1400/900 = <em>1.56 m/s</em>
<em></em>
2) velocity = displacement/time taken
displacement is the shortest distance between the starting position and the final position of the bus.
The displacement of this bus will be the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the motion of the bus
the distance traveled east = 6 x 100 = 600 m
the distance traveled north = 8 x 100 = 800 m
displacement = = 1000 m
The velocity of the bus = 1000/900 = <em>1.11 m/s</em>

The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.
wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:
wave period= 1/ 200/s
get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200
then you can start the actual computation:
wave period= 1 x s divided by 200
this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.

Answer:
8. acceleration = = 1 unit .
9. acceleration = = -1 unit.
10. acceleration = = 0 units.
Explanation:
8. i) acceleration = velocity / time
ii) In this figure velocity = time
iii) therefore acceleration = = 1 unit .
9. i) acceleration = velocity / time
ii) In this figure 4 = m + 5, therefore m = -1
therefore velocity = (-0.5 time) + 5
iii) therefore acceleration = = -1 units.
10.) velocity is constant at 2
therefore acceleration = = 0 units
