Well, let's see:

If you live 'D' kilometers from the city, and you go and return by the same route, then

-- The time it takes you to reach the city, at 40 km/h, is  D/40  hours.

-- The time it takes you to return, at 60 km/h, is    D/60.

-- The total distance you cover is  2D, and the total driving time is

                        (D/40) + (D/60)

                   =  (3D/120)  +  (2D/120)

                   =        5D/120  =  D/24

-- Your average speed for the entire trip is

                         (distance covered)  /  (time to cover the distance)

                   =            ( 2D )   /   ( D/24 )

                   =              48 km/hr.

Ms. Garcia’s car can go from rest to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. The car’s velocity changes at a uniform rate. How far does the car tr
vampirchik [111]

We will use this equation:

s = 1/2*a*t^2 + v0*t + s0

where:

s = space traveled

a = acceleration

t = time

v0 = initial speed

s0 = initial space

In this case::

v0 = 0

s0 = 0

So our equation will look like that now:

s = 1/2 * a * t^2

let's calculate the acceleration first of all:

a = (vf - vi) / t

where vf is the final speed and vi is the initial speed. t is the time.

a = (25m/s) / 10s = 2.5 m/s^2

Now we can calculate the space:

s = 1/2 * (2.5 m/s^2) * (10s)^2 = 125m

---

Hope it was helpful! Have a great day.
