There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis
Answer:
5.1 m/s
Explanation:
The figure is missing: find it in attachment.
In order to find the average speed, we have to calculate the length of the total path, and divide it by the total time elapsed.
The curve from A to B is a quarter of a circle with a radius of r = 20 m, so its length is:

The path BC is the hypothenuse of a right triangle with sides equal to 20 m and 30 m, so its length is

Finally, the length of the path AC is the sum of the side of 30 m and the radius of the curve, so

So the total distance covered is

The total time elapsed is

So, the average speed is

Explanation:
A) use the formula:

B) use the formula:

with angular velocity u calculated in A)
Answer:
60 watts
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the animal, m = 5 kg
Velocity of the animal, v = 10 m/s
Distance moved by the animal, d = 10 m
Drag force, F(d) = 12 N
Time taken, t = 2 seconds
To start with, we need to find the power output in itself before proceeding to find the average power output. And as such, we have
Power = Force * Distance/Time
But Distance/Time is velocity, so
Power = Force * Velocity
Power = 12 * 10
Power = 120 W.
We then use this power gotten to find the average power output.
Power(avg) = P/t
Power(avg) = 120 / 2
Power(avg) = 60 Watts.
Therefore, the average power output is found to be 60 Watts
