Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min

utes, she walks 125 meters to the west to meet a friend and then walks 45 meters north with her friend to a cafe for lunch. Overall, she takes 10 minutes to do all this. What is Mary’s average speed?

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (80m) + (125m) + (45m) = 250 meters

Overall time = 10 minutes

Average speed = (250 meters) / (10 minutes)

<em>Average speed = 25 meters/minute </em>

Since we're only looking for average speed and not velocity, we don't care about any of the directions, and we don't need to calculate Mary's displacement.

You want to slide a 0.39 kg book across a table. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .21, what force is required to move t
uranmaximum [27]
Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together.  This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for.  We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

F_{NoFric}=ma=0.39kg \times0.18 \frac{m}{s^2}  =0.0702N

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction.  Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

F_{Fric}=0.39kg \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.21=0.803N

Now the total force required is:

0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N

A car on a freeway speeds up to get around another car. The car speeds up from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 5 seconds.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Directly from the information given:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds
