Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.

Please help! Average speed. Show work!
KiRa [710]

Answer:

3.78 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for average speed is given by

Speed = Distance ÷ Time taken

Where,

Speed = we are asked to find this

Distance = given as 340m

Time taken = 1.5 min = 1.5 x 60 = 90 seconds

Substituting the values into the equation:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time taken

= 340 meters  ÷ 90 seconds

= 3.777777 m/s

= 3.78 m/s (round to nearest hundredth)
