Answer:

The average velocity has magnitude = 10 km/h , direction: east

Explanation:

In order to find the average velocity of the car we need to know the final and initial positions, and the time that took to get from one to the other.

Notice that since its movement was 60 km straight east and then from there 40 km straight west, the car is positioned at 20 km to the east of its initial departure point. therefore the vector change in position is a vector 20 km in magnitude, and direction towards the east.

Since it took the car a total of 1.33 hours plus 0.67 hours to reach its final position, the total time elapsed is: 1.33 + 0.67 hours = 2 hours.

Then,the velocity vector has magnitude; 20 km / 2 hours = 10 km/hour

As we mentioned above. the direction of the velocity vector is east.

Captain John Stapp is often referred to as the "fastest man on Earth." In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stapp ran the U.S. Air

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.
