Average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 40 + 20 = 60km
total time taken = 10 + 5 = 15 minutes
Average speed = 60/15 = 4km/min

Answer:

D. 4km/min

Explanation:

Since the question deals with "speed" and not "velocity", the direction does not matter.

the plane covers 40 + 20 km=60km in 10mins +5 mins=15mins

60 km - 15 mins

1min- 60÷15= 4 mins

therefore, your answer is D. 4km/min

A hockey stick of mass ms and length L is at rest on the ice (which is assumed to be frictionless). A puck with mass mp hits the
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Explanation:

Given info

ms = mass of the hockey stick

uis = 0 (initial speed of the hockey stick before the collision)

xis = D (initial position of center of mass of the hockey stick before the collision)

mp = mass of the puck

uip = v₀ (initial speed of the puck before the collision)

xip = 0 (initial position of center of mass of the puck before the collision)

If we apply

Ycm = (ms*xis + mp*xip) / (ms + mp)

⇒  Ycm = (ms*D + mp*0) / (ms + mp)

⇒  Ycm = (ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Now, we can apply the equation

L = m*v*R

where m = mp

v = v₀

R = Ycm

then we have

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

A body travels at an initial speed of 2.5 m/s. Given a constant acceleration of 0.2 m/s 2 what is the speed of the body at time
garri49 [273]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

u = 2.5 m/s

a = 0.2 m/s/s

t = 25 seconds

v = v m/s

<u>Solving for 'v':</u>

From the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

Replacing the values

v = 2.5 + (0.2)(25)

v = 2.5 + 5

v = 7.5 m/s
