You drive a beat-up pickup truck along a straight road for 8.4 km at 70 km/h, at which point the truck runs out of gasoline and

stops. Over the next 30 min, you walk another 2.0 km farther along the road to a gasoline station. What is your average velocity from the beginning of your drive to your arrival at the gasoline station?

Answer:

v_avg = 37 km/h

Explanation:

To find the average velocity in the complete trajectory you use the following formula:

v_{avg}=\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}   ( 1 )

v1: velocity in the first part of the trajectory = 70 km/h

v2: velocity in the second part of the trajectory = ?

You calculate v2 by using the following equation for a motion with constant velocity:

v_2=\frac{2.0km}{30min}*\frac{60min}{1h}=4\frac{km}{h}

you replace the values of v1 and v2 in (1) and you obtain:

v_{avg}=\frac{70km/h+4km/h}{2}=37\frac{km}{h}

hence, the average velocity is 37 km/h

Answer:

v = 16.8 km/h

Explanation:

The average velocity can be calculated usign the following equation:

v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

<u>Where</u>:

Δx: is the change in the displacement

Δt: is the change in the time

The total displacement is:

x_{t} = 8.4 km + 2.0 km = 10.4 km

The initial time is:

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{8.4 km}{70 km/h} = 0.12 h  

The total time is:

t_{t} = 0.12 h + 30min*\frac{1 h}{60 min} = 0.62 h  

Finally, by taking:

Δt = 0.62 h

Δx= 10.4 km

The average velocity is:

v = \frac{10.4 km}{0.62 h} = 16.8 km/h        

Therefore, the average velocity is 16.8 km/h.

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

The parents and offspring all have phenotype ww. That leaves 100% probability of short wings and 0% long wings.

Explanation:

If long wings are a dominant trait, that means short wings are recessive. If two short winged flies are crossed, each of their phenotypes are ww. Therefore, each of their offspring also have phenotype ww, or short wings.
