Explanation:
1st- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
2nd- states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it. (most important law)
3rd- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. (law of action/reaction)
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.
Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.
Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.
Answer:
v_average = 15 m / s
Explanation:
The average speed can be found in two ways,
* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent
* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction
v_average = 1 / t_total ∑ 
vi ti
Let's apply this last equation
Total time is
t = t₁ + t₂
t = 10 + 10 = 20 min
v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20
v_average = 10/2 + 20/2
v_average = 15 m / s
There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis
