Answer:

Our average speed was 50 mph

Explanation:

Constant Speed Motion

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}$

The distance we had to drive is d=150 miles. If we left at 1 p.m. and got to the hotel at 4 p.m. This means we took t=3 hours to get there.

The average speed is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{150\ miles}{3\ h}$

$v=50\ mi/h$

Our average speed was 50 mph

A boy jogs 250 meters in 110s what is the average speed

Artyom0805 [142]

The rule to get the average speed is as follows:
average speed = average distance / average time

We are given that:
distance = 250 m
time = 110 sec

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the average speed as follows:
average speed = 250/110 = 25/11 meters/sec

In this example we see how thermal expansion can actually throw off the accuracy of a length-measuring device—namely, a tape mea

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The new length is 50.00885m

Explanation:

linear thermal expansion coefficient Fe 11.8e-6 /K

The new length can be determined using the following equation:

∆L/L = α∆T, where α is linear thermal expansion coefficient

∆L = Lα∆T = 50(11.8e-6)(35-20) = 0.00885 m

New length = ( 50.000 + 0.00885)m =
