Answer:

Average speed, As = 2.2 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve these types of problems we must remember that the average of the speeds is determined by dividing the distance over time.

With the first speed and the time of 6 [s] we can calculate the distance.

V = x/t

where:

x = distance [m]

V = velocity = 1.1 [m/s]

t = time = 6 [s]

x1 = V*t

X1 = 1.1*6

X1 = 6.6 [m]

Now with the second velocity and  6 [s], we can calculate the second distance.

X2 = 3.3*6

X2 = 19.8 [m]

Now we have to calculate the average speed. The total distance is x = x1 +x2

X = 19.8 + 6.6 = 26.4 [m]

and the total time is 12 [s]

Therefore:

As = 26.4/12

As = 2.2 [m/s]

Why are there so few working wave power stations?
Bond [772]
Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches
