Lila is a track and field athlete. She must complete four laps around a circular track. The track itself is a 400 meter track an

d it took her 6 minutes total to complete.
Which best describes her speed and velocity? (There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.)

A. Her speed is 4.4 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s.
B. Her speed is 1.1 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s.
C. Her speed is 0 m/s, and her velocity is 2400 m/s.
D. Her speed is 4.4 m/s, and her velocity is 4.4 m/s.

Answer:

A. Her speed is 4.4 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s.

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of path = 400m

Time taken  = 6min = 360s

Unknown:

Speed and velocity  = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divide by the time. Displacement takes into the account the distance covered with specific reference to direction. Since the student started and ended the journey on the same spot, the net displacement is 0.

So,

  Since velocity  = \frac{displacement }{time}

            Velocity  = 0

Speed is the distance divided by time;

  One lap = 400m,

   four laps  = 400 x 4 = 1600m

Speed  = \frac{1600}{360 }  = 4.4m/s

At time t = 0 s, an object is observed at x = 0 m; and its position along the x-axis follows this expression: x = –4t + t2, wher
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The object displacement is 0 meters.

Explanation:

Because the expression for the object position as function of time is:

x(t)= -4t + t^2

At t= 3.0=t2 seconds the x-position of the object is:

x(3.0)= -4(3.0) + (3.0)^2

x(3.0s)=-3 m

and at t=1.0=t1 seconds the x-position of the objects is:

x(1.0)= -4(1.0) + (1.0)^2

x(1.0s)=-3m

The total displacement (\Delta x) of the object between t2 and t1 is the difference between x(3.0s) and x(1.0s):

\Delta x= x(3.0)-x(1.0)=-3.0-(-3.0)

\Delta x=0m

The displacement of the object is zero!!!

Can someone help with number 4 please
kondaur [170]
The way I look at these things is like this:

-- The runner covered 12 meters in 4 seconds.
Average speed = 3 meters per second.

-- Speed at the beginning = zero.
In order to make the average 3, Speed at the end = 6 meters per second.

-- Speed increased from zero to 6 meters per second in 4 seconds.
It must have increased 1.5 meters per second each second.

That's choice-#2.
