You drive your car in a straight line at 15 m/s for 10 kilometers, then at 25 m/s for another 10 kilometers.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

A man runs at an average speed of 5.0m/s how long will it take him to run 5.2km on a perfectly straight line
Anni [7]

The time taken is 1040 s.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The term speed refers to the rate at which the distance changes per unit time. This is why we define speed as the ratio of the distance to time for a body that is moving along a straight line.

Now;

We must first convert the distance to meters;

distance = 5.2km  or 5200m

Speed = distance/time

time = distance/speed

time =  5200m/5 m/s

time = 1040 s

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one-third the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
aksik [14]

Answer:

one-third of its weight on Earth's surface

Explanation:

Weight of an object is = W = m*g

Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s

Gravity on Mars = g₂ = \frac{1}{3} g₁

Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )

As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )

Put equation (2) in equation (1)

so

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3

Weight of probe on Mars = \frac{1}{3}  m * g₁ = \frac{1}{3} w₁

⇒Weight of probe on Mars =\frac{1}{3} Weight of probe on earth
