It's not possible to answer the question exactly the way it's written.
That's because we don't know anything about the direction they
drive at any time during the trip. 

You see, "velocity" is not just a word that you use for 'speed' when
you want to sound smart and technical, like this question is doing. 
"Velocity" is a quantity that's made up of speed AND THE DIRECTION
of the motion.  If you don't know the direction of the motion, then you
CAN'T tell the velocity, only the speed.

Here are the average speeds that Lori's family drove on each leg
of their trip:

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Leg-A:  
Speed = 15km/10min = 1.5 km/min

Leg-B:  
Speed = 20km/15min = (1 and 1/3) km/min

Leg-C  
Speed = 24km/12min = 2 km/min

Leg-D:  
Speed = 36km/9min = 4 km/min

Leg-E: 
Speed = 14km/14min = 1 km/min

From lowest speed to highest speed, they line up like this:

[Leg-E] ==> [Leg-B] ==> [Leg-A] ==> [Leg-C] ==> [Leg-D]
  1.0 . . . . . . . . 1.3 . . . . . . . 1.5 . . . . . . . 2.0 . . . . . . . 4.0 . . . . km/minute   

Whoever drove Leg-D should have been roundly chastised
and then abandoned by the rest of the family.  36 km in 9 minutes
(4 km per minute) is just about 149 miles per hour !

Answer:

Attract

Explanation:

According to the properties of charge, the bodies having unlike charges attract each other and the bodies having like charges repel each other.

As the toy is initially electrically neutral, so as it is divided into two pieces, then according to the conservation of charge, the one piece having positive charge and the other piece having negative charge. As they are unlike charges so they attract each other.

A student carries a backpack for one mile. Another student carries the same backpack for two miles
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Compared to the first student, the second student did twice as much work as the first student.

Explanation:

The work done by the first student will be equal to the Force exerted by the backpack on the student carrying it multiplied by one mile (Distance).  The work done by the second student will be equal to the Force exerted by the backpack on the student carrying it multiplied by two miles (Distance).

Using what you know about acids, bases and pH. Predict what will happen when vinegar is mixed with water. How would mixing bakin
IRINA_888 [86]
Use the pH scale. When vinegar is mixed with water, the pH is 2.4 to 2.6. Baking soda and water has a pH of 9 to 11. this is because baking soda makes water alkaline.
