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 !

ELEN [110]

Remember that the total velocity of the motion is the vector sum of the velocity you would have in still water and the stream. Always place the vectors carefully to be able to come up with an accurate sum vector.

Q3. (a) 0m/s, as they are asking for initial velocit.
(b)(i) The paper has a large surface area or weighs less than the coin,thus,falls smoothly.
(ii)The coin has more mass than the paper.
(c) They fall at the same acceleration and hit the bottom at the same time.
Their mass doesn't matter in the vacuum.

Technician A says that the starter motor used to crank diesel engines can draw up to 400 amps of current. Technician B says that
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: Option A : Technician A

Explanation:

The statement/observation, "that the starter motor used to crank diesel engines can draw up to 400 amps of current" made by Technician A is correct.

A diesel engine uses up to 400+ Amperes of electricity to start up a diesel engine in the ignition chamber of motor engine.

Carbon dioxide in a piston-‐‐cylinder is expanded in a polytropic manner. The initialtemperature and pressure are 400 K and 550
Arisa [49]

Answer:

 q_poly = 14.55 KJ/kg

Explanation:

Given:

Initial State:

P_i = 550 KPa

T_i = 400 K

Final State:

T_f = 350 K

Constants:

R = 0.189 KJ/kgK

k = 1.289 = c_p / c_v

n = 1.2   (poly-tropic index)

Find:

Determine the heat transfer per kg in the process.

Solution:

-The heat transfer per kg of poly-tropic process is given by the expression:

                            q_poly = w_poly*(k - n)/(k-1)

- Evaluate w_poly:

                            w_poly = R*(T_f - T_i)/(1-n)

                            w_poly = 0.189*(350 - 400)/(1-1.2)

                            w_poly = 47.25 KJ/kg

-Hence,

                           q_poly = 47.25*(1.289 - 1.2)/(1.289-1)

                           q_poly = 14.55 KJ/kg
