"On a good day, it takes Mr. Hess 23 minutes (1380 seconds) to drive the 12 miles (19,300 meters). What is his average velocity

on the way to school?"
I uh, don't understand this at all. If someone could help me solve this, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Answer:

$a_y=0.92m/s^2$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the formula for accelerated motion:

$y=y_0+v_{y0}t+\frac{a_yt^2}{2}$

We will take the initial position as our reference ( $y_0=0m$ ) and the downward direction as positive. Since the rock departs from rest we have:

$y=\frac{a_yt^2}{2}$

Which means our acceleration would be:

$a_y=\frac{2y}{t^2}$

Using our values:

$a_y=\frac{2(0.86m)}{(1.37s)^2}=0.92m/s^2$

A pulling force is called what?<br> A. normal<br> B. tension<br> C. balanced<br> D. compression

joja [24]

<span>There is no special name for that. Physics is usually just concerned with "forces", and doesn't specify whether the force pushes or pulls. If you want to be more specific, you can just call it a "pulling force".
I hoped this was satisfying!:)</span>
