Answer:

<em>The average speed needed is 68.4 mi/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Average Speed </u>

If an object travels a distance d in a time t regardless of the direction, the average speed is the quotient of the distance over the time:

$\displaystyle V=\frac{d}{t}$

The distance to get to Denver from the Hamilton Street Campus is d=1,778 miles. An estimated time of t=26 hours should be needed to cover that distance, thus you will need to travel at an average speed of:

$\displaystyle V=\frac{1,778\ mi}{26\ h}$

V = 68.4 mi/h

The average speed needed is 68.4 mi/h

A constant force of 12N is applied for 3.0s to a body initially at rest. The final velocity of the body is 6.0ms–1. What is the

sp2606 [1]

From the question,
$u = 0m {s}^{ - 1}$
$v = 6m {s}^{ - 1}$

$t = 3s$
$F=12N$

Using Impulse, the product of the constant force, F and time t equals the product of the mass of the body and change in velocity.

$Ft =m(v-u)$

$12(3.0)=m(6.0- \: 0)$
This implies that

$36.0 = 6m$
$m = \frac{36.0}{6.0}$
$\therefore \: m = 6.0kg$

You can also use the equation of linear motion,
$v = u + at$
$6 = 0 + a(3)$
$6 = 3a$
$a = \frac{6}{3}$

$a = 2 {ms}^{ - 2}$
But
$F=ma$
$12 = m(2)$
$12 = 2m$
$\frac{12}{2} = m$
$\therefore \: m = 6kg$
