Answer:
see below
Explanation:
First, the obvious, as you press the gas pedal harder the acceleration goes up as well. Conversely, is you do not press the pedal, you will not accelerate. This determines that is I press the gas pedal, it will CAUSE the car to accelerate. This proves causation.
Now, correlation. The definition of correlation in statistics is any statistical relationship between two random variables or data. This simply means that these two events are connected to one another. A POSITIVE correlation is when two correlated events move in the same direction as one another. I have added a graph to help visualize this. In this problem as the gas is pressed harder, the acceleration increases. If the pressure on the pedal was decreased, then the acceleration also decreases. If the pressure on the pedal is constant, the the acceleration is constant.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
a) S = 63.2 km/h
b) V = 63.2 km/h*(-0.316 , 0.949)
Explanation:
Let's define:
North as the positive y-axis
East as the positive x-axis.
Also, remember the relation:
Distance = Time*Speed
Let's assume that she starts at the position (0km, 0km)
Then she travels due North at 90km/h for two hours, then the displacement is
90km/h*2h = 180km to the north
Then the new position is:
(0km, 180km)
Then she travels West at 60km/h for one hour.
Then the distance traveled to the West (negative x-axis) is:
60km/h*1h = 60km to the west
Then the new position is:
(-60km, 180km).
a) The average speed is defined as the quotient between the displacement and the time.
We know that the total time traveled is 3 hours.
And the displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.
this is:
D = √( -60km - 0km)^2 + (180km - 0km)^2)=
D = √( (60km)^2 + (180km)^2) = 189.7 km
Then the average speed is:
S = (189.7 km)/(3 h) = 63.2 km/h
b) Now we want to find the average velocity, this will be equal to the average speed times a versor that points from the origin to the direction of the final position.
So, if the final position is (-60km, 180km)
We need to find a vector that represents the same angle, but that is on the unit circle.
Then, if the module of the final position is 189.7 km (as we found above), then the versor is just given by:
(-60km/ 189.7 km, 180km/ 189.7 km)
(-60/189.7 , 180/189.7)
We can just check that the module of the above versor is 1.
Then the average velocity is:
V = 63.2 km/h*(-60/189.7 , 180/189.7)
We can simplify our versor so the velocity equation is easier to read:
V = 63.2 km/h*(-0.316 , 0.949)
