Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)

Average speed = (4+7+1+2 blox) / (1 hour)

<em>Average speed = 14 blocks/hour</em>

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess:

I'm guessing that there's another question glued onto the end of this one, and it asks you to find either her displacement or her average velocity. I'm so sure of this that I'm gonna give you the solution for that too. If there's no more question, then you won't need this, and you can just discard it. I won't mind.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

"Displacement" = distance and direction from the start point to the end point, regardless of how she got there.

Displacement = (4E + 7W + 1E + 2W)

Displacement = (5E + 9W)

<em>Displacement = 4 blocks west</em>

Average velocity = (4 blocks west) / (1 hour)

<em>Average velocity = 4 blocks/hour West</em>

It is night. Someone who is 4 feet tall is walking away from a street light at a rate of 8 feet per second. The street light is

KiRa [710]

Answer: 4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of man $=4 ft$

speed of person $v=8 ft/s$

height if street light $=12 ft$

Let x be the distance between person and street light and y be the length of his shadow

From diagram

as the two triangle ADE and ABC are similar therefore we can say that

$\frac{4}{12}=\frac{y}{x+y}$

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{y}{x+y}$

$x+y=3y$

$x=2y$

differentiate above Equation w.r.t time we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{8}{2}=4 ft/s$

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 560 miles per hour. How far can it travel in 1 1/2 hours?

Alik [6]

You would multiply the speed by the time. So the answer would be 840 miles.

The wind direction changed from morning to night because land and water absorbing solar energy unequally.

<h3>Convection current</h3>

Convection is said to occur when there is heat transfer by an actual movement of participles from place to place. The movement of air mass (wind) is affected by the relative amounts of solar energy absorbed by the land and sea.

Hence, the wind direction changed from morning to night because land and water absorbing solar energy unequally.

daser333 [38]

Answer: D

1200

Explanation:

Song 1 is spotted with a cube sign.

At 3 minute, trace the spot to the vertical axis. And you will notice that it a little bit above 10.

Since it is above 10, let assume it is equal to 12.
