Answer:
a) 65.83 km
b) 52.664 km/h
Explanation:
Different speed values :
Initial speed : 50 km/h for 15 mins
80 km/h for 25 mins
stops for 55 mins
40 km/h for 30 minutes
<u>a) Determine total distance covered </u>
Speed = distance covered / time
∴ Total distance = ∑speed * time
= ( 50 * 15/60 ) + ( 80*25/60) + ( 40 * 30/60 )
= 65.83 km
<u>b) Average speed </u>
Total distance / time taken
= 65.83 / ( 15 + 25 + 30 ) / 60
= 65.83 / ( 75/60)
= 52.664 km/h
Answer:
1.48 m/s
Explanation:
If it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, then the period for the boat to travel from its highest point back to its highest point again is twice that, which is 2.2 * 2 = 4.4 s
Since wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart, we can calculate the speed that waves are traveling at
6.5 / 4.4 = 1.48 m/s
Note that this is a position vs time graph.
From A to B, the graph is a straight line with a nonzero slope. This indicates a constant velocity.
From B to C, the graph is a straight line with 0 slope. This indicates a constant position, i.e. the object remains stationary.
From C to D, the graph is a straight line with a nonzero slope. This indicates a constant velocity.
