Answer:
v_average = 15 m / s
Explanation:
The average speed can be found in two ways,
* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent
* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction
v_average = 1 / t_total ∑ vi ti
Let's apply this last equation
Total time is
t = t₁ + t₂
t = 10 + 10 = 20 min
v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20
v_average = 10/2 + 20/2
v_average = 15 m / s
Answer:
4.16m/s²
Explanation:
According to Newtons second law;
Fm is the moving force
is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
a is the acceleration of the child
Substitute the given values and get the acceleration as shown;
35(9.8)sin27.5 - 0.415(35)(cos27.5) = 35a
158.38-12.88 = 35a
145.49 = 35a
a = 145.49/35
a = 4.16m/s²
Hence the acceleration of the body is 4.16m/s²
