You drive a car for 2.0 h at 60 km/h, then for another 3.0 h at 85 km/h. What is your average velocity

Answer:

Explanation:

Average velocity is found in the total displacement experienced in the trip divided by the total time it took to make this trip. If, for the first 2.0 hours, the car travels at 60 km/hr, then in 2.0 hours the car can travel 120 km; if it then travels for 3.0 at 85 km/hr, it can travel 255 km in the same direction. The total time this took was 5.0 hours. So doing the math and rounding correctly by following the rules for the adding and subtracting of sig fig's:

$v=\frac{120+255}{5.0}=\frac{380}{5.0}=76\frac{km}{hr}$

If you do not round when you add, the average velocity is 75 km/hr

A man 2 meters tall walks at the rate of 2 meters per second toward a streetlight that's 5 meters above the ground. At what rate

GaryK [48]

Answer:

It changes at a rate of 4/3 meter per second

Explanation:

In the given figure below we have

$\Delta OBD\simeq \Delta ABC\\\\\therefore \frac{5}{X+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\$

Solving for Y given $X=2m/s$ we get

$\frac{5}{2+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\5Y=4+2Y\\\\Y=\frac{4}{3}m/s$

What type of evidence is needed for a hypothesis to be supported or not supported?

NISA [10]

Answer:

Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.

A student made the claim that a 4 gram paintball fired from a paintball gun at 90 m/s could have about the same kinetic energy a

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

I do agree with the student. Because imagene you have a tissue and a stick. And you throw them at the same speed , the stick will go farther because it' s heavier but the tissue would just blow around and not go forward because it is not heavy enought.

Explanation:

Hope this is correct have a terrific day.

Talia is on a road trip with some friends. In the first 2 hours, they travel 100 miles. Then they hit traffic and go only 30 mil

emmainna [20.7K]

Since Speed, V = Distance/Time
Average speed = Total Distance/Total Time

From the given data, Total Distance = 100 + 30 + 75 miles
and Total Time = 2 + 1 + 1 hours

Average Speed = 205/4
Average Speed = 51.25 mph ( or 51mph to the nearest whole number)
