Answer:
5.) 16.8 m/s
6.) 16.1 mph
7.) Moving fast.
Explanation:
5.) From the question, the total time will be:
7:33 am to 7:45 am = 12 minutes
As the car turns around,
7 : 45 am to 8 : 00am = 15 minutes
As you get back in the car and drive 15
miles north to school at a constant speed arriving at school at 8:29 am
8:00am to 8:29 am = 29 minutes
Total time = 12 + 15 + 29 = 56 minutes
Convert the minutes to second by multiplying the result by 60
Total time = 56 × 60 = 3360 seconds
Total distance covered will be
10 miles + 10 miles + 15 miles = 35 miles
Convert mile to meter by multiplying the result by 1609.344
35 × 1609.344 = 56327.04
Speed is a scale quantity. It only involves magnitude but no direction.
Average speed = total distance/total time
Average speed = 56327.04/3360
Average speed = 16.764 m/s
6.) Velocity = displacement/time
Velocity is a vector quantity. We will consider both the magnitude and direction
Total displacement = 10 miles - 10 miles + 15 miles = 15 miles.
Total time = 56 minutes
Convert minutes to hours by dividing it by 60
Total time = 56/60 = 0.93 hours
Substitute the time and displacement into the formula
Velocity = 15/0.93 = 16.07 mph
7.) . If you looked at your speedometer on your drive to school and it read 30mph, this value describes you move with a fast speed.
