10. Suppose the tern travels 1.70*10^ km south, only to encounter bad weatherInstead of trying to fly around the stormthe tem tu

ms around and travels 6.00 * 10 ^ 2 10'north wait out the stormIt then tums around again immediately and flies 144 to Antarctica What are the average speed and velocity if it makes this in 122 days ?

We can define average speed as the quotient between the whole distance traveled and the time it takes to travel that distance, and the velocity as the quotient between the displacement and the time it takes to displace that quantity.

We will find that:

Average speed =  2.6×10^2 km/day

Velocity = 2.52×10^2 km/day

So we know that:

The tent travels:

1.70×10^4 km to the south

6.00×10^2 km to the north

1.44×10^4 km to the south.

The total distance traveled is just the sum of the 3 above distances:

total distance = 1.70×10^4 km +  6.00×10^2 km + 1.44×10^4 km

Notice that the second term has a different exponent than the others, so to have the same exponent we can write:

6.00×10^2 km = 0.06×10^4 km

Now we get:

total distance = 1.70×10^4 km + 0.06×10^4 km + 1.44×10^4 km

total distance = (1.70 + 0.06 + 1.44)×10^4 km

<u>total distance = 3.2×10^4 km</u>

And it travels that distance in 122 days, then the average speed is:

AS = (3.2×10^4 km)/(122 days) = 2.6×10^2 km/day

Now we need to find the displacement, which is the difference between the final position and the initial position, the displacement will just be:

d =  1.70×10^4 km - 0.06×10^4 km + 1.44×10^4 km

(We add the distance traveled to south and subtract the distance that it travels due north)

d = (1.70 - 0.06 + 1.44)×10^4 km = 3.08×10^4 km

Then the velocity will be:

v = (3.08×10^4 km)/(122 days) = 2.52×10^2 km/day

Because we defined south as positive and north as negative, having a positive velocity means that the direction of the <u>velocity is due south.</u>

An airplane has a starting velocity of 300m/s. It then accelerates at a rate of 45m/s2 for a time of 10s. What is it's final vel
Olenka [21]
A = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

45 = (v - 300) / 10

45 × 10 = v - 300

450 + 300 = v

v = 750 m/s

Hope this helps!

P.S. Let me know if you need an explanation

How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?
Wittaler [7]

Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force.  The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.
