A block is pulled 0.90 m to the right in 4.5 s. What is the block's average speed to the nearest tenth of m/s?

The average speed of the blocks are 0.36 m/s.

Explanation:

Average speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered per unit time. So if it is said that blocks are pulled to 0.9 m in the right side. This means the blocks cover a distance of 0.9 m from the origin and that distance is covered in 2.5 s. Thus, the average speed can be calculated from the change in speed with respect to time. As at time t = 0 , the speed is also zero, and at time t = 2.5 s , the speed will be.

Since, in this case, the speed is equal to the average speed of blocks. So the average speed of the blocks will be 0.36 m/s.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
