Amaya ran around 3 times around a 1 mile track in 45 minutes, what was her average velocity for the trip?

Average Velocity=0, Average speed=4mph

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that motiont is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this motion, the Amaya will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:  

The trajectory is the path followed by Amaya, the distance it travelled (is a scalar quantity).  

The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position (is a vector quantity).

On the other hand, the velocity is a vector quantity and speed is its magnitude (a scalar quantity).

So, since Amaya ran around a closed track, the distance between her initial position and final position is zero, hence her average velocity is zero .

Now, in the case of her average speed , this can be calculated by the following equation:

Where:

is the covered distance (the trajectory)

is the time it took to Amaya to cover the mentioned distance

Then:

Finally:

thermal energy is the answer

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
