car travels 80 meters due north in 12 seconds then the car turns around and travels 30 Mi do South in 4 seconds calculate the average speed and average velocity of the car during this 60-second interval use guess method

1) 3.1 m/s

2) 7 m/s

Explanation:

Distance due north = 80 m

Distance due south = 30 m

Distance between north and south = (80 - 30) m = 50 m

Total time = (12 + 4) sec = 16 sec

1) Average speed = 50/16 = 3.1 m/s

2) Average velocity = Total distance/total time = (80 + 30) m/16 s = 110/16 = 7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
