how far did joe go during the first 45 minutes?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The question "how far" is not the same as "how fast"

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you go 60 miles per hour for 1 hour, how far would you go?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you 60 miles per hour for 30 minutes, how far would you go?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you go 70 km per hour for 1 hour, how far would you go?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you go 70 km per hour for 45 minutes, how far would you go?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Very good.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you go 95 km per hour for 10 minutes, how far would you go?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Good

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you go 55 km per hour for 30 minutes, how far would you go?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So now Joe has gone 52.5 km +15.8 km + 27.5 km. How far has he gone in all

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And he did all that in 45 + 10 + 30 + 20 minutes which is how many hours?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Or 1.75 hours

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So he went 95.8 km in 1.75 hours How many kilometers per hour is that?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And that is his average speed.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw. Do you understand?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I can try.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

This is the same idea as the last one.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Find the total distance and divide by the total time to get the average velocity just like the last one.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That's what is puzzling about the answer choices. The question asks about the round trip average speed and all the answers except 1 deal with half of the trip and the one answer that doesn't is 0.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you type the last answer choice incorrectly?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you type the last answer choice incorrectly?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So one of the answer choices is that the average speed is 0 ???

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well then, none of it makes any sense to me because it wants to know the average velocity for the round trip.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The round trip is 60 meters and it took 34 seconds. So the average velocity is 60/34 which is 1.76 m per sec and that is not one of the choices.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And so I wish you would double and triple check EVERYTHING to make sure it is posted EXACTLY as written.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It would be 1.79 m per second if you did it that way

OpenStudy (mertsj):

From south to north would be 2 m per second From north to south would be 1.58 m per second

OpenStudy (mertsj):

For the second half, he went 30 m in 19 seconds so it is 1.58 m/s

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Is sit a computer quiz?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Will you know if it is right as soon as you submit it?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Were there 10 questions?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And you can't review the quiz?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I agree. Sure would like to know what they meant by that question.
