how far did joe go during the first 45 minutes?
The question "how far" is not the same as "how fast"
If you go 60 miles per hour for 1 hour, how far would you go?
If you 60 miles per hour for 30 minutes, how far would you go?
If you go 70 km per hour for 1 hour, how far would you go?
If you go 70 km per hour for 45 minutes, how far would you go?
Very good.
If you go 95 km per hour for 10 minutes, how far would you go?
Good
If you go 55 km per hour for 30 minutes, how far would you go?
So now Joe has gone 52.5 km +15.8 km + 27.5 km. How far has he gone in all
And he did all that in 45 + 10 + 30 + 20 minutes which is how many hours?
Or 1.75 hours
So he went 95.8 km in 1.75 hours How many kilometers per hour is that?
And that is his average speed.
yw. Do you understand?
I can try.
This is the same idea as the last one.
Find the total distance and divide by the total time to get the average velocity just like the last one.
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.
Did you type the last answer choice incorrectly?
Did you type the last answer choice incorrectly?
So one of the answer choices is that the average speed is 0 ???
Well then, none of it makes any sense to me because it wants to know the average velocity for the round trip.
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.
And so I wish you would double and triple check EVERYTHING to make sure it is posted EXACTLY as written.
It would be 1.79 m per second if you did it that way
From south to north would be 2 m per second From north to south would be 1.58 m per second
For the second half, he went 30 m in 19 seconds so it is 1.58 m/s
Is sit a computer quiz?
Will you know if it is right as soon as you submit it?
Were there 10 questions?
And you can't review the quiz?
I agree. Sure would like to know what they meant by that question.
