Answer:
Halfway between B and A on the return leg.
Explanation:
Your average SPEED for the entire trip will equal your constant speed as the time and distance increase at proportionate rates.
Your average VELOCITY will equal your constant speed while you travel from A to B because time and displacement are increasing at proportionate rates.
When you turn around at B to return, your Displacement is now decreasing while your travel time continues to increase, so your average velocity decreases.
Lets say the distance from A to B is 90 km and your constant speed is 30 km/hr.
your average speed is 30 km/hr because you took 6 hrs to travel 180 km
We want to find your position when your average velocity is 30/3 = 10 km/hr
it took 3 hrs to go 90 km from A to B. Let t be the time lapsed since turn around
your displacement is given by d = 90 - 30(t)
and your total time of travel is t + 3 hrs
v = d/t
10 = (90 - 30t) / (t + 3)
10(t + 3) = (90 - 30t)
10t + 30 = 90 - 30t
40t = 60
t = 1.5 hrs
This will occur when you are halfway between B and A
An indicator of average kinetic energy is temperature. Temperature is directly proportional to Kinetic energy of the molecules of an element.
Answer:
Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km
Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km
Explanation:
If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where is the speed of the automobile and the speed of the train.
So we have .
So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:
And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):
If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:
The correct answer to this is (A. Units Only).
It shows that there is a velocity of 35, but the units are missing.
Scientists could investigate this idea by making cathode ray tubes out of different materials to see if the ray was the same.
