The correct answer you should be looking for is complementary. :)
Answer:
A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s
B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.
Explanation:
Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.
We are given;
d1 = 10 km = 10000 m
d2 = 10 km = 10000 m
Speed; v1 = 15 m/s
Speed; v2 = 25 m/s
Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time
Thus:
d1 = v1 x t1
t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds
Also,
d2 = v2 x t2
t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds
Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s
From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;
More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.
Answer:
a = 3.61[m/s^2]
Explanation:
To find this acceleration we must remember newton's second law which tells us that the total sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
In this case we have:
![F = m*a\\\\m=mass = 3.6[kg]\\F = force = 13[N]\\13 = 3.6*a\\a = 3.61[m/s^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%20m%2Aa%5C%5C%5C%5Cm%3Dmass%20%3D%203.6%5Bkg%5D%5C%5CF%20%3D%20force%20%3D%2013%5BN%5D%5C%5C13%20%3D%203.6%2Aa%5C%5Ca%20%3D%203.61%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D)
The solution for this problem is:
r = [(2.90 + 0.0900t²) i - 0.0150t³ j] m/s²
this is for t in seconds and r in meters
v = dr/dt = [0.180t i - 0.0450t² j] m/s²
tan(-36.0º) = -0.0450t² / 0.180t
0.7265 = 0.25t
t = 2.91 s is the velocity vector of the insect
