1.)A tank travels at a rate of 10.0 km/hr for 12.00 minutes, then at 15.0 km/hr for 8.00
minutes, then turns 180 degrees at 20.0 km/hr for 12.00 minutes. What is the total
distance covered in km by the tank? What is the average speed for the complete trip in
m/s? What is the change of position of the tank? What is its average velocity?

Respuesta :

12.00 min = 0.2 hr

8.00 min = 0.15 hr

Total distance:

(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) + (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)

= 8.25 km

Average speed:

(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr + 20.0 km/hr) / 3

= 15 km/hr

Change in position:

(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) - (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)

= 0.25 km

Average velocity:

(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr - 20.0 km/hr) / 3

≈ 1.67 m/s
