An antelope moving with constant acceleration covers the distance between two points
70 meters apart in 7 seconds. Its speed as it passes the second point is 15 m/s.
a. What is its speed at the first point?
Ben Torres decides to run a race against... well... himself. It's COVID world, so things are different. Anyways, he wants to run a 100 m dash. He starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 3.4 m/s2 while covering a total of 11 m.a) How fast is he going after he runs the first 11 m?b) How long does it take him to run the first 11 m?
A honda civic is driven at 20 m/s for 12 mins, then 40 m/s for 20 min, and finally at 50 m/s for 8 min.
a.) calculate the average speed over the interval.
b.) How fast must the honda civic move in the last 8 mins of travel to obtain an average spee of 55 m/s?
