Step-by-step explanation:
Item 1:
Given:
d=8 km=8,000 m
t=12 min=720 s
Unknown:
s= ?
Equation:
s=d/t
Substitution:
s=(8000 m)/(720 s)=11.11 m/s
Answer:
11.11 m/s
Item 2:
Given:
s=60 km/h
t=5 hrs
Unknown:
d= ?
Equation:
d=st
Substitution:
d=60 km/h∙5 hrs=300 km
Answer:
300 km
Item 3.a:
Given:
d=5 km+2 km+3 km=10 km
t=2 hrs+1 hr+1.5 hrs=4.5 hrs
Unknown:
s= ?
Equation:
s=d/t
Substitution:
s=(10 km)/(4.5 h)=2.22 km/h
Answer:
2.22 km/h
Item 3.b:
Given:
Δv=5 km+2 km+3 km=10 km
t=2 hrs+1 hr+1.5 hrs=4.5 hrs
Unknown:
v ̅= ?
Equation:
v ̅=Δv/t
Substitution:
v ̅=(10 km)/(4.5 h)=2.22 km/h
Answer:
2.22 km/h
Item 4:
Given:
d=400 km
s=45 km/h
Unknown:
t= ?
Equation:
t=d/s
Substitution:
s=(400 km )/(45 km/h)=8.889 hrs
Answer:
8.889 hrs
Item 5.a:
Given:
d=3 km+2 km=5 km
t=1 hr+0.5 hr=1.5 hrs
Unknown:
s= ?
Equation:
s=d/t
Substitution:
s=(5 km)/(1.5 hrs)=3.33 km/h
Answer:
3.33 km/h
Item 5.b:
Given:
Δx=3 km+2 km=5 km
t=1 hr+0.5 hr=1.5 hrs
Unknown:
v ̅= ?
Equation:
v ̅=Δx/t
Substitution:
v ̅=(5 km)/(1.5 hrs)=3.33 km/h
Answer:
3.33 km/h
