You are driving home from school steadily at 95 km/h for 180 km. it then begins to rain and you slow to 65 km/h. you arrive home after driving for 4.5 h. a. how far is your hometown from school? b. what was your average speed?

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, for this purpose we will define the time of each of the sections in which the speed is different. After determining the segments of these speeds we can calculate the average distance and the average speed. Our values are given as

x = 180 km

v = 95 km / h

Speed can be described as the displacement of a body per unit of time, and from that definition clearing the time we would have

From the statement we have that the total time is 4.5, then he remaining time is

When it starts to rain there is a phase change in the speed which is given by

Then the distance travel in this velocity

(a).  Distance of your hometown from school ,

(b) The  average speed

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
