The driver of a car traveling at a speed of 27 m/s slams on the brakes and comes to a stop in 3 s. If we assume that the speed changed at a constant rate (constant net force), what was the average speed during this 3 s interval

Average speed = 13.5 m/s

Explanation:

Since the car is running at a speed of 27 m/s  and it stops after 3 seconds by applying the brake. Therefore, the initial speed of the 27 m/s and final speed is 0.

Use below formula to find the average speed :

Average speed = (Initial speed + final speed ) / 2  

Average speed = (27 + 0 ) / 2

Average speed = 13.5 m/s

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.

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.
