Upon arriving there 15 minutes (0.25 h) after he left home, he suddenly realizes he forgot his grocery list. He immediately turns around and heads back towards home. After travelling 6.8 miles due west in 12 minutes (0.20 h), the car runs out of gas. What is his average speed during the not-quite-completed trip?arrow_forward

- I had a dream last night that I was chased by my teddy bear. In my dream, I was sleepwalking at a constant velocity of 60ft/sec. At exactly 4:00 am I noticed my teddy bear standing 1000 feet behind me. At that instant I began to accelerate at 10 ft/sec/sec and the teddy bear began to accerlate after me at 12 ft/sec/sec. At the moment the bear caught up to me, I woke from my dream in a cold sweat. To the nearest second, What time was this?arrow_forwardA car has an initial velocity of 17.8 m/s (SOUTH). The car has an unknown acceleration for a time of 7.11 seconds, at which point the car has a final velocity of 4.20 m/s (NORTH). During this time what is the car's displacement?arrow_forwardA car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +39.5 m/s when its engine cuts out. For the next 2.81 seconds, the car slows down, and its average acceleration is a,. For the next 5.65 seconds, the car slows down further, and its average acceleration is ₂. The velocity of the car at the end of the 8.46-second period is +28.6 m/s. The ratio of the average acceleration values is ā,/₂ = 1.78. Find the velocity of the car at the end of the initial 2.81-second interval. 2arrow_forward
