A train is moving with a constant speed. The train moves 60 meters for every 1.5 seconds that elapses. a. Assume that we get 40 by dividing 60 by 1.5. What is the name that is commonly given to a quantity represented by this number 40? b. To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides the number 40? c. How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? Your answer should mention distance and time. d.

- 1. A car is travelling towards the start line and the timer starts timing when the car crosses the start line. When the car crosses the start line, it is travelling at 5 m.s1. The car maintains its speed for 3 seconds then speeds up to 8 m.s1 in 4 seconds. It maintains this speed for 1 second then brakes hard and comes to a rest in 3 seconds. 10 9. 8. 7 3 2 1 0. 0 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 Time (s) a) What is the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 7 s? b) What is the displacement? c) What is the average velocity of the car for the journey? 5 4- Velocity (m/s)arrow_forward6.
