A pilot flew a jet from Montreal to Los Angeles, a distance of 2500 mi. On the return trip, the average speed was 20% faster than the outbound speed. The round-trip took 9 h 10 min. What was the speed from Montreal to Los Angeles?
A hippopotamus can run up to 9.86 m/s. Suppose a hippopotamus
uniformly accelerates 0.28 m/s² until it reaches a top speed of 9.86
m/s. If the hippopotamus has run 25.1 m, what is its initial speed in
m/s? (round your answer to two decimal places; DO NOT include units)
A man decided to ride his car at 10 kph for the first 5 seconds. He then accelerates at 1 m/s for the next 5 seconds, 2 m/s for the next 5 seconds, 3 m/s2 for the next 5 seconds, and so on and so forth.
(a) At what time will he reach a velocity of 60 kph?
(b) What is the total distance (m) traveled after he has reached a velocity of 60 kph?
