Average Speed


The motion of a car, which moves with constant speed, is described by the following table:

t (h) 1 2 4 7 9 11 12
S (km) 100 200 450 600 400 200 100

from the table data find:
a) The average speed of the car between the instants 1 h and 2 h;
b) The average speed of the car between the instants 4 h and 7 h;
c) The average speed of the car between the instants 9 h and 12 h;
d) The average speed of the car between the instants 1 and 12 h.

The biggest known star (until June 2019) is VY Canis Majoris in the constellation of Canis Major, with an estimated diameter of 1,975,000,000 km. Making the (absurd) assumption that a commercial jet could fly close to the surface of the star at a constant speed of 990 km / h. How long would the jet take for a spin on the star. Answer in years.

A worker leaves his house and walks for 600 meters in 5 minutes to the bus stop, as soon as he reaches the bus stop he takes the bus and travels for 40 minutes at a constant speed of 18 kilometers per hour to the factory where he works. If he took the entire route by bike, at a constant speed of 6 meters per second. How long would it take from home to the factory? Answer in minutes.

One-Dimensional Motion with Constant Speed


The motion of a body is described by the displacement as a function of time

b) The speed;
c) The instant in which the body passes through the origin;
d) The position of the body at time 4 h.

A motorcyclist moves in the opposite direction of an oriented frame of reference, the magnitude of its speed is 40 m/s, and initially, his position is −150 m. Find:
a) The displacement as a function of time;
b) In what time he passes the origin.

During a thunderstorm, a man sees lightning but hears thunder 5 seconds later. The speed of sound in air is constant and equal to 340 m/s. Determine:
a) The distance between the man and the place of lightning;
b) The time it took for light to go from the location of the lightning to the point where the man is. The speed of light equal to 300,000 km/s.

A high-speed train with a constant speed of 234 km/h runs through a 620 m long tunnel, the length of the train is 160 m. What is the time interval to cross the tunnel?

Two boats depart from the same point and travel on the same straight line, with a constant speed of 25 km/h and 35 km/h. Communication between the two boats is possible by radio as long as the distance between them does not exceed 600 km. Find the time interval during which the two boats can communicate, in the following cases:
a) The two boats move in the same direction;
b) The slower boat departs two hours before the other and moves in the same direction;
c) The two boats depart at the same time and move in opposite directions.

During a fog, a navigator receives two signals simultaneously sent by a station on the coast, one through the air and the other through the water. Between the receptions of the two sounds, an interval of time, t=5 seconds, elapses. Under the conditions of the experiment, the speed of sound in the air is 341 m/s and 1504 m/s in the water. Determine the distance x between the boat and the station emitting the signals.

An earthquake generates two types of waves that propagate along the surface. Primary waves (P-wave) travel at a speed of 8 km/s, and secondary waves (S-wave) travel at a speed of 5 km/s. An observer is at a certain distance from the earthquake's epicenter and receives the primary waves first, followed by the secondary waves. How far is the observer from the epicenter if the secondary waves arrive 80 seconds after the primary waves?

c) The instant in which it passes through the origin of the reference frame;
d) The instant that its speed is zero.

A car moves along a straight road with a speed of 200 km/h. When this car passes through another car, initially at rest at a gas station, it begins to move with a constant acceleration of 4.5 m/s2 until it reaches the speed of 200 km/h. Determine:
a) What is the time elapsed until the car leaving the gas station reaches the speed of 200 km/h?
b) How far are they from each other when their speeds are equal?
