6. A train is moving with a constant speed. The train moves 60 meters for every 1.5 seconds that elapses. 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? а. b. To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides the number 40? с. How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? Your answer should mention distance and time. d. Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the distance the train moves in 2.5 seconds.

According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the world and they've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a hundred meter dash in 5.85 seconds which human on stimulants doesn't even approach. a. Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred-meter statement. b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell. c.

hat number w.ww The word "units" refers to the corresponding quantity of something. For example, 2 is a number; 2 seconds is a physical quantity that has the units of second. In physics problems, are usually not looking for a number; we are looking for a need to also know the units. If you do not include units with the answer, you will not receive physical quantity, which means we full credit. Physicists are very nitpicky about this! 8.

A truck is making a delivery and must take a few roads to go around a lake. The truck starts driving at 24 m/s [14 N of E] for 18 minutes. It then turns into a new road and drives 20 m/s [10 E of N] for 12 minutes. Finally, it drives 22 m/s [W] for 30 minutes. (Don't forget to convert to metres when solving and please include diagrams). a. What is the truck's displacement from its starting point? b. Calculate the average speed and average velocity over the entire trip.
