During a relay race, you run the first leg of the race, a distance of 1.8 ✕ 102 m to the north, in 22.34 s. You then run the same distance back to the south in 24.20 s in the second leg of the race. Suppose the positive y axis points to the north. (Express your answers in vector form). (a) What is your average velocity for the first leg of the relay race? vav, y = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. m/s (b) What is your average velocity for the entire race? vav, y = Correct: Your answer is correct. m/s

Solutions

Expert Solution

Average velocity is defined as

                                  

(a) In first leg of the race, the total displacement was 180 m towards north. In vector notation, we can write

                                    

And total time of motion was 22.34 seconds.

Therefore, average velocity in the first leg of race was

                                 

(b) The total displacement in entire race was 0 m (As initial and final position was same).

So, average velocity in entire race is

During the first half of a 3.0 mile bike race with a friend of yours, your friend bikes the whole way at a constant speed of 23 mi/hr. You start from rest and accelerate constantly from the beginning. You both are neck-and-neck at the half-way point of the race. For the second half of the race, you maintain the same speed you had at the half-way point. How much faster does your friend need to bike in order to tie...
