George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his velocity in meters per second?
Also, is the acceleration due to gravity negative or positive or it depends?
I'm really confused. Please help and explain in an easy to understand.
can you help with question B.
A fast train bump into a slow train going the same direction, and they get coupled together. The fast train was initially going 6.93 meters per second and the slow train 3.1 meters per second. What is the final speed (in meters per second) once the two are coupled?

Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardMigrating land mammals are often called runners because of the large distances that they can cover in one day. The velocity (speed) of a migrating land mammal or runner in relation to its mass can be modeled by the equation V(m) = 9.31m0.12, where m is the mass of the animal in kilograms and V is the velocity in kilometers per day. Round your answers to the tenths place, if necessary. Part A: Complete the table by determining the velocity of several different runners.
