A balloon drifts 140 m toward the west in 45 s; then the wind suddenly changes and the balloon flies 90 m toward the east in the next 25 s. a. What distance did it travel during the first 45 s? b. What distance did it travel during the next 25 s? c. What total distance did it travel? d. What was its average speed during the first 45 s? e. What was its average speed during the next 25 s? f. What was its average speed for the entire trip? g. What was its displacement during the first 45 s? h. What was its displacement during the next 25 s? i. What was its total displacement?

Explanation:

Given

1 ) 140 m west in 45 s .

2 ) 90 m east in 25 s .

a )

distance travelled in first 45 s = 140 m

b ) distance travelled in next 25 s = 90 m

c ) Total distance travelled = 140 m + 90 m

= 230 m

d ) average speed in first 45 s

= distance in 45 s  45

= 140 / 45 = 3.11 m /s

e ) average speed in next 25 s

distance in 25 s / 25

= 90 / 25 = 3.6 m /s

f ) average in entire trip

=  total distance / total time

= (140 + 90) / ( 25 + 45 )

= 3.28 m /s

g )

displacement in first 45 s = 140 m towards west

h )

displacement in next 25 s = 90 m towards east

i )

total displacement = 140 - 90

= 50 m towards west .
