A reconnaissance plane flies 560 km away from its base at 602 m/s, then flies back to its base at 903 m/s. What is its average speed?
Answer in units of m/s.

Approximately .

Explanation:

The average speed of a vehicle is calculated as:

.

In this question, the total distance is .

The unit of the speeds in this question is meters per second, while the unit of distance is kilometers. Convert the unit of distance to meters:

.

.

Time required for the first part of this trip:

.

Time required for the second part of this trip:

.

The time required for the entire trip would be approximately .

Calculate the average speed of this plane:

.

the higher the current the higher the mag field around it the higher the influence on the compass

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
