[#261] Andromeda Galaxy The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light-years or 2.4 1022 m from our Milky Way galaxy, and the component of its velocity towards us is about 3.0 105 m. s-1. If it maintained this velocity component towards us, how long would it take to cover 2.4 1022 m? about 1.3 109 years about 2.6 109 years about 6.5 103 years about 8.0 103 years 3. [#262] Keeping up the average You have boasted to your friends that you can ride your bicycle at 30 kph (km per hour) over a 30 km race comprising two 15 km laps. However, when you finish the first lap, your coach tells you that your average speed so far is only 15 kph. How fast must you ride to bring your average speed up to 30 kph.? between 30 and 40 kph between 40 and 50 kph between 50 and 60 kph between 60 and 100 kph faster than 100 kph 1 point 1 point 1 point 4. [#263] Catching up Jane's brother Andrew leaves home for school at 8:00 am. He walks at 4.8 kph. At 8:20 am Jane discovers that Andrew has left his homework at home. She decides to follow him on her bicycle and give him his homework, but she wants to be back home in time for an online test at 9 am. What is the minimum constant speed at which she needs to ride? (Hint: At what time of day will they meet?) Jane must ride at least kph. Enter answer here 5. [#264] Speeding car A car accelerates with a constant acceleration of 2.1 m s along a long straight road. How long does it take the car to accelerate from 100 kph to 110 kph, and how far does it travel while doing so? [Hint: watch your units and sig figs! Because there is no other information, take the speeds as three significant figures.] It takes seconds to accelerate to 110 kph. While accelerating, the car travels m.
