The typical American man has a leg length of 0.85 m and walks at a speed of 1.4 m/s. A giraffe’s legs are 1.8 m long. At what speed do you expect a giraffe to walk? Hint: An animal’s speed is proportional to the length of its legs times the frequency of its strides.
During a time interval of five seconds, a particle
changed its velocity from V = (5i –5j) m/s
to V, = (10i +5j) m/s.
The magnitude of the particle's average acceleration
(in m/s²) during this time interval is:
A. 0.45
