His speed is (500/60) m/s = 8-1/3 m/s .

His velocity can't be completely specified using the information in the question.
Its magnitude is 8-1/3 m/s. But in order to also state the direction of his velocity,
we would also need to know the direction of his velocity.

When was the wrecking ball invented?

The wrecking ball was invented in the mid-19th century, with the first documented use dating back to the 1800s. It quickly became a popular tool for demolition due to its effectiveness in bringing down structures.


A car travels 60 km in 45 minutes A second car travels 3 times the distance in four times the time What is the speed of the second car in meters per second?

The first car's speed is 80 km/h. The second car's distance is 180 km (3 times 60 km) and time is 180 minutes (4 times 45 minutes). Converting the second car's speed to m/s, we have 180 km/180 minutes = 1 km/min = 16.67 m/s.


How much is power output of a machine that lifts a 500kg object through a height of 20m in a time of 60s?

The work done by the machine would be the force required to lift the object multiplied by the distance it was lifted, which is 500kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 20m = 98100 J. The power output would then be work done divided by time taken, which is 98100 J / 60 s = 1635 W or 1.64 kW.


A certain car is capable of accelerating at a rate of plus 60 m per s2 How long does it take for this car to go from a speed of 55mi per hr to a speed of 60 mi per hr?

To convert speed from mph to m/s, you need to multiply by 0.447 . So, 55 mph is approximately 24.6 m/s and 60 mph is approximately 26.8 m/s. Given the acceleration of 60 m/s^2, you can calculate the time using the formula: time = (final speed - initial speed) / acceleration, which equals (26.8 - 24.6) / 60 seconds ≈ 0.036 seconds.


Which is travelling faster a cyclist who travels 400m in 20s or a skier who travels 1500m in 1 min?

Cycler's speed = 400/20 = 20 meters per second. Skier's speed = 1500/60 = 25 meters per second. The skier's average speed during his minute is 25% faster than the cyclist's average speed during his 20 seconds.
