Short homework check (average speed)

AI Thread Summary
The homework involves calculating the time per mode of transport and total time to reach a final destination, with a focus on average fuel consumption for different vehicles. The student provided a table with calculations for fuel usage based on specific distances and fuel efficiency rates: a truck at 30L/100km, a train at 1.2L/100km, and an airplane at 3.5L/100km. The calculations for fuel consumption were shared, showing specific routes and total fuel required. The student confirmed they did not convert hours into minutes as per their teacher's advice. The submission is nearing its deadline, prompting a request for verification of the calculations.

Homework Statement


Hey guys, I just want you to check out my homework before I send it off!
First of all, I attached a table in which I was required to come up with “Time per mode of transport” and “Total time to reach final destination” I included my answers right on the table in the corresponding columns, so have a look at that. Using the table I was also asked to calculate the average fuel consumption for each route considering that a truck uses 30L of fuel per 100km, a train 1.2L/100km and an airplane 3.5L/100km. I will provide the answers for that in “the attempt at solution”

Homework Equations


Total time = total distance/ speed
Simple addition/ division and multiplication

The Attempt at a Solution


16. Holland Marsh to Barrie = 30L/100km*31km=9.3L
Thorold to Toronto = 1.2L/100km*63km + Toronto to Barrie = 30L/100Km*81km = 25L
Solano to Toronto = 3.5L/100km*2279km + Toronto to Barrie = 30L/100km*81km = 104L

Also i did not convert hours into minutes, as i finally was able to contact my teacher who said to leave it in hours!

A little bump, just want to know if this is correct!
 
Now this is coming close to its due date, please check! :)
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
