Maye is running an experiment to determine if a car with large tires will move faster than a car with small tires. her ramp is 0.7 m long she recording the following times on each of her trials: trial 1: 2.5 seconds, trial 2: 2.75 seconds, trial 3: 2.98 seconds. what was the average speed of her car?

0.256 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is distance over time.

Find the speed of each trial and then find the average.

Trial 1: v = 0.7 m / 2.5 s = 0.280 m/s

Trial 2: v = 0.7 m / 2.75 s = 0.255 m/s

Trial 3: v = 0.7 m / 2.98 s = 0.235 m/s

v_avg = (0.280 m/s + 0.255 m/s + 0.235 m/s) / 3

v_avg = 0.256 m/s

Round as needed.

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
