Taking into account the definition of velocity, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

<h3>Definition of velocity</h3>

Velocity is a physical magnitude that relates the displacement of an object, the time it takes to make this change in position and direction. So it is considered a vector magnitude.

In other words, the velocity can be defined as the amount of space traveled per unit of time with which a body moves, considering the direction, and can be calculated using the expression:

velocity= distance traveled÷ time

<h3>Average velocity of Clara</h3>

Clara rushes 30 m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s. Then, you know:

distance traveled= 30m rushing + 30m walking back= 60 m
time= 120 s

Replacing in the definition of velocity:

velocity= 60 m÷ 120 s

Solving:

<u><em>velocity= 0.5 m/s</em></u>

Finally, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

How can groundwater flow, elevation can transport contaminates

Pavel [41]

Answer: it's under explanation

Explanation:Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human use. Materials from the land's surface can move through the soil and end up in the groundwater.

A proton travels with a speed of 5.02×10⁶ m/s in a direction that makes an angle of 60.0° with the direction of a magnetic ficld

Triss [41]

The magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is 1.25× 10—¹³ N.

Speed of the proton = 5.02 × 10 ⁶ m /a

Angel of between the velocity and the magnetic force = 60 °

The magnitude of magnetic field B = 0.180 T

The magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is,

$F = q(v \times B)$

$F = qvB \: sin \: θ$

$F = 1.6 \times 10 ^{ - 19} \times 5.02 \times 10 ^{6} \times 0.180 \times \: sin \: 60°$

$= 1.25 \times 10 ^{ - 13} \: N$

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is 1.25× 10—¹³ N.

How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity

alexira [117]

Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.
