Answer:
I. Speed = 20m/s
II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Distance = 40m
Time = 2secs
To find the speed;
Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

<em>Speed = 20m/s.</em>
In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

<em>Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North</em>.
These days, scientists all over the world use a standard system of measurements. It's the SI or metric system.
What about scientists in the United States, Liberia, and Burma ?
These three countries are the only ones in the world that haven't
adopted the metric system. What do THEY do ?
Easy. When scientists in those countries are off work, they use the
inches, yards, feet, quarts, miles and gallons that everybody around
them is using. But when they go to work, they use the same metric
system that everyone else in the world is using.
Answer:
53.895 m.
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion,
v² = u² + 2as .............. Equation 1
Where v = final velocity of the swan, u = initial velocity of the swan, a = acceleration of the swan, s = distance covered by the swan.
make s the subject of the equation,
s = (v² - u²)/2a----------- Equation 2
Given: v = 6.4 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest) a = 0.380 m/s².
Substitute into equation 2
s = (6.4²-0²)/(2×0.380)
s = 40.96/0.76
s = 53.895 m.
Hence the swan will travel 53.895 m before becoming airborne.
Answer:
c) The distance between the balls increases.
Explanation:
If you drop the balls at the same time, regardless of their masses they accelerate equally, since they will be in free fall.
However, if you drop one of the balls earlier, then that ball will gain velocity, whereas the second ball has zero initial velocity. At the time the second ball is dropped, both balls have the same acceleration but different initial velocities.
According to the below kinematics equation:

The initial velocity of the first ball will make the difference, and the first ball will travel a greater distance than the second ball. Hence, their distance increases.
