The answer is statement 2 which states that only the average velocity must be same but not necessarily the instantaneous velocity.

  • The given situation is that two sprinters start the race on a straight track, in which they cross the finish line at the same time.
  • So, they covered the same amount of distance at the same amount of time. This means that both their average velocity is equal, since it is independent of instantaneous velocity.
  • One  sprinter might start the race faster and finish at a slower speed whereas the other sprinter might start the race slower and finish the race at a faster speed. In this situation the final velocities are not equal.

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific time whereas average velocity is the average velocity of an object throughout the time.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Two sprinters start a race along a straight track at the same time and cross the finish line at the same time.

Are their final velocities necessarily equal? Explain.

1 ) Yes, the final velocity is the instantaneous velocity at the moment a sprinter crosses the finish line, which will be the same between two sprinters. The instantaneous velocities for the entire race must be the same.

2) No, the final velocity is just the instantaneous velocity at the moment a sprinter crosses the finish line, which can vary between two sprinters. Only the average velocity for the entire race must be the same.

Therefore, the correct answer is statement 2.

Alex is standing still and throws a football with a speed of 10 m/s to his friend, who is also standing still. The two friends a
Phantasy [73]

The question is incomplete. It comes with a set of answer choices.


These are the answer choices:


Alex observes it as 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as less than 10 m/s.


Alex observes it as less than 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as 10 m/s.


Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.


Both Alex and his friend observe it as less than 10 m/s.



Answer: Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.


Justification:


1) The speed is relative to the frame of reference.


2) It is said that the both Alex and his friend are standing still.


3) Then, the speed they both see is the same, 10 m/s, respect the Earth (where they are standing still).


Of course, Alex is watching the ball moving away and his friend is seing it approaching, but it is not relevant for the question, as it deals with the speed which is only about magnitude, not direction.

If the v – t graph of a particle is parallel to the t – axis the body has (a) uniform velocity (b) uniform acceleration (c) zero
maxonik [38]

Answer:

zero  velocity

Explanation:

if the v-t graph is parallel to the time axis its mean body has covered no path in other words the body is at rest so the velocity of the body should be zero

In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy
Jobisdone [24]

Explanation:

The energy stored in coal is directly form the sun which is solar energy. This energy are preserved in carbon atoms and they originate from the life processes of a plant.

  • Plants carry out photosynthesis and produce their energy by this process.
  • Green plants have special adapted structures by which they trap solar energy from the sun and use it to produce their own food.
  • The food is used by plant for nutrition and life activities.
  • In essence the solar energy is converted to chemical energy in plants.
  • To form coal, when plants are rapidly buried their organic matter is preserved from decay by combination with oxygen.
  • More burial preserves the complex molecules that have stored during photosynthesis.
  • The carbon eventually aggregates for coal.
