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.

How to measure the speed of sound in air?
Leona [35]

STEP ONE:


Let  you and your friend stand as far away as possible from a large reflecting wall and clap your hands rapidly at a regular rate.  


STEP TWO:


Adjust this rate until each clap just coincides with the return of an echo of its predecessor, or until clap and echo are heard as equally spaced.


STEP THREE:


Use a stopwatch to find the time between claps, t. Make a rough measurement of distance to the wall, s. Thus the speed of sound, v = 2s/t

kirza4 [7]

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both  spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?

What is one way you are using nonrenewable resources?
lutik1710 [3]

Putting gas in your car is one way you are using non-renewable resources.

You could Reduce, Recycle and Re-use items. You could manage what you do with you're water. Reducing and reusing products cuts down on manufacturing pollution, just as the use of recycled instead of virgin materials prevents pollution in industrial processes. You could add food coloring to your toilet tank. You could also do this: use sprinkler heads that sprinkle mist out instead of droplets of water.  to avoid losing water to evaporation.
