Average speed  =  (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Runner's average speed = (length of 1 lap) / (her time to run 1 lap).

________________________________

Average velocity =

           (straight-line distance between start-point and end-point)
divided by
           (time to go from start-point to end-point).

The runner's start-point and end-point are the same place.
The distance between them (her 'displacement') is zero. 
Her average velocity = zero .

A person slaps her leg with her hand, which results in her hand coming to rest in a time interval of 2.65 ms from an initial spe
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is  3466.98 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Initial velocity of hand v₀ = 5.25 m/s

final velocity of hand v = 0 m/s

time interval t = 2.65 ms = 0.00265 s

mass of hand m = 1.75 kg

We calculate force on the hand F_{hand

using equation for impulse in momentum

F_{hand × t = m( v - v₀ )

we substitute

F_{hand × 0.00265  = 1.75( 0 - 5.25 )

F_{hand × 0.00265  = 1.75( - 5.25 )

F_{hand × 0.00265  = -9.1875

F_{hand = -9.1875 / 0.00265  

F_{hand = -3466.98 N

Next we determine force on the leg F_{leg

Using Newton's third law of motion

for every action, there is an equal opposite reaction;

so, F_{leg = - F_{hand

we substitute

F_{leg = - ( -3466.98 N )

F_{leg = 3466.98 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is  3466.98 N

An electric power plant uses energy from burning coal to generate steam at 450∘C. The plant is cooled by 20∘C water from a nearb
Goryan [66]

Answer:

40 MJ (D)

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Qh) = 100 MJ

temperature of steam (Th) = 450°c = 450 + 273 = 723 K

emperature of water (TI) = 20 °c = 20 + 273 = 293 k

efficiency = (Qh-Qi)/Qh = (Th-Ti)/Th

 \frac{100x10x^{6}-Qi }{100x10^{6}} = \frac{723-293}{723}

100x10^{6} - Qi= 0.5947 x 100 x 10 ^{6}

100x10^{6} - (0.5947 x 100x10^{6}) = Qi

Qi = 40.5 MJ equivalent to 40 MJ (D)
