<span>By adding "south", the speed had both magnitude AND direction, becoming a vector, not a scalar which generic "speed" is. So the second option can be eliminated. Let's analyze the other part(s). A velocity is a distance/time. Do we have that? Yes! -> miles/hour. So, velocity is an option that theoretically fits this question. Buttt... It gives us a time, and acceleration is a change in a velocity (speed, with a direction)/time. So because it says "after 10 minutes", we consider the big picture to be talking about the change in velocity during that time span, which is simplified as "the acceleration" over that time. :)</span>

It is an example of Acceleration.

There was change in velocity within the 10 minutes.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

If the Kelvin temperature of a gas is increased, the volume of the gas increases. This can be understood by imagining the particles of gas in the container moving with a greater energy when the temperature is increased.

Explanation:

If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure. Conversely if you cool the molecules down they will slow and the pressure will be decreased.

To calculate a change in pressure or temperature using Gay Lussac's Law.

The law of reflection establishes a definite relationship between the angle of incidence of a light ray striking the boundary be
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a ray of light hits the boundary between two media and it is reflected back into the first medium.

In such a situation, we call:

- angle of incidence: it is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the normal to the surface

- angle of reflection: it is the angle between the direction of the reflected ray and the normal to the surface

There is a precise relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. In fact, the Law of Reflection states that:

- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface all lie within the same plane

- The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

How do I find the speed of sound when given Frequency and displacement?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Taking into account sound is a wave, we can use the information of the displacement (generally given as a graph) to find the wavelength and frequency, then we can calculate the speed with the formula of the speed of a wave.

Explanation:

If we have the displacement graph of the sound wave, we can find its amplitude, its wavelength and period (which is the inverse of frequency).

Now, if we additionally have the frequency as data, we can use the equation of the speed of a wave:

s=\lambda f

Where:

s is the speed of the sound wave

\lambda is the wavelength

f is the frequency
