Average velocity =

    (distance between start-point and end-point) / (time from start to end)
in the direction of
    (direction from the start-point to the end-point) .

a).  The average velocity for the first half is

                             (50m)/(20sec) = 2.5 m/s south.

b).  The average velocity for the second half is 

                            (50m)/(22sec) = 2.273 m/s north

c).  Average velocity for the round trip is zero, because
the start-point and end-point are the same point.

However ...

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

Average SPEED for the round trip is 

                 (100 m) / (42 sec) = 2.381 m/s  (rounded)

A balloon full of air has more _____ than the same balloon with no air in it. A. mass (only) B. inertia (only) C. weight (only)
valina [46]

Answer:

A. Mass(only)

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because if the balloon is filled with air, it's filled with matter. Matter is anything that has space and occupies mass. The air occupies mass in the balloon but that doesn't mean that the balloon is heavier. People confuse themselves with mass and weight saying it means the same thing. Mass, like I said is the amount of matter an object contains whereas weight is how much an object weighs.

A bowling ball of mass m = 1.7 kg drops from a height h = 14.2 m. A semi-circular tube of radius r = 6.2 m rest centered on a sc
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

W_net = mg + 2mgh/r

Explanation:

The forces applied in this motion of the bowling ball are both gravitational and centripetal forces.

Now, gravitational force is; F_g = mg

While centripetal force is; F_c = mv²/r

Since we want to express the net force in terms of the variables in the statement and we are not given "v", let's find an expression of v with the variables given.

Now, from Newton's equation of motion, at initial velocity of 0, v² = 2gh.

Thus;

F_c = 2mgh/r

Where;

m is ball mass

r is tube radius

h is fall height

Thus, the net force will be;

F_net = F_g + F_c

Now, Net force would be equal to the net weight that will be read on the scale.

Thus;

W_net = F_net = F_g + F_c

W_net = mg + 2mgh/r
