Answer:
It takes millions sometimes hundreds of millions Explanation:
(a) The average speed from A to B would be 1.76 metre per second and the average velocity from A to B would also be 1.76 metre per second
<span>(b) The average speed from A to C would be 1.73 metre per second and the average velocity from A to C would be 0.87 metre per second</span>
The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).
