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

Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.

That's the slope of the dotted line.

Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .

That's the slope of the solid line.

Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".

We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".

Answer:

Backwash effect

Explanation:

Your friend moved along the shore due to ; The swash effect and the Backwash effect

Swash effect is caused by the upsurge of water up along the slopping front of the beach and this same upsurge in water moves back into the beach in what is known as the backwash effect hence the movement of your friend form where they were in the surf zone to another position still within the surface zone is caused by the BACKWASH EFFECT

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$
