A car moved 60 meters west in 2 hours. What is its average velocity?

1 answer:

5 0

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.

v=Δx/t

$v=\frac{xf-xi}{t}= \frac{60m}{2}=30m$

Final answer is 30.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

If all of the forces acting on an object are balanced, then:

kondaur [170]

A. the direction the object is moving in will not change.

B. the acceleration of the object will be 0 m/s2

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by using Newton's second law of motion:

$\sum F = ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, all the forces acting on the object are balanced, therefore the net force is zero:

$\sum F=0$

which means that also the acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

Acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity: therefore, zero acceleration means that the velocity of the object does not change. We can now analyze the given statements:

A. the direction the object is moving in will not change. --> TRUE, because the velocity is not changing.

B. the acceleration of the object will be 0 m/s2 --> TRUE, as we stated above

c. the object will not be in motion. --> FALSE: we just know that its velocity is constant, but it can be different from zero

D. the velocity of the object will be 0 m/s. --> FALSE, for the same reason stated in C

If jack was traveling at 100 miles in 2 hours what was his velocity in miles per second

arsen [322]

1 hour is 3600 seconds. In 2 hours, it would be 7200 seconds. Divide the amount of miles by seconds. 100/7200=.01388..

A coffee filter of mass 1.2 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic ener

iren [92.7K]

Answer: The energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Here, the potential energy of the coffee filter is getting converted into kinetic energy of the coffee filter and some energy is lost by it which is gained by the air molecules in the form of kinetic energy.

So, calculating the potential energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

P = mgh

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = $1.2\times 10^{-3}kg$ (Conversion used: 1 kg = 1000 g)
