Answer:

Explanation:

True

Average speed is the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken and average velocity is total displacement to the total time.

And we know distance is either equal to or greater than displacement so we can say that for equal time interval magnitude of average velocity can never be greater than average speed.

An automobile travels on a straight road for 40 km at 30 km/h. It then continues in the same direction for another 40 km at 60 k
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The average velocity is 40km/h.

Explanation:

The average velocity is \bar{v}=\frac{\Delta x }{\Delta t}, where \Delta x is the distance traveled and \Delta t the time elapsed.

The distance traveled is clearly 80km since it's all done in the same direction, we only need to know the time elapsed. For this we calculate the time elapsed on the first part, and add it to the time elapsed on the second part using always the formula \Delta t=\frac{\Delta x }{v}, where v is the velocity on each part, which is constant.

The time elapsed for the first part is \Delta t_1=\frac{40 km}{30km/h}=\frac{4}{3}h, and the time elapsed for the second part is \Delta t_2=\frac{40 km}{60km/h}=\frac{2}{3}h, giving us a total time of \Delta t_1+\Delta t_2=\frac{4}{3}h+\frac{2}{3}h=2h.

Finally, we can calculate the average velocity: \bar{v}=\frac{80km}{2h}=40km/h.

A new planet is discovered that has twice the Earth's mass and twice the Earth's radius. On the surface of this new planet a per
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

Radius of new planet,R' = 2R

Mass of the earth, M' = 2 M

R and M is the Radius and Mass of the earth.

Weight of the person on earth = 500 N

Weight of the person in the new planet = ?

We know acceleration due to gravity is calculated by using formula

   g = \dfrac{GM}{R^2}

now, acceleration due to gravity on the new planet

   g' = \dfrac{GM'}{R'^2}

   g' = \dfrac{G(2M)}{(2R)^2}

   g' =\dfrac{1}{2} \dfrac{GM}{R^2}

   g' =\dfrac{g}{2}

here acceleration due to gravity is half in new planet, so weight will also be half on the new planet.

Weight on the new plane is equal to \dfrac{500}{2} = 250 N

correct answer is option B

True or False: Friction makes energy vanish. Explain your answer!
Sidana [21]
False because friction will generate heat energy and/or sound energy etc. Think of a car stopping or a broom sweeping the ground.
