Explanation:

Let's say your mass is M, the ball's mass is m, and the ball's speed is v.  Let's say your final speed is V.

Momentum is conserved.  If you catch the ball, your speed is:

mv = (m + M)V

V = mv / (m + M)

If you deflect the ball, your speed is:

mv = MV + m(-v)

V = 2mv / M

To compare these, we need the common denominator.

If you catch the ball:

V = mMv / (M (m + M))

If you throw the ball:

V = 2m(m + M)v / (M (m + M))

Comparing the numerators, we can see M < 2(m + M), so catching the ball results in a lower speed.

The graph below shows the position of an ant as it crawls over a flat picnic blanket. The total time for the ant to go from the
Mice21 [21]

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

The correct answer is option D.

In the given graph, we can deduce the following;

  • the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s

The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time }

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;

  • first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm
  • first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm
  • second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm
  • second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm
  • third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm
  • fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm
  • final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm

The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } = \frac{29 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.276 \ cm/s

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.

The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.

  • This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P
  • From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm
  • Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm

Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of  line P.

                                                ↓end

                                                ↓

                                                ↓ 6cm

                                                ↓

  start -------------13 cm------------

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

P^2 = 6^2 + 13^2\\\\P^2 = 36 + 169\\\\P^2 = 205\\\\P= \sqrt{205} \\\\P = 14.318 \ cm

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

average \ velocity= \frac{\Delta displacemnt  }{total\ time }= \frac{14.318 \ cm}{105 \  s} = 0.136 \ cm/s  \\\\

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

A snail moves 18 millimeters every 24 seconds what is the snails rate of speed
Nataly_w [17]

The speed of the snail is given by:

v=\frac{S}{t}

where S is the distance covered by the snail and t the time taken.


The snail in the problem moves by S=18 mm in t=24 s, therefore its speed is

v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{18 mm}{24 s}=0.75 mm/s
