Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

The speed of a car is defined as the ratio of the distance traveled by the car to the time taken by the car.

speed = distance / time

The average speed of the car is defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by the car to the total time taken by the car.

Average speed = total distance traveled / total time taken

Instantaneous speed is defined as the speed of the car at any instant.

Answer: Instantaneous speed is measured at each particular instant, and average speed is the sum of the instantaneous speeds.

the two forces acting on a falling object are gravity and?....1.force, 2. friction, 3. air resistance, and 4. net force?

Vsevolod [243]

In free fall, the only force acting on an object is gravity. The force of gravity is an unbalanced force, which causes an object to accelerate. In the absence of air, two objects with different masses fall at exactly the same rate of acceleration.

An atom of uranium 238 emits an alpha particle (an atom of He) and recoils with a velocity of 1.895 * 10^ 5 m/sec . With velocit

lora16 [44]

<u>Answer:</u> The velocity of released alpha particle is $1.127\times 10^7m/s$

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation of momentum, momentum can neither be created nor be destroyed until and unless, an external force is applied.

For a system:

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

where,

$m_1\text{ and }v_1$ = Initial mass and velocity

$m_2\text{ and }v_2$ = Final mass and velocity

We are given:

$m_1=238u\\v_1=1.895\times 10^{5}m/s\\m_2=4u\text{ (Mass of }\alpha \text{ -particle)}\\v_2=?m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$238\times 1.895\times 10^5=4\times v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{238\times 1.895\times 10^5}{4}=1.127\times 10^7m/s$

Hence, the velocity of released alpha particle is $1.127\times 10^7m/s$
