Average speed is useful but it might not describe your actual speed

Physics
1 answer:
gregori [183]3 years ago
6 0
Average speed is useful in describing the motion of a body, but it does not tell everything about the motion. For instance, a car traveling at an average speed of 100 kilometers per hour during a certain hour could conceivably have traveled at 150 km/h for 40 minutes, Energy, Ch. 3, extension 1 Calculating average speed and velocity 3 then halted for the last 20 minutes as a patrolman gave the driver a ticket (picture above). Its average speed really does not describe that hour’s journey very well. The way to deal with such a situation is to take the average over a shorter interval, and do this more times. In the example given above, if the speed were sampled every 15 minutes instead of over the entire hour, we would list average speeds of 150 km/h at the start (0 to 15 minutes), 150 km/h (15 to 30 minutes), 100 km/h (30 to 45 minutes), and 0 km/h (45 to 60 minutes).

A 70 kg student stands on top of a 5.0 m platform diving board . how much gravitational potential energy does the student have?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a. P.E = 3430Joules.

b. Workdone = 3430Nm

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 70kg

Distance = 5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find the potential energy;

Potential energy = mgh

P.E = 70*9.8*5

<em>P.E = 3430J</em>

b. To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration

Force = 70*9.8

Force = 686 Newton.

Workdone = 686 * 5

<em>Workdone = 3430Nm</em>

What is the unique geological feature found on Mercury surface?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The surface of Mercury has landforms that indicate its crust may have contracted. They are long, sinuous cliffs called lobate scarps. These scarps appear to be the surface expression of thrust faults, where the crust is broken along an inclined plane and pushed upward.

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little bit.

Are rocks made of matter?​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Yes, the rocks are made of matter

Explanation:

Let's remember the definition of matter.

Matter is all that has mass and occupies a place in space. Therefore, if we measure the mass of each rock we will know its mass, the other fact is that rocks like any particular body are occupying a place in an empty space.

The opposite of this is antimatter and can its extent be given by the quantum mechanics.
