Answer:

12 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is distance moved per unit time and expressed as

S=d/t

S is speed, d is distance and t is time.

When at rest for five minutes, distance moved is zero hence speed is 0/5=0 m/s

When having moved 120 m for 5 s then speed is

S=120/5=24 m/s

Average speed is the average of these two speeda

Average speed=(24+0)÷2=24/2=12 m/s

Therefore, average speed is 12 m/s

Art [367]
The answer is :  We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.  This is    because light can travel through vacuum but sound cannot.  Sound waves are vibrations of particles in any media, so sound requires a medium to travel, and it cannot travel in a vacuum as there is no particles to vibrate.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

direction does the axis of rotation tilt toward after the blow is the z- direction

Explanation:

This is because

Due to the blow, there is a impulse imparted on the ball which gives a change in linear momentum () in the x direction

Thus When cross product of momentum in x direction is taking with r vector, we will get resultant in z direction. Hence change in angular momentum will be z direction.
