1) Average speed

2) Displacement

Explanation:

1)

Speed is a scalar quantity which gives a measure of how fast a body is moving. It is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled by an object and the time taken to cover that distance:

speed = \frac{d}{\Delta t}

where

d is the distance covered

\Delta t is the time taken

It is important to note that being a scalar, speed does not have any direction. Moreover, distance is also a scalar quantity, which corresponds to the total length of the path covered by the object, regardless on the direction taken.

So, the equation "travelled distance/elapsed time" corresponds to the average speed. (where the term average refers to the fact we are not measuring the speed at a specific instant in time, but on a certain time interval \Delta t.

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

velocity=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta x is the change in position (or displacement) of the object

\Delta t is the time taken

And the direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

We must note that while distance does not depend on the direction, displacement does. In fact, displacement measures the difference between the initial and final position of the object.

Therefore, the equation "change in position / elapsed time" is equal to the average velocity.

The sun is the center of the solar system which is surrounded by the nine planets and they tend to orbit the sun in concentric circles with the sun as the center.

<h3>What is the solar system?</h3>

The term solar system has to do with the arrangement of the sun and the planets. The sun lies at the focus of the solar system. Now we know that there are nine planets that orbit around the sun. The distance between the planets and the sun depends on their relative proximity to each other.

Thus, the sun is the center of the solar system which is surrounded by the nine planets and they tend to orbit the sun in concentric circles with the sun as the center.

57. Example of the law of force and acceleration
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass (object). Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass. Your leg muscles pushing pushing on the pedals of your bicycle is the force.

When a object is at rest, what is it’s speed??
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0   (there is no speed)

Explanation:

If an object is at rest, it is not moving, and it doesn't have a speed, so the speed is zero.
