Answer:

4 m/s.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance travalled (d) = 20 m

Time (t) = 5 secs

Speed (S) =?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance moved with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed (S) = Distance (d) /time (t)

S = d/t

With the above formula, we can easily calculate the speed of the individual as follow:

Distance travalled (d) = 20 m

Time (t) = 5 secs

Speed (S) =?

S = d/t

S = 20/5

S = 4 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the individual is 4 m/s

Explain melting and freezing using the kinetic theory of matter​

As a liquid is cooled its molecules lose kinetic energy and their motion slows. When they've slowed to where intermolecular attractive forces exceed the collisional forces from random motion, then a phase transition from liquid to solid state takes place and the material freezes

How can you increase the potential energy of a bouncing ball
ad-work [718]

Answer:

When you lift the ball, you are doing work to increase its gravitational potential energy. When you then release the ball, gravitational energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the ball falls. When the ball hits the floor, the ball's shape changes as it flattens against the floor.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:  The minimum time between pulses (in fresh water)

= 0.3106 s

Explanation:

To calculate the speed of echoes sounds, we will use

Speed = 2x/t

Where x = distance and t = total time.

Please note that:

sound travels at 343 m/s in air. But it travels at 1,481 m/s in water (almost 4.3 times as fast as in air); 

Total distance = 2 × 230 = 460m

Using speed of sound in water

1481 = 460/t

t = 460/1481

t = 0.3106
