A person walking covers 5 m ikn 10 s how fast is the person moving

Physics
1 answer:
aniked [119]3 years ago
5 0

Not what I'd call 'fast' at all.

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Speed = (5 meters) / (10 seconds)

<em>Speed = 0.5 meter per second</em> .

That's like about 1.1 mile per hour .

Normal walking speed is considered to be around 1.4 m/s ... about 3.1 mph, or 14 meters in 10 seconds.

I've got a grandson who hasn't even turned 1 yet.  He crawls and  doesn't walk, but if you only cover 5m in 10s, he'd leave you in the dust pretty quick.

A dump truck and a little toy matchbox car have the same velocity. which one has the greater momentum?
Zina [86]
That would be the dump truck. Momentum depends on how heavy a certain object is in motion. The more weight it has the harder it is to stop.

During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variates with the distance:

F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}} (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).

               

However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.

           

Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.
