Answer:

it is the instantaneous speed of the bike rider.

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind the difference between speed and velocity:

- speed is a scalar, and it is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

- velocity is a vector, which consists of a magnitude (the speed) and a direction as well.

The term 'instantaneous' means that the speed (or velocity) is measured at one precise instant of time, while the term 'average' means it is measured over a longer time period.

Based on all these definitions above, we can conclude that the correct answer is

it is the instantaneous speed of the bike rider.

Because in this problem, only the speed is given (no direction), so this is not a velocity, and also it is measured at one precise instant of time, so it is an instantaneous speed.

State two places where thermal conduction takes place.
Crank

Answer:

two places where thermal conduction takes place are gases and liquids, conduction is due to collisions of molecules during their random motion. Hence, the correct option is (C). Note: Though, the particle distances between gases are much more in comparison to solids and liquids, conduction slowly occurs in gases also

OleMash [197]

Answer:

My scenario would be A Car vs. a guard rail on a road.  You have a car that is coming down a Highway at a speed of 43 Mph Miles per hour (69.2018 Kmh)

And it hits a steel guardrail and the car smashes in at the front and the guardrail is only bent while the car has the bumper and the hood along with the headlights and windshield along with the passenger side window break.

Explanation:

This is caused by so much force reacting from one object to another but also depends on molecular density.
