A student stays at her initial position for a bit of time, then walks slowly in a straight line for a while, then stops to rest

a while, and finally runs quickly back to her initial position along a straight line. Which of the following statements is true about the average speed and the magnitude of the average velocity of the student during her trip? Her average speed is greater than the magnitude of her average velocity. Her average speed is the same as the magnitude of her average velocity. Her average speed is less than the magnitude of her average velocity. The student's average speed and velocity cannot be compared without knowing the farthest point she reached.

Answer:Average speed is greater than average velocity.

Explanation  :

Given

student walks slowly along a straight line for a while ,then stops to rest a while, and finally runs quickly back to her initial position

Let x be the length of track and the whole process takes t time

For average speed =\frac{distance\ traveled}{time\ taken}

Average speed=\frac{2x}{t}

For average velocity =\frac{Displacement}{time\ taken}

Since displacement is zero as she returns to its initial position.

Average velocity=0

Therefore Average speed is greater than average velocity.

A book weighing 5 N rests on top of a table. 1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of of gravity

2) An upward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the table

Explanation:

First of all, any object near the Earth's surface experiences the forces of gravity, which is also called weight of the object. This force always acts downward.

For the book in the problem, the magnitude of the weight is 5 N.

We also know that the book is at rest: this means that the net force acting on it is zero, and there must be another force balancing the weight, in order to give a zero net force. This other force is the reaction force exerted by the table on the book: the magnitude of this force must be equal to the force of gravity (so, 5 N) and its direction is opposite to the weight, therefore upward.

HELP ASAP <br> Describe when contact metamorphism occurs?
diamong [38]

Contact metamorphism occurs adjacent to igneous intrusions and results from high temperatures associated with the igneous intrusion. Since only a small area surrounding the intrusion is heated by the magma, metamorphism is restricted to the zone surrounding the intrusion, called a metamorphic or contact aureole

Why do we see the color black?
Inessa [10]
We see black colour in absence of light. Black colour absoorbs all the light, ( just opposite of white) and hence we do not see any colour. Black colour is also related to darkness.

Based on relative bond strengths, classify these reactions as endothermic (energy absorbed) or exothermic (energy released)
cluponka [151]
<span>Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy. This reaction releases heat energy or light . In an endotermic reaction energy is used. Enthaply is the heat energy change , delta H. If the sum of the enthalpies of the reactans is greater than the products the reaction is exothermic. If the products side has a larger enthaply than the process is endothermic. So, if delta H is negative then the process is exothermic. If delta H is positive, than the process is endothermic. Exothermic are: A+BC -> AB+C A2+B2 -> 2AB Endothermic are:AB+C -> AC+B A2 + C2 -> 2AC B2+C2 -> 2BC</span>
