Instantaneous speed is measured

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C. At a particular instant

Explanation:

Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the distance and t the time.

However, there are two possible measurements of speed:

- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is

$v=\frac{100 m}{5 s}=20 m/s$

- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.

Ted Clubber Lang. A hook in boxing primarily involves horizontal flexion of the shoulder while maintaining a constant angle at t

il63 [147K]

Answer:

15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of the shoulder, v(h) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Distance moved during the hook, d(h) = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Distance moved by the fist, d(f) = 100 cm = 1 m

Average speed of the fist during the hook, v(f) = ? cm/s = m/s

This can be solved by a very simple relation.

d(f) / d(h) = v(f) / v(h)

v(f) = [d(f) * v(h)] / d(h)

v(f) = (1 * 0.75) / 0.05

v(f) = 0.75 / 0.05

v(f) = 15 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the fist during the hook is 15 m/s or 1500 cm/s
