Answer:

Exp35 km/h , 25 km/hlanation:

Let the speed of one cyclist is v and the speed of another cyclist is v - 10.

Distance traveled by the first cyclist in 2 hours = v x 2

Distance traveled by the second cyclist in 2 hours = (v - 10) x 2

They meet after 2 hours.

So the distance traveled by the first and the second cyclist is equal to 120 km.

2 v + 2 (v -10) = 120

2v + 2v - 20 = 120

4v = 140

v = 35 km/h

The speed of first cyclist is 35 km/h and the speed of another cyclist is 35 - 10 = 25 km/h.

Answer:

35 km/hr and 25 km/hr

Explanation:

Total distance is D.

Let speed of one cyclist be X km/hr.

Speed of second cyclist = ( X-10) km/hr

Now,

                        Distance = Speed * Time

Total distance D = Distance covered by slower cyclist + Distance covered by                                     faster cyclist.

                       D =  2* X + 2(X-10)

                       120 =  2X + 2X -20

                       120 = 4X - 20

                       140 = 4X

                         X = 35 km/hr

Therefore, Speed of faster cyclist = 35 km/hr

                  Speed of slower cyclist = 35-10

                                                          = 25km/hr

True or False: The average speed of an object is always equal to the magnitude of the average velocity of the object. If False,
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance to the total time taken. It is a scalar quantity.

Average velocity is defined as the total displacement to the total time taken. It is a vector quantity.

They both are equal, if the motion is straight line.

So, every time it is not true.

A particular spectral line from an observed object is measured to be at a wavelength of 400 nm. that same spectral line is found
Butoxors [25]
To find the radial velocity of the object we are going to apply the regular Doppler formula:
 [measured wavelenght - rest wavelenght/ rest wavelenght] = V/C, where V is the radial velocity and C is the speed of light which is equal to 300,000km/sec.
[400 - 800/800] = V/300,000 = - 150,000.
This means that the object is moving at a velocity of 150,000km/sec toward the observer.
The minus sign infront of the answer indicates that the object is moving towards the observer while a positive value will indicate that the object is moving away from the observer.
