Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves direction.

Answer: Direction

Explanation

Average speed involves taking only the magnitude in the calculation of the distance traveled and the time required whereas Average velocity takes both magnitude and direction in the calculation by taking the displacement occurred with total time.

Therefore, average speed, scalar quantity and average velocity, a vector quantity.

Scalar quantities are physical quantities considering magnitude whereas vector quantities are physical quantities considering magnitude and direction.

Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)

Answer:

v = 8.8 m /s

Explanation:

For listener and source going away from each other the formula of Doppler effect is as follows

$\frac{f}{f_0} = \frac{V-v}{V+v}$

V is velocity of sound , v is velocity of listner and source of sound

f₀ is apparent frequency and f is real frequency

V = 343 , v = ? ,f = 210 , f₀ = 221

Put these value in the relation above

$[tex]\frac{210}{221} = \frac{343-v}{343+v}$ [/tex]

v = 8.8 m /s

which of the numbers on this figure indicates typical continental conditions (regional metamorphism)?

Tpy6a [65]

The number that indicates typical continental conditions (regional metamorphism) is that showing schist and gneiss rocks.

<h3>What is regional metamorphism?</h3>

Regional metamorphism occurs when rocks undergoes changes as a result of high temperatures and pressure deep within the earth's crust.

Regional metamorphic rocks are usually foliated or squashed in appearance.

Examples of regional metamorphism rocks are schist and gneiss rocks.

Therefore, the figure that indicates typical continental conditions (regional metamorphism) is that showing schist and gneiss rocks.

A plane drops a rubber raft to the survivors of a shipwreck. The plane is flying at a height of 1960 m and with a speed of 109 m

Korolek [52]

In this case the rubber raft has horizontal and vertical motion.

Considering vertical motion first.

We have displacement $s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2$ , u = Initial velocity, t = time taken, a = acceleration.

In vertical motion

s = 1960 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 $m/s^2$

$1960 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.81*t^2\\ \\ t = 20 seconds$

So raft will take 20 seconds to reach ground.

Now considering horizontal motion of raft

u = 109 m/s, t = 20 s, a = 0 $m/s^2$

So $s = 109*20+\frac{1}{2} *0*20^2 = 2180 m$

So shipwreck was 2180 meter far away from the plane when the raft was dropped.

A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, "500" m above the ground. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) Find the dis

Yuri [45]

Answer:

h₍₁₎ = 495,1 meters

h₍₂₎ = 480,4 m

h₍₃₎ = 455,9 m

...

Explanation:

The exercise is "free fall". t = $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$

Solving with this formula you find the time it takes for the stone to reach the ground (T) = 102,04 s

The heights (h) according to his time (t) are found according to the formula:

h(t) = 500 - 1/2 * g * t²

Remplacing "t" with the desired time.
