If you get a ticket for speeding, it is based on your average speed or instantaneous speed? Explain

Physics
1 answer:
bagirrra123 [75]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Instantaneous speed

Explanation:

Usually the speed measuring guns are used to measure the speed at a certain instant, so the measured speed is instantaneous.

The average speed is determined by the expression final distance minus initial distance divided by time

v_{aver} =\frac{x_{f}- x_{i}}{t}

The instantaneous speed is determined in the same way as the average, but with the exception that the travel displacements are shorter (very close one each other).

If the humidity is 100% then it will not evaporate because 100% humidity means that the air is saturated with water vapour.

A displacement vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north. What are the components of this vector? Northward
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A)  29.4 m 17.0 m; B) 2 m

Explanation:

If a vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north (which means 30.0° over the horizontal), then its coordinates will be:

Horizontal: (34.0 m)cos(30.0°)=29.4 m

Vertical: (34.0 m)sin(30.0°)=17 m

If one person walks 8.0 meters in a straight line and then walks 5.0 meters in another straight line, then the minimum displacement would be to go back over his tracks, displacing himself 8m-5m=3m, while the maximum displacement would be going straight ahead, displacing himself 8m+5m=13m. Any answer outside this interval is impossible (2m).

Predict what the MASS would be of something exerting a force of 45N on a spring scale. EXPLAIN how you got
a_sh-v [17]
The mutual forces of gravity between the Earth and an object on or near
its surface are (<em>mass of the object</em>) x (<em>acceleration of gravity on Earth</em>). 
These two forces are equal, and we call their strength the "weight" of
the object.  It's the number shown on the scale as long as nobody has
their thumb on the scale.  In this problem, the force is 45N .  (That's
about 10.12 pounds.)

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about  9.8 meters per second² .

So    45N = (mass in kilograms) x (9.8 meters per second²)

Divide each side by  9.8 :      Mass = 45/9.8 = <u>4.59 kilograms</u>  (rounded)
