Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
-- Traveling at 40 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 40 miles.
-- Traveling at 60 mph for 1 hour, the distance covered is 60 miles.
-- Total distance covered = (40 miles) + (60 miles) = 100 miles
-- Total time = (1 hour) + (1 hour) = 2 hours
-- Average speed = (100 miles) / (2 hours)
<em>Average speed = 50 miles per hour</em>
When a dielectric material is inserted between two plates of capacitor that are connected to a battery, you would observe that both the charge and the capacitance of the capacitor would change. This is due to the dielectric material which is able to transmit electric force.
The property of sound that determine its volume is its AMPLITUDE. The amplitude and the volume of the sound are directly varied. Which means that the larger the amplitude, the larger is the volume and the softer it is if the amplitude is smaller. It is not affected by the motion of the sound source so long as the barriers are not breached.
