Does the speedometer of a car read average speed or instantaneous speed?

1 answer:

8 0

Speedometer of car read instantaneous speed of course. Its because when you stop it instantaneous show 0. If speedometer show average speed there should be different value than 0 (much greater) just when you stop.
Maybe there are car with speedometer with average speed but the time from which the average is taken is extremely small. Its simply instantaneous speed.

The driving force behind an efficient supply chain is __________.

Doss [256]

Customer satisfaction is considered to be the "driving force" in order to achieve an efficient supply chain. An efficient supply chain takes place when the organization, or the company itself, meets with the demands of the consumers to improve and provides services that satisfies the people.

Which statement best describes air pressure at high altitudes? (Points : 3)

WARRIOR [948]

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. this is because air pressure is caused by the gravity of earth, the gravity pulls on the air, compacting it and making a pressure.
But as we go higher, gravity decreases, causing less pull on the air resulting in less air pressure.

To qualify to run in the 2005 Boston Marathon, a distance of 26.2 miles, an 18-year-old woman had to have completed another mara

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

7,14545 mph and 3,1936 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is calculated by dividing the displacement over time, then it is 26,2 miles/(3 2/3 hours), here 3 (2/3) hours is a mixed number, that represents 11/3 hours or 3,66 hours. Then the average speed is 7,14545 mph, now to turn this into meters per second, we notice as mentioned that 1 mile =1609 meters and 1 hour=3600 seconds. Then 7,14545 miles/hour* (1 hour/3600 seconds) * (1609 meters/1 mile)=3,1936 m/s

Give reason for the following:

Zigmanuir [339]

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground because of gravitational attraction force of earth.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding.
