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

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.

A bullet is fired horizontally into an initially stationary block of wood suspended by a string and remains embedded in the bloc
UkoKoshka [18]

The ratio of the kinetic energy of the block/bullet system immediately after the collision to the initial kinetic energy of the bullet is 0.78 %.

<h3>Final velocity of the block/bullet system</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the final velocity of the block/bullet system.

K.E = P.E

¹/₂mv² = mgh

¹/₂v² = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • h is the maximum height reached by the system
  • v is the initial velocity of the system

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 1.1)

v = 4.64 m/s

<h3>Initial velocity of the bullet</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

  • u₁ is the initial velocity of the bullet
  • u₂ is the initial velocity of the block
  • v is the final velocity after collision
  • m₁ is mass bullet
  • m₂ is mass of block

(0.0075)u₁ + (0.95)(0) = 4.64(0.0075 + 0.95)

0.0075u₁ = 4.4428

u₁ = 4.4428/0.0075

u₁ = 592.37 m/s

<h3>Initial kinetic energy of the bullet</h3>

K.Ei = ¹/₂m₁u₁²

K.Ei = ¹/₂(0.0075)(592.37)²

K.Ei = 1,315.88 J

<h3>Final kinetic energy of the block/bullet system</h3>

K.Ef = ¹/₂(m₁ + m₂)v²

K.Ef = ¹/₂(0.0075 + 0.95)(4.64)²

K.Ef = 10.31 J

<h3>Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy</h3>

= K.Ef/K.Ei x 100%

= (10.31 / 1,315.88) x 100%

= 0.78 %

A class 9 student booked his ticket to moon. His travel company
jasenka [17]

Answer: LET'S TAKE GRAVITY ON EARTH AS 10 N/KG AND ON MOON AS 0.6 N/KG

a) weight=15kgx10N/kg

               = 150N

b) weight=15x0.6=9N

c) mass=is the same so 15kg

d) mass is measured in kg, weight in NEWTONS OR KG M/S^{2}

e) when the gravitational force is zero

How much time is required for a car to reach a speed of 100 m/s if it starts from rest and its average acceleration is 12 m/s2?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

t = 8.3s

Explanation:

V = 100 m/s U = 0 m/s t = ? a = 12 m/s2

V = U + at

100 = 0 + 12 × t = 100 = 12t

12t = 100

t = 100/12 = 25/3

t = 8.3s

Two hockey players , big Jim and little Tim collide head on and get tangled while going for the puck 65kg time was traveling at
12345 [234]
I will assume that big Joe is big Jim. The equation for the momentum is p=m*v, where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity. Big Joe has a mass m=105 kg and speed v=5.2 m/s. When we input the numbers:

p=105*5.2=546 kg*(m/s).

So big Joe's momentum before the collision is p=546 kg*(m/s).
