A person jogs eight complete laps around a quarter-mile track in a total time of 13.1 minutes

5 0

Speed and velocity have the same magnitudes. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. In other words, speed is just a magnitude, while velocity is a magnitude with direction. They're essentially the same.

Let's convert miles to meters and minutes to seconds

1/4 mile = 402.34 meters ( 1 mile = 1609 m)
13.1 minutes = 786 seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds)

Speed is calculated as distance over time, thus,

Speed = (402.34 meters)*8/786 seconds
a.) Speed = 4.1 m./s
b.) Velocity = 4.1 m/s

What is non uniform velocity

saul85 [17]

Answer:

"Non-uniform velocity" occurs when an object changes its velocity upon motion. This happens when the object either accelerates or decelerates (negative acceleration) in its speed or changes its direction.

Explanation:

"Velocity" refers to speed with a specific direction.

If the velocity is uniform, there's no change in speed and direction. However, if changes occur on either the speed, direction or both, then the velocity becomes variable or non-uniform.

For example, when it comes to a moving car, it is said to be in non-uniform velocity if the distances covered is unequal in relation to the equal intervals of time.

A person travels by car from one city to another with differem constan1 speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a.52.9 km/h

b.90 km

Explanation:

We are given that

$v_1=89km/h$

$t_1=30min$

$v_2=100km/h$

$t_2=12min$

$v_3=40km/h$

$t_3=45 min$

Time spend on eating lunch and buying ga=15 min.

a.Total time=30+12+45+15=102 minute= $\frac{102}{60}=1.7 hour$

1 hour=60 minutes

Distance= $speed\times time$

$d_1=v_1\times t_1=80\times\frac{30}{60}=40km$

$d_2=100\times \frac{12}{60}=20 km$

$d_3=40\times \frac{45}{60}=30 km$

Total distance= $d_1+d_2+d_3=40+20+30=90km$

Average speed= $\frac{total\;speed}{total\;time}$

Using the formula

Average speed= $\frac{90}{1.7}=52.9Km/h$

b.Total distance between the initial and final city lies along the route=90 km

An apple is held completely submerged just below the surface of water in a container. The apple is then moved to a deeper point

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the apple is held submerged in water , it experiences a buoyant force due to which it floats in water . One has to apply downward force to keep it submerged. The lower the buoyant force , lower the force needed to submerge it in water.

When apple is held at much deeper point , it experience greater pressure due to column of water around it . So its size or its volume decreases . But its weight remains the same . Due to less volume , buoyant force also decreases ( buoyant force is equal to weight of displaced volume of water. )

Due to buoyant force becoming less , force needed on apple in downward direction will also be less.
