Instantaneous speed is measured
1 answer:
Answer:
C. At a particular instant
Explanation:
Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:
where d is the distance and t the time.
However, there are two possible measurements of speed:
- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is
- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.
<u>Explanation</u>:
We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:
Better understood from numerical example as given:
If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?
This can be solved as follows:
It shows that man A will have more K.E.
Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.
