Instantaneous speed is measured

Physics
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]3 years ago
7 0

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:

v=\frac{d}{t}

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

v=\frac{100 m}{5 s}=20 m/s

- 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.

A ray of light is incident on a flat surface of a block of polystyrene, with an index of refraction of 1.49, that is submerged i
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

21.5°

Explanation:

Given,

Refractive index of water, n₁ = 1.33

Refractive index of polystyrene, n₂ = 1.49

Angle of reflection = ?

Angle of refraction = 19.1°

Using Snell's law

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

1.33 x sin θ₁ = 1.49 x sin 19.1°

sin θ₁ = 0.366

θ₁  = 21.5°

According to law of reflection angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

Angle of reflection =  21.5°

A box slides down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal. The gravitational force on the box is direct
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

D) Vertically.

Explanation:

A free body diagram is used to represent all the forces acting in a body. forces like, the force of gravity as a result of the gravitational interaction between the object and the Earth (W), the frictional force opposite to the movement of the object (F_{r}), the normal force due to the plane and the object (N) and the force applied to start the movement in a particular direction (F).

As is show in the free body diagram of the system, W, which is the weight of the body as a consequence of the gravitational force, is at an angle \theta below the inclined plane. that angle between the plane and the x axis is the same that the one of the inclined plane with respect to the horizontal, Since its sides are perpendicular.  

Notice how W goes always in the direction to the center of mass of Earth in a vertical path (For comparison see figure (a) and (b)).

Which equation describes the line containing the points (-2, 3) and (1, 2)​
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

y =  \frac{ - 1}{3}x +  \frac{7}{3}

Explanation:

\frac{y - 3}{2 - 3}  =  \frac{x + 2}{1 + 2}  \\  \ - y + 3 =  \frac{x + 2}{3}  \\  y =   \frac{ - 1}{3}x  +  \frac{7}{3}
