You drive your car for 2.0 h at 40.0 km/h then for 2.0 h at 60.0 km/h what is your average velocity?

1 answer:

7 0

In order to calculate velocity, we'd need to know the straight-line distance between the start and the finish, and we'd also need the direction of that line. The best we can do with the information given in the question is calculate the average SPEED.

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Distance covered in the first 2 hours = (2 hr) x (40 km/hr) = 80 km.
Distance covered in the second 2 hours = (2 hr) x (60 km/hr) = 120 km.

Total distance covered = (80 + 120) = 200 km
Time to cover the distance = (2 + 2) = 4 hours

Average speed = (200 km) / (4 hours) = 50 km/hour

What happens to the average kinetic energy of water molecules as water freezes

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

C. It decreases as the water releases energy to its surroundings

Explanation:

The energy that is possessed in the body because of the motion is said to be kinetic energy. When the water freezes, the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases as the particles stop motion. The energy is released in the surrounding. Freezing takes place when the liquid molecules slow down and lose the kinetic energy to form the solid crystals.
