Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was
(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.
That's the slope of the dotted line.
Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was
(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .
That's the slope of the solid line.
Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".
We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".
The correct answer for this question is this one: "C. Neither Natalie nor Will." Natalie and Will are discussing socialization. Natalie says that socialization occurs when an animal becomes accustomed to the people in the household. <span>Will says that socialization is easily attained if the animal is first exposed to humans after 12 weeks of age.</span>
Answer:
We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is
and the kinetic energy is
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is
, but the kinetic energy is reduced to
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
