<h2><u>How</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>solve</u><u>?</u></h2>

We know that, Velocity is the rate of displacement covered. Displacement is the shortest path between the Initial and Final point covered by the body. So,

Velocity = Displacement / Time

And, when it comes to Average velocity, It is the total displacement by total time taken. So, By using this let's solve this question.....

<h2><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h2>

✏️ Refer to the attachment...

Let the body goes to point A that is 7 m East of the Initial point. Then it comes backward because West is opposite to East in perpendicular direction. It covers 1.5 m backwards in the same line to reach B which is the Final point.

So,

Displacement = Final point - Initial point

⇛ Displacement = 7 m - 1.5 m

⇛ Displacement = 5.5 m

Total time taken,

⇛ 2 hours + 1 hour

⇛ 3 hours

Finding Average displacement,

⇛ Total displacement / Total time taken

⇛ 5.5 m / 3 hours

⇛ 1.83333.... hours

So, the Final answer is,

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \purple{1.8 \bar{3}m}}}}$

The principle of work states that the ratio of work output to work input is always

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

work output is always less than work input - the ratio is less than 1.

Explanation:

This principle comes from the fact that a machine or system cannot produce more work than is supplied to it, because this would violate the energy conservation law (work is a type of mechanical energy).

In theoretical machines called "ideal machines" the input work is the same as the output work, but these machines are only theoretical because in real applications there is always some type of energy loss, either in heat produced by a machine or processes for its operation, for this reason the output work is always less than the input work.

Regarding the ratio work output to work input:

$\frac{WO}{WI} < 1$

because work input WI is always greater than work output WO.

"4.What determines how many figures are significant in reported measurement values? What

MAXImum [283]

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

<h3>What is significant figure?</h3>

The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.

Significant figures are the digits in a value that are known with some degree of confidence.

The effect of reporting more or fewer figures or digits than are significant;

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

As precision of a measurement increases, so does the number of significant figures.

A 91.0-kg hockey player is skating on ice at 5.50 m/s. another hockey player of equal mass, moving at 8.1 m/s in the

never [62]

The momentum before the collision velocity after the collision will be 1237.6 kg m/s² and 6.8 m/sec.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

(m₁) is the mass of hockey player 1= 91.0-kg

(m₂) is the mass of hockey player 2= 91.0-kg

(u₁) is the velocity before collision of hockey player 1 = 5.50 m/s.

(u₂) is the velocity before the collision of hockey player 2=?

Momentum before the collision;

$\rm m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 \\\\ 91.0 \times 5.50 + 91.0 \times 8.1 \\\\ 1237.6 kg m/s^2$

Momentum before the collision = 1237.6 kg m/s².

The velocity of the two hockey players after the collision from the law of conservation of the momentum as:

Momentum before collision = Momentum after the collision

1237.6 kg m/s² = (m₁+m₂)V

1237.6 kg m/s² =(2 ×91.0-kg )V

V=6.8 m/sec.

Hence, momentum before the collision velocity after the collision will be 1237.6 kg m/s² and 6.8 m/sec.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Pressure (P) is the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/ $m^{2}$ (newtons per meter squared).
