On a straight road (taken to be in the +x direction) you drive for an hour at 50 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 90 km per

hour and drive for an additional two hours.Required:a. How far do you go?b. What is your average x component of velocity?c. Why isn't vavg,x equal to the arithmetic average of your initial and final values of vx, (50+90)/2 = 70 km per hour?

Answer:

A.) 230 km

B.) 76.67 km/h

Explanation:

Given that On a straight road (taken to be in the +x direction) you drive for an hour at 50 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 90 km per hour and drive for an additional two hours.

A.) How far do you go?

When driving for an hour, the distance covered will be

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 50 × 1 = 50 km

When driving for additional 2 hours, the distance covered will be

Distance = 90 × 2 = 180 km

Total distance = 180 + 50 = 230 km

b. What is your average x component of velocity?

Average Velocity = total distance/ total time

Average velocity = 230/3

Average velocity = 76.67 km/h

c. Why isn't vavg,x equal to the arithmetic average of your initial and final values of vx, (50+90)/2 = 70 km per hour

They are not equal because of the displacement is the same as distance travelled.

Answer:

For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain  time?

Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

_____________________________________________________

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?

Ans: We\ know\ that\ acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity-Initial\ Velocity}{Time\ taken}

Hence,

By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

_________________________________________________________

How do you know the  Displacement at a certain time?

Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.

A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor.
Zina [86]

Answer:

has free electrons

Explanation:

A conductor has free electrons while an insulator does not. Free electrons are electrons which are not bounded tightly to their parent atoms, and are free to move given the right conditions (ie. a strong EM field).
