First, we must recall that distance is the total length traveled by an object in which the direction of the motion does not matter. Meanwhile, displacement is the distance of the object from its starting point which means the directions matters for displacement. 

Now, speed is distance over time while velocity is displacement over time. Since we're talking about the same object's motion, the total time traveled is (120 + 90) = 210 seconds.

Now, the total distance traveled by the object is (400 + 250) = 650 m. Meanwhile the total displacement traveled by the object is  400 m, East + 250 m, West = 150 m, East.

Now, to find the speed and velocity, we just divide the values of distance and displacement, respectively, over time. Thus, we have

speed = 650 m / 210s ≈ 3.095 m/s
velocity = 150 m, East /210 s ≈ 0.714 m/s, East

Now, rounding the values up to 2  significant digits, we have

a) speed = 3.1 m/s
b) velocity = 0.71 m/s, East

How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?
fomenos
I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

Find the relation, time velocity graph : acceleration of an object, time position graph : ?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

In a time-position graph (s-t graph):

slope = velocity

In a time-velocity graph (v-t graph):

slope = acceleration

area under graph = change in displacement (distance travelled)

In a time-acceleration graph (a-t graph):

area under graph = change in velocity
