Explanation :

Instantaneous velocity: It is defined as the velocity at a particular instant of time.

Average velocity is the ratio of total displacement covered by an object divided by the total time taken.

It is given that, Kiley went 5.7 km/h north and then went 5.8 km/h west. Here, both direction as well as magnitude of velocity is given. This implies the instantaneous speeds.

The resultant of these two velocities would be :

$v=\sqrt{ (v_N)^2+(-v_w)^2$

$v=\sqrt{(5.8\ km/h)^2+(5.7\ km/h)^2}$

$v=8.1\ km/h$

She went 8.1 km/h northwards. This implies resultant velocity i.e. average speed.

So, the correct option is (a).

Hence, this is the required solution.

5.7 km/h north and 5.8 km/h west are instantaneous velocities, while 8.1 km/h is the average velocity.

This is because each value has a magnitude and direction so it is a velocity. Moreover, the 8.1 km/h is the resultant of the two velocities so it is the average while the other two are instantaneous.

Coherent light with wavelength 591 nm passes through two very narrow slits, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The wavelength will be "1.182 μm".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Wavelength

$\lambda=591 \ nm$

or,

$=591\times 10^-9 \ m$

Distance,

$d = 3.00 m$

$n = 1$

Distance of fringe from center,

$y = 4.84 \ mm$

We have to find the wavelength of first order dark fringe,

$\lambda = ?$

As we know,

⇒ $y_{bright} =\frac{1\times \lambda\times L}{d}$

On putting the given values in the formula, we get

$0.00484=\frac{1\times (591\times 10^{-9})\times 3}{d}$

On applying the cross multiplication, we get

$\lambda = \frac{0.00484\times 000036632}{0.5\times 3}$

$=1182\times 10^{-9}$

or,

$=1.182 \ \mu m$

It is more difficult to start moving a heavy carton from rest than it is to keep pushing it with constant velocity. This is beca

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

d. the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the for required to be applied to the carton is given as equal to the frictional force of between the carton and the surface. So, when the carton is at rest:

F = μs*W

and when the carton is in motion:

F = μk*W

where,

F = Force Required

μs = coefficient of static friction

μk = coefficient of kinetic friction

W = Weight of Carton

Since, the weight is constant. Therefore, for the increase in the force required to move the carton at rest than the force required to keep pushing the carton in velocity, the coefficient of static friction must be greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction. Therefore, the correct option is:

d. the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
