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.

<span>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.</span>

Which of the following is a circuit component whose function includes changing an open circuit to a closed circuit?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

<h2>B. Switch</h2>

Explanation:

<u>A device designed to open or close a circuit under controlled conditions is called a switch. The terms “open” and “closed” refer to switches as well as entire circuits. An open switch is one without continuity: current cannot flow through it.</u>

A wave With wavelength 20 m has a frequency of 12 Hz what is the waves speed
pentagon [3]

Answer:

240m/s

Explanation:

The equation to calculate is wavelength= velocity/ frequency so to find the velocity you would have to multiply frequency by wavelength.
