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>

Answer:

It is virtual and behind the mirror

Explanation:

When an image is produced by a mirror, we have the following situations:

- The image is said to be in front of the mirror if it is on the same side of the object, with respect to the mirror

- The image is said to be behind of the mirror if it is on the opposite side of the object, with respect to the mirror

Moreover:

- The image is said to be real if it is in front of the mirror

- The image is said to be virtual if it is behind the mirror

In this case, the image (located at point I) is on the opposite side of the object (located at point O), so it is virtual and behind the mirror.

Answer: Experimental design means creating a set of procedures to test a hypothesis. A good experimental design requires a strong understanding of the system you are studying. By first considering the variables and how they are related ( Step 1 ), you can make predictions that are specific and testable

Explanation:

A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used interchangeably, a scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research, in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought.

At what distance from a 27 mw point source of electromagnetic waves is the electric field amplitude 0. 060 v/m ?

n200080 [17]

The distance from a 27 mw point source of electromagnetic waves where the electric field amplitude 0. 060 v/m will be 21.21 m .

Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

The highest point of a wave is known as 'crest' , whereas the lowest point is known as 'trough'. Electromagnetic waves can be split into a range of frequencies. This is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
