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.

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about a perpendicular axis at one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.231 N

Explanation:

To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

$\alpha = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{6.37}{9.87} = 0.6454 rad/s^2$

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

$I = \frac{mL^2}{3} = \frac{1.27*0.847^2}{3} = 0.303kgm^2$

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

$T = I\alpha = 0.303*0.6454 = 0.196 Nm$

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

$F = \frac{T}{L} = \frac{0.196}{0.847} = 0.231 N$

Which evidence did Alfred Wegener’s original theory of continental drift have access to?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Evidence for continental drift

Wegener knew that fossil plants and animals such as mesosaurs, a freshwater reptile found only South America and Africa during the Permian period, could be found on many continents. He also matched up rocks on either side of the Atlantic Ocean like puzzle pieces.

You are riding in the passenger seat of a car as it goes around a tight turn. You slide across the seat to the passenger side do

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

1. b. The door is exerting a centripetal force on you that balances the centrifugal force of the turn.

2. b. There is no net force acting on the object.

Explanation:

1. This is because as you move to the right due to the centrifugal force of the turn, a corresponding centripetal force acts on you due to the door which does not allow you fall out of the car since, the door is exerting a centripetal force on you that balances the centrifugal force of the turn.

So, the answer is b

2. This is because, since the object moves at a constant speed and thus does not accelerate, no net force can act on it since, a net force would imply that the object accelerates. Note that a constant speed does not imply that no force acts on it. It only shows that the resultant or net force is zero since the object does not accelerate.

So, there is no net force acting on the object.

So, b is the answer.

Two ways that radio waves are used for transmitting information. Help me please.

Travka [436]

1. Stop transmitting start and stop sending photons. This is typical morse code like transmissions of information. By varying the pattern of starts stops you vary the information sent. Also used in digital communications over radios, modems, and pulse dialing over radio/phones.

2. Change the frequency. You use a pattern of shorter and longer wavelengths of radio waves higher and lower energies of individual photons to transmit information. This is frequency modulation
