Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Speed of an object is defined as the distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity It is composed only of the magnitude but the direction is absent. Mathematically, it is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

d = distance

t = time

So, the correct option is (c) " distance per time ". Its unit can be miles per hour or meter per second.

What is the average acceleration of a jet ski that goes from rest to 10 m/s west in 4 s? Take the direction west to be positive,
skad [1K]

|acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                       = (10 m/s - 0)          /  (4 s)

                       =        (10 / 4) (m/s²)

                       =            2.5 m/s² .

The direction of the acceleration is west.

iragen [17]

Answer:

The energy that drives this movement is heat within the earth, this heat comes from two main sources which are;

1) residual heat left over from the formation of our planet billions of years ago.

2) The radioactive decay of naturally occurring chemical elements (notably uranium, thorium, and potassium ) in the earth releases energy in the form of heat. These two sources of heat warm Earth’s mantle and cause it to rise and sink, this rising and sinking creates a convectional movement of earth mantle.
