Answer:

20m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance of throw = 50m

Time  = 3s

Unknown:

Average speed  = ?

Solution:

Average speed is distance divided by time;

  Average speed  = \frac{distance }{time}

Insert the parameters and solve;

  Average speed  = \frac{50}{3}   = 16.66667m/s  = 20m/s

A pair of narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.254 mm are illuminated by green light of wavelength 559 nm. An interference patt
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: 3.76 mm

Explanation: The formulae that defines the position of a nth fringe from the center of a double slit interference experiment is given below as

y =R×mλ/d

Where y = distance between the nth fringe and the center

R = distance between slits and screen = 1.71 m

m = position of fringe = 1

d = distance between slits = 0.254 mm = 0.000254m

λ = wavelength of light = 559 nm = 559×10^-9m

By substituting parameters, we have that

y = 1.71×1×559×10^-9/0.000254

y = 0.00000095589 / 0.000254

y = 0.00376m = 3.76 mm

On a straight road with the +x axis chosen to point in the direction of motion, you drive for 5 hours at a constant 20 miles per
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

v = 26.7 mph

Explanation:

During the first 5 hours, at a constant speed of 20 mph, we find the total displacement to be as follows:

Δx₁ = v₁*t₁ = 20 mph*5 h = 100 mi

Assuming we can neglect the displacement during the speeding up from 20 to 60 mph, we can find the the total displacement at 60 mph as follows:

Δx₂ = v₂*t₂ = 60 mph*1 h = 60 mi

So, the total displacement during all the trip wil be:

Δx = Δx₁ + Δx₂ = 100 mi + 60 mi = 160 mi

So we can find the the average velocity during the 6-hour period, applying the definition of average velocity, as follows:

v = Δx / Δt = 160 mi / 6 h = 26.7 mph

Can and object have a negative position and a positive velocity? Or vice versa, a positive position and a negative velocity? Exp
zavuch27 [327]
Imagine a ball is moving on the following horizontal line.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Take right as positive. O is the starting point of the ball. Denote the ball by o.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . ... . . o . . . . . .

Assume the ball is moving to the right. It has positive displacement since it is on the right of O, and positive velocity since its positive displacement is increasing.

.ñ

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . o . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Now the ball is returning to O. It still has positive displacement since its current position is still on the right of O. However, its velocity is negative since its positive displacement is decreasing and the direction of the velocity vector points left, which is the negative side.

By now you should be able to come up with a scenario where the ball has negative displacement and positive velocity.

You can observe the same phenomenon in daily life. Say, as a stretched spring bounces to its starting position, if we let the returning direction be positive, the string has negative displacement since it is on the negative direction, but has positive velocity. Bungee jump can also used to illustrate the phenomenon.
