The average velocity is 20 km/h west
Explanation:
The velocity of an object is given by:
where
d is the displacement
t is the time elapsed
The displacement of an object is a vector connecting the initial position and the final position of motion.
In this problem, the car moved
40 km East
80 km West
Therefore, the displacement is given by (taking West as positive direction)
West
The time elapsed is
t = 2 h
Therefore, the average velocity is
in the West direction.

Answer:
True
Explanation:
If we swing a bucket of water fast enough in a vertical circle the water does not spill out even at the top-most position of the bucket. This happens because the centrifugal force acting away from the center in a circular motion neutralizes or overcomes the gravitational force on the water particles.
<u>Centrifugal force is mathematically related as:</u>
where:
m = mass of the revolving body
r = radius of revolution
angular velocity in radians per second
This force F acts in radially outward direction.
