Answer:

1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second

2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second

Explanation:

1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity

Therefore, average speed of the trip = $\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

From the graph attached,

Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30

= 90 meters

Total time taken = 60 seconds

Average speed = $\frac{90}{60}$

= 1.5 meter per second

2). Velocity is a vector quantity.

Therefore, average velocity = $\frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}$

= $\frac{d_{60}-d_0}{60-0}$

= $\frac{90-0}{60-0}$

= 1.5 meter per second

a 4kg block is attatched to a vertical sspring constant 800n/m. the spring stretches 5cm down. how much elastic potential energy

kow [346]

The Potential energy stored in the system is 1 J

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 4 kg

Spring constant, k = 800 N/m

Distance, x = 5cm = 0.05m

Potential energy, U = ?

We know,

Change in potential energy is equal to the work done.

So,

$U = \frac{1}{2} k (x)^2\\\\$

By plugging in the values we get,

$U = \frac{1}{2} * 800 * (0.05)^2\\ \\U = 400 * 0.0025\\\\U = 1J\\$

Therefore, Potential energy stored in the system is 1 J

Earth can be modeled with five layers based on the strengths and physical properties of the materials in them. Put the layers in

andre [41]

Answer:

Crust, Upper mantle, mantle, outer core, inner core

Explanation:

The Earth's layers have been clasified in 5 according to the materials that conform them, theri physical properties, strengths and also their state of matter. We all know how the outer layer of the Earth looks like, but if we start to dig a huge hole we are going to see different types por materials due to a change in pressure, temperature, and other factors. At the very center of the Earth there's what's called "core". The core is liquid and at extremely high temperatures. This is because of the enormous amount of pressure the rest of the Earth is putting it under. So, if we list the different layers of the Earth according to the materials they are made of, from the Earth's surface to the core, the answer is:

1) Crust (surface)

2) Upper Mantle

3) Mantle

4) Outer core

5) Inner core

In some books you may find a layer called Lithosphere. Tis layer consists not only of the crust, but also it contains the transition zone between the upper mantle and the crust.

DedPeter [7]

The magnitude of the force of friction is 40 N

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the student and the scooter along the horizontal direction. We have:
