Give an example where instantaneous speed is different from average speed

2 answers:

6 0

The speedometer of a car reveals information about the instantaneous speed of your car.
It shows your speed at a particular instance in time...
Yet, on average, you were moving with a speed of 25 miles per hour.

Hope you liked the example, and glad I could help!

Answer:

Yes average speed may be different from instantaneous speed

Explanation:

When an object is moving with non uniform speed on a straight road or on a curved path then its instantaneous speed at different points of its path is different.

But if we will find the average speed of the path then it will be different from its actual average speed

For example we can say that let a Car is moving for speed 40 km/h for first hour of its journey and then for next hour of its journey its speed is 60 km/h

So here instantaneous speed of the car is either 40 km/h or 60 km/h

While to find the average speed we will say

$v_{avg} = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$

$v_{avg} = \frac{40 + 60}{2} = 50 km/h$

What minimum heat is needed to bring 250 g of water at 20 ∘C to the boiling point and completely boil it away? The specific heat

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:633.8 KJ

Explanation:

Given

mass of water $\left ( m\right )=250gm$

Initial temperature $\left ( T_i\right )=20^{\circ}C$

Final temperature $\left ( T_f\right )=100^{\circ}C$

Specific heat of water $\left ( c \right )$ =4190 J/kg-k

heat of vaporization $\left ( L\right )=22.6\times 10^5 J/kg$

Heat required for process $\left ( Q\right )$ =heat to raise water temperature from 20 to 100 +Heat to vapourize water completely

Q=mc $\left ( T_f-T_i\right )+mL$

Q= $0.25\times 4190\times \left ( 100-20\right )+0.25\times 22\times 10^5$

Q= $\left ( 0.838+5.5\right )\times 10^5$

Q= $6.338\times 10^5J=633.8 KJ$

Anuja is holding a stuffed dog, with a mass of 0.30 kg, when Derek decides that he wants it and tries to pull it away from Abuja

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a = 3.33 m/s²

Explanation:

The horizontal acceleration of the dog can be found by using Newton's Second Law of Motion as follows:

F = ma

where,

F = Unbalanced force applied on the dog = 11 N - 10 N = 1 N

m = mass of the dog = 0.3 kg

a = horizontal acceleration of dog = ?

Therefore,

1 N = 0.3 kg(a)

a = 1 N/0.3 kg
