Steve is planning his annual Spring Break road trip. He pulls out his map and draws out his route to visit the five locations th

at he has planned for this year. They go in a counterclockwise loop and he ends up at home, where he started, just in time to start classes again. Whenever he is on the road he travels a constant 60 miles/hour. When Steve adds up the total distance traveled, as measured by his odometer, and divides it by the time that his trip took, he has measured what quantity?
a. His average velocity.
b. His average speed.
c. His instantaneous velocity.
d. His instantaneous speed.

Answer:

His average speed.

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance travelled / total time .

In the given case odometer measures total distance travelled . Dividing it by time will give average speed .

Average velocity can not be the answer as it is measured by dividing displacement by time . Displacement here is zero because initial and final point are same . Instantaneous velocity is given by the speedometer . It keeps on changing all the time . It is actually speed at a particular point of time . It can not be average velocity or speed .

Correct your friend that says, "The dragster rounded the curve at a constant velocity of 100 km/h." In other words, what is wron
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Correct statement will be dragster rounded the curve with constant speed

Explanation:

It is given that his fried says that The dragster rounded the curve with a constant velocity of 100 km/hour

It is a wrong statement because in circular motion velocity will never constant as the direction of speed is always changing

The correct statement will be dragster rounded the curve with a constant speed because speed may be constant in circular motion

Which of the following items can enter and exit an isolated system?
Mkey [24]

Neither energy nor matter can enter and exit an isolated system.

Explanation:

There are three types of systems which refers to universe. They are

1. Open System : In an open system, both energy and matter have external interactions. Example:- boiling water in an open pan.

2. Closed system : In a closed system, only energy has interaction with surroundings.  Example:- boiling water with a lid on the pan.

3. Isolated system : In an isolated system, neither energy-nor matter has external interactions with surroundings. Example : a thermos flask does not exchange energy and matter.

Hence, the correct option is (a) " neither energy nor matter ".

Two concurrent forces of 6 newtons and 12 newtons could produce the same effect as a single force of?
snow_tiger [21]
<span>If the forces are acting in exactly opposite directions, they will subtract, and the magnitude of the resultant force is 6 N. This is the minimum resultant force, so that rules out (1). Similarly, if they act in exactly the same direction, they will add, and the resultant force is 18 N. This will be the maximum resultant force. That rules out (3) and (4). Thus, at some angle (between 0 and 180 degrees), you COULD find a resultant force of 15 N.</span>

A speed skater goes around a turn with a 31 m radius. The skater has a speed of 14 m/s and experiences a centripetal force of 46
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Mass of the skater, m = 72.75 kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the circular path, r = 31 m

Speed of the skater, v = 14 m/s

Centripetal force, F = 460 N

We need to find the mass of the skater. It can be determined using the formula of centripetal force. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

m=\dfrac{Fr}{v^2}

m=\dfrac{460\ N\times 31\ m}{(14\ m/s)^2}

m = 72.75 kg

So, the mass of the skater is 72.75 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
