You drive a car for 2.0 h at 60 km/h, then for another 3.0 h at 85 km/h. What is your average velocity
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Average velocity is found in the total displacement experienced in the trip divided by the total time it took to make this trip. If, for the first 2.0 hours, the car travels at 60 km/hr, then in 2.0 hours the car can travel 120 km; if it then travels for 3.0 at 85 km/hr, it can travel 255 km in the same direction. The total time this took was 5.0 hours. So doing the math and rounding correctly by following the rules for the adding and subtracting of sig fig's:
If you do not round when you add, the average velocity is 75 km/hr

Explanation:
Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity
this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.
De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:
where \lambda = wavelength of the matter wave associated to the particle, h = planck's constant
and
thus, this highlights the wave nature of the particle and is also relativistic.
