Answer:

a) Average\ Speed=28\ km/h\\b) Average\ Velocity= 20\ km/h

Explanation:

We\ are\ given\ that,\\Velocity\ of\ the\ car\ Eastwards=60\ km/h\\Time\ taken\ by\ the\ car\ Eastwards=2\ h\\Velocity\ of\ the\ car\ Northwards=20\ km/h\\Time\ taken\ by\ the\ car\ Northwards=8\ h\\Hence,\\As\ we\ know\ that,\\Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Distance= Speed* Time\\Now,\ lets\ find\ the\ distance\ covered\ by\ the\ car\ in\ both\ the\ cases.

Hence,\\Distance\ Covered\ During\ its\ Eastward\ Journey=60*2=120\ km\\Distance\ Covered\ During\ its\ Northward\ Journey=20*8=160\ km\\Now,\\As\ we\ know\ that\ Average\ Speed=\frac{Total\ Distance}{Total\ Time} \\Here,\\Total\ distance\ of\ the\ car=Distance\ Covered\ During\ its\ Northward\ Journey+Distance\ Covered\ During\ its\ Eastward\ Journey\\Hence,\\Total\ distance\ of\ the\ car=120+160=280\ km\\Total\ time\ taken\ by\ the\ car=8+2=10\ hours\\Hence,\\Average\ Speed\ Of\ the\ Car\ throughout\ its\ journey=\frac{280}{10}=28\ km/h

Now,\\For\ Average\ Velocity\ we\ need\ to\ consider\ displacement\ as:\\Average\ Velocity\ =\frac{Total\ Displacement}{Total\ Time} \\Now,\\As\ we\ already\ know\ that\ displacement\ is\ the\ shortest\ distance\\ from\ the\ initial\ to\ the\ final\ point.\\We\ observe\ that, \\The\ car\ forms\ a\ right\ triangle\ during\ its\ complete\ journey.\\Hence,\\As\ we\ already\ know\ that,\\Distance\ travelled\ Eastwards= 120\ km\\Distance\ travelled\ Northwards= 160\ km\\Hence,\\We\ may\ apply\ Pythagoras\ Property\ to\ find\ the\ net\ displacement.\\Hence,\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\120^2+160^2=c^2\\14400+25600=c^2\\40000=c^2\\c=\sqrt{40000}\\c=200\\Hence,\\Total\ displacement=200\ km\\Total\ Time\ taken=2+8=10\ hours\\Hence,\\Average\ Velocity\ Of\ the\ Car=\frac{200}{10}=20\ km/h

What are the effects of pressure on liquids?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: Changes in pressure have very little effect on the volume of a liquid. Liquids are slightly incompressible because any increase in pressure can only slightly minimize the distance between the closely packed molecules. Hope this helps.

Maurinko [17]
Newton's second law is stated as:
F=ma,

a = (7-4)/1.5 = 2 m/s^2 (it is a deceleration due to impact with floor. And thus the ball exerts force on the floor).

Therefore,

F= 0.3*2 = 0.6 N
