Answer:

The answer is Average speed is equal to 12.5 m/sec

Explanation:

1- The average speed is the relationship between the distance traveled that a body made and the total time it took to perform it.

2- The formula that allows to calculate the average velocity is V = ΔX/ΔT where (V) is the average speed, (ΔX) is the distance traveled and (ΔT) is the time interval.

3- Knowing this we can replace the values given in the problem:

V = \frac{400m}{32sec} \\V = 12.5  m/sec

To find average speed, we divide the distance of travel (in this case, 400 metres) by the time she took, 32 seconds.  Therefore: 12.5 seconds is her average speed.

If a 7 kg bowling ball is lifted 2 m into the air and dropped, what speed will it strike the ground? (
Naily [24]

Answer:

6.32m/s

Explanation:

note:Now these calculations are based in the fact that acc. due to gravity is 10m/s²

okay so I'm thinking you think the speed of a body depends on the mass of the body also,umh... well it doesn't at all!

when two bodies of different masses fall from the same height,they fall at the same time( this is just to say)

now enough of the talking let solve....

so the ball was dropped .ie from rest to the ground through a distance of 2m,

the formula for calculating the distance if a body moving in a straight line is given by:

S=ut + ½at² where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration ( of the body or due to gravity, but since its falling freely under the influence of gravity its " we use the acceleration due to gravity ,which is 10m/s²) and t is the time taken to cover the distance.

from our question the ball was dropped from rest thus its u is 0 therefore we use this equation to find the time it took to touch ground (S=½at²)

solving ....

we get t to be 0.632s

to find the speed we substitute t in the equation below:

V=u+at ,but since u=0

V=at =10•0.632=6.32m/s

therefore the speed the body uses to strike the ground is 6.32m/s

Two diverging light rays, originating from the same point, have an angle of 5° between them. After the rays reflect from a plane
LuckyWell [14K]
As a reference, consider the line from the point perpendicular to the mirror.
That direction is called 'normal' to the mirror.

The ray on the right leaves the point traveling 5° to the right of the normal,
and leaves the mirror on a path that's 10° to the right of the normal.

The ray on the left leaves the point traveling 5° to the left of the normal,
and leaves the mirror on a path that's 10° to the left of the normal.

The angle between the two rays after they leave the mirror is 20° .

Frankly, Charlotte, if there were more than 5 points available for this answer,
I'd seriously consider giving you a drawing too.

A brick is thrown from a wall that is 19.2 m above the ground and hits the ground 5.00 s later. What was the initial velocity of
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Given the following :

Height of wall = 19.2 m

Time taken to hit the ground = 5 seconds

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8m/s ( downward motion)

The initial velocity of the object refers to the Velocity of the object at time t = 0

Initial Velocity = g × time

Initial Velocity = 9.8 × 0 = 0

Why does a Ray of light passing through a glass slab not shown dispersion?​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.
