Answer:

Find answers below.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

$Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

1. Speed: Jackson ran 5k in 24 minutes.

2. Velocity: A storm is travelling 25 km/hour eastward.

3. Speed: John walked 420 m in 17.5 seconds.

4. Velocity: Zart moved the desk 34 cm to the left.

5. Speed: A hurricane travels 360 km in 15 hours.

6. Speed: Meredith runs 400 meters in 50 seconds.

7. Velocity: Stephen Jay swims 110 m towards the shore in 72 seconds.

8. Velocity: Vince throws a baseball 38 m from third base to first base in 1.7 seconds.

Cerrena [4.2K]

The flowers reflect relatively low frequency and low amplitude light waves.
White light contains a spectrum of colors, and red light is at the beginning of this spectrum in terms of energy. This means that it has the lowest frequency, as the energy of a wave of light is directly proportional to its frequency.
The amplitude of a light wave gives a measure of how intense the light is. A dull light means that the amplitude of the wave is low.

22. State any three features of the electroscope.

MatroZZZ [7]

-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.

Answer:

Explanation:

You can approach an expression for the instantaneous velocity at any point on the path by taking the limit as the time interval gets smaller and smaller. Such a limiting process is called a derivative and the instantaneous velocity can be defined as.#3

For the special case of straight line motion in the x direction, the average velocity takes the form: If the beginning and ending velocities for this motion are known, and the acceleration is constant, the average velocity can also be expressed as For this special case, these expressions give the same result. Example for non-constant acceleration#1
