Answer:

The instantaneous velocity is the specific rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time at a single point (x,t) , while average velocity is the average rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time over an interval.Average velocity : Average velocity of a body is defined as the change in position or displacement (Δx) divided by time interval (Δt) in which that displacement occurs.

Instantaneous velocity : The instantaneous velocity of a body is the velocity of the body at any instant of time or at any point of its path .

velocity can be positive , negative or zero.

By studying speed and velocity we come to the result that at any time interval average speed of an object is equal or more than the average but instantaneous speed is equal to instantaneous velocity.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

V = 90.51 m/s

Explanation:

From the given information:

Initial speed (u) = 0

Distance (S) = 391 m

Acceleration (a) = 18.9 m/s²

Using the relation for the equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

v² - 0² = 2as

v² = 2as

$v = \sqrt{2as}$

$v = \sqrt{2*18.9*391}$

v = 121.57 m/s

After the parachute opens:

The initial velocity = 121.57 m/ss

Distance S' = 332 m

Acceleration = -9.92 m/s²

How fast is the racer can be determined by using the relation:

$V= \sqrt{v^2 + 2aS'}$

$V = \sqrt{121.57^2+ 2 (-9.92)(332)}$

V = 90.51 m/s

An observer stands 24.7 m behind a marksman practicing at a rifle range. The marksman fires the rifle horizontally, the speed of

GaryK [48]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Velocity of bullet, $c_{p}$ = 814.8 m/s

Observer distance from marksman, d = 24.7 m

Let us assume that time necessary for report of rifle to reach the observer is t and will be calculated as follows.

t = $\frac{24.7}{343}$ (velocity in air = 343 m/s)

= 0.072 sec

Now, before the observer hears the report the distance traveled by the bullet is as follows.

$d_{b} = c_{b} \times t$

= $814.8 \times 0.072$

= 58.66

= 59 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that each bullet will travel a distance of 59 m.

Each element has an atomic number state which is meant by atomic number

netineya [11]

Answer: The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and isotopes have the same atomic number but differ in the number of neutrons. The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number. This number is very important because it is unique for atoms of a given element. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, and every element has a different number of protons in its atoms.

A hockey puck has a mass of 0.107 kg and is at rest. A hockey player makes a shot, exerting a constant force of 28.0 N on the pu

gregori [183]

Answer:

The speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Mass = 0.107 kg

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0

Force (F) = 28 N

Time = 0.16 sec

From newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration

⇒ F = m × a

⇒ 28 = 0.107 × a

⇒ a = 261.7 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ --------- (1)

This is the value of acceleration.

Final speed of the mass is calculated by the equation V = U + at

⇒ U = 0 because mass in in rest position at start.

⇒ V = a t

Put the values of acceleration and time in above formula we get

⇒ V = 261.7 × 0.16

⇒ V = 41.87 $\frac{m}{s}$

Therefore the speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 $\frac{m}{s}$
