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.

How can you tell animal and plant cells apart

Lynna [10]

Well there are a couple ways. 1: The easiest, plant cells have a cell wall or extra protection. You will not find this on an animal cell, as there is only a membrane. 2: Chloroplast. This also will not be found in animal cells as they produce the plant's green color as well as the sugar. Hope this helps!

The position of a circuit breaker (CB) are .............

AlexFokin [52]

A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.

Find the separation of two points on the Moon’s surface that can just be resolved by the 200 in. (= 5.1 m) telescope at Mount Pa

rewona [7]

Answer:

The separation of the 2 points should be 50.0 meters.

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh's scattering criteria the angular separation between 2 points to be resolved equals

$\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{\lambda }{D}$

Applying the given values we get

$\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{550\times 10^{-9} }{5.1}=0.1316\times 10^{-6}rads$

thus the linear separation equals $L=\theta \times Distance$

Applying the given values we get

$L=0.1316\times 10^{-6} \times 3.8\times 10^{5}\times 10^{3}meters\\\\\therefore L=50.00metes$

You throw a stone horizontally at a speed of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff that is 78.4 m high.

Monica [59]

a)You throw a stone horizontally at a speed of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff that is 78.4 m high.

from above statement we got

height = 78.4 m

since the ball is thrown, so its vertical velocity would be zero

u = 0

taking g = 9.8m/s^2

now, using the equation of motion

h = ut + gt^2/2

now putting all the values in it

we got ,

78.4 = 9.8 * t^2/ 2

by solving we got,

t = 4 sec

b) now, since along the horizontal , no force acting and accelaration is zero so

R = ut , R is RANGE

R = 5 * 4

range = 20 m

c) vertical components of the stone’s velocity just before it hits the ground = v sin θ =

horizontal components of the stone’s velocity just before it hits the ground = v cos θ
