Scientists conduct experiments in order to prove a theory or a prediction they have or contradict it, so that then they can write down their results to study them.
The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
The correct answer is option D.
In the given graph, we can deduce the following;
- the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s
The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;
- first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm
- first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm
- second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm
- second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm
- third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm
- fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm
- final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm
The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.
The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.
- This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P
- From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm
- Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm
Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of line P.

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

Answer:
A. The bird watcher followed the south trail a distance of five kilometers in 45 minutes.
Answer:
Vi = 8.28 m/s
Explanation:
This problem is related to the projectile motion.
As we know there are two components of motion associated with this, the horizontal component and vertical component.
The horizontal distance covered by the ball is
Vx*t = x
Vx*t = 5.3
Vx = 5.3/t eq. 1
Also we know that
Vx = Vicos(60)
Vx = Vi*0.5 eq. 2
equate eq. 1 and eq. 2
5.3/t = Vi*0.5
5.3/0.5 = Vi*t
Vi*t = 10.6 eq. 3
The vertical distance is
Vy = y1 + Vyi*t - 0.5gt²
also we know that
Vyi = Visin(60)
Vyi = Vi*0.866
It is given that V1 = 1.9 m and and Vy = 3 m is the vertical distance
3 = 1.9 + Vi*0.866*t - 0.5gt²
3 = 1.9 + Vi*0.866*t - 0.5(9.8)t²
3 = 1.9 + 0.866(Vi*t) - 0.5(9.8)t²
3 = 1.9 + 0.866(Vi*t) - 0.5(9.8)t²
1.1 = 0.866(Vi*t) - 4.9t²
0.866(Vi*t) = 4.9t² + 1.1
substitute Vi*t = 10.6 in above equation
0.866(10.6) = 4.9t² + 1.1
9.18 = 4.9t² + 1.1
4.9t² = 8.08
t² = 8.08/4.9
t² = 1.648
t = 1.28 sec
Finally, initial speed can be found by substituting the value of t into eq. 3
Vi*t = 10.6
Vi = 10.6/t
Vi = 10.6/1.28
Vi = 8.28 m/s
Answer:
a)3.5s
b)28.57m/S
c)34.33m/S
d)44.66m/S
Explanation:
Hello!
we will solve this exercise numeral by numeral
a) to find the time the ball takes in the air we must consider that vertically the ball experiences a movement with constant acceleration whose value is gravity (9.81m / S ^ 2), that the initial vertical velocity is zero, we use the following equation for a body that moves with constant acceleration

where
Vo = Initial speed
=0
T = time
g=gravity=9.81m/s^2
y = height=60m
solving for time

T=3.5s
b)The horizontal speed remains constant since there is no horizontal acceleration.
with the value of the distance traveled (100m) and the time that lasts in the air (3.5s) we estimate the horizontal speed

c)
to find the final vertical velocity we use the equations for motion with constant velocity as follows
Vf=Vo+g.t
Vf=0+(9.81 )(3.5)=34.335m/S
d)Finally, to find the resulting velocity, we add the horizontal and vertical velocities vectorially, this is achieved by finding the square root of the sum of its squares
