Can a runner's average speed be different from her average velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Since velocity is a vector, meaning it also relies on direction, the average speed can be different from her average velocity. An example would be if a runner turned around and ran backward after running 10 meters and returned to her starting point. If you took her average velocity of the entire trip it would actually be 0 but her average speed obviously would not be. This is why velocity can be negative but speed cannot.

What is the velocity of a car that travels -50 meters in 5 seconds then 10 meters in 5 seconds
diamong [38]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

The first part of the question the car is going in reverse or negative along the x axis. Then the second part the car is moving forward along the x axis. So the car would only have velocity in the current direction of movement. So our equation for velocity is as follows.

v = d/t

v = 10 m/5 s

v = 2 m/s

Answer:

(A) a heuristic

Explanation:

A heuristic:It is a reasoning strategy to find answers, make judgement about any something."

It is possible to choose between the options given, we have the following interpretation as; Interpretation: "A heuristic: finding answers is a thinking technique, evaluating something." Mechanism: In the heuristic approach the method is to find solutions or answers to a question by choosing the right and optimal compositions.

A mad scientist wants to collect massive amounts of charge on basketball sized aluminum balls. The scientist wants to place 6 C
vitfil [10]

The distance between two basket ball sized aluminium balls is 9714 m.

Explanation:

Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force .

Coulomb's law formula => F = (k * Qb1 * Qb2)/r²

Given data :-

charge on ball 1 Qb1 = 6C

charge on ball 2 Qb2 = 14C

Force exerted F = 8000 N

k =  8.988 x 10^9 Nm²C−²(coulomb's constant).

substituting given values in the coulomb's formula

8000 = (( 8.988 x 10^9)*6*14)/r²

shifting r and 8000 to other sides

r² = (756 * 10^9)/8000

r = 9714 m.

Therefore the distance between two balls is r = 9714 m.
