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.

Bill leaves his 60 W desk lamp on every day, including weekends, for eight hours. After one month (30 days), how much total ener
maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute !  Hold up !  Hee haw !  Whoa ! 
Excuse me.  That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh

A 6kg sled sliding on an icy surface experiences a 6-N frictional force exerted by the ice and the air resistive force of 0.6 N.
White raven [17]

The net force on the sled is 6.6 N pointing backwards, opposite to the direction it's sliding. That's why it's slowing down, and will eventually stop.

What is the answer? Explain best and I will mark brainliest!
iVinArrow [24]
I would say B because it is near the ocean which can cause a tsunami but also because of the wind coming from the ocean (it might cause hurricanes and lots of storms) I’m not sure though but that’s what I think makes sense. Good Luck!
