A jogger runs 4.0 km [W] in 0.50 h, then turns and runs 1.0 km [E] in 0.20 h, then 1.5 km [N] in 0.25 h, then 3.0 km [E] in 0.75

h and finally 1.5 km [S] in 0.30 h.  What is the average velocity?

After you draw the displacement vectors you will find the gogger returned to the start location
velocity = (displacement) /  ( t )      >>>>>>>>>>displacement = 0 ( jogger returns to its started point) , t = 0.5 h + 0.2h + 0.25h + 0.75h = 1.7 h
So v = 0/ 1.7 h = 0

This is a sneaky trick question, to help you discover whether you know
one of the differences between velocity and speed.
=======================================
If you make a list of the distances and directions, and ignore the times,
you find these:

4 - west,  (3 + 1) - east . . . . .  zero in the east/west direction

1.5 - north,  1.5 - south . . . . . zero in the north/south direction

This jogger went out, had a nice jog around the neighborhood,and ended up exactly where he started.

Average velocity = (distance between start point and end point) / (time)

IF the question asked for average SPEED, then you would need the total distance, and divide it by the total time.  But it asks for VELOCITY, and <u>that</u> only involves the straight distance between the start point and the end point, regardless of the route taken in between.

The jogger ended up exactly where he started.  The distance between start and end points was zero.  Average velocity is  (zero) / (time) .  And that fraction is going to be <em><u>Zero</u></em>, no matter how long or how short the trip was, and no matter how much time it took.

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2

What is the force of gravity acting on a 1-kg m mass? (g = 9.8 m/s ^ 2)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: Use this F=Ma.

Explanation: So your answer will be

F=1 Kg+9.8 ms-2

So the answer will be

F=9.8N

How'd I do this?

I just used Newton's second law of motion.

I'll also put the derivation just in case.

Applied force α (Not its alpha, proportionality symbol) change in momentum

Δp α p final- p initial

Δp α mv-mu (v=final velocity, u=initial velocity and p=v*m)

or then

F α m(v-u)/t

So, as we know v=final velocity & u= initial velocity and v-u/t =a.

So F α ma, we now remove the proportionality symbol so we'll add a proportionality constant to make the RHS & LHS equal.

So, F=<em>k</em>ma (where k is the proportionality constant)

<em>k</em> is 1 so you can ignore it.

So, our equation becomes F=ma
