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.

<span>First blank: B) Cutting down trees instead of growing trees
Cutting down trees means less plants that are photosynthesizing and consuming CO2 from the atmosphere.

Second blank: </span><span>D) Using clean energy sources instead of fossil fuels
Clean energy sources have little to no CO2 emissions. On the other hand, fossil fuels, when burned/combusted release large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.</span>

People living at Earth’s equator are traveling at a constant speed of about 1,670 km/h as Earth spins on its axis. What are thes
Vlada [557]
The people living around the equator experience acceleration. Acceleration is the change in speed or/and direction. When on a rotating body, the speed does not change it is only the direction that changes as it rotates.When on a rotating body you do not have to change speed but only direction. In a normal situation when you are traveling on a circle you will never have a straight line.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

for this answer it obtained 50% of its value

Explanation:

The correction factor for multiple choice question is

           .f = 1 / (n + 1)

Where n is the number of incorrect answers

Let's apply this expression to our case

An incorrect answer was given, so n = 1

         .f = 1 / (1 + 1)

         .f = 1/2 = 0.5

Therefore, for this answer it obtained 50% of its value
