Consider a swimmer that swims a complete round-trip lap of a 50 m long pool in 100 seconds. The swimmer's... average speed is 0 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s. average speed is 0.5 m/s and average velocity is 0.5 m/s. average speed is 1 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s. average speed is 0 m/s and average velocity is 1 m/s. What is the swimmers average speed and average velocity?

Answer from: abelxoconda

Average speed is 1 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s.

The average speed is defined as the ratio of distance to time. Speed is a scalar quantity hence it does not take direction into account while velocity is a vector quantity hence it takes direction into account.

The speed is obtained from;

Speed = Distance/time = 2(50 m)/100 s = 1 m/s.

The velocity is 0 m/s since it is complete round-trip lap.

Answer from: lyn36

average speed is 1 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that :

Length of round trip = 50 m

Time taken = 100 seconds

The average speed :

Total distance / total time taken

Length of complete round trip :

(50 + 50) m, total. Distance = 100 m

100 / 100 = 1m/s

The average velocity :

Total Displacement / total time taken

Total Displacement of round trip = end point - start point = 0

0 / 100 = 0

Answer from: Quest

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

current and voltage can both be different in different parts of a circuit so it matters where you place the ammeter and voltmete
