Answer :

Answer:

The answers to the questions asked are

question 1 : false

question 2: True

question 3: 17 meters

question 4: 2 meters

question 5: she did not do anything wrong

question 6: 28 mph

question 7: 12 mph

question 8: 0.27 m/s

question 9: True

question 10: false

Explanation:

question 1: speed is the total distance covered by an object over a given time regardless of the direction of the distance hence when reporting we report only the value and unit of the speed which ( km/h )or ( m/s )

question 2: velocity is change in distance covered by an object ( on a straight line) also known as displacement. over a given time by the object hence the direction of the object is considered

question 3: to calculate for distance traveled by an object you have to sum up the total distance traveled by the object on a straight line i.e ( 10 + 7 ) = 17 meters

question 4: displacement is change in distance traveled by an object on a straight line in opposite direction i.e ( 7 - 5 ) = 2 meters

question 5: displacement is change in distance traveled on a straight line in opposite direction hence her answer was correct i.e ( 13 - 10) = 3 meters

question 6: speed = distance/time equation 1

distance = 5 + 2 = 7 miles

time = 1/4 hour = 0.25 hour

equation 1 becomes

speed = 7/0.25 = 28 mph

question 7: Average velocity = displacement/time equation 1

displacement = 5 - 2 = 3 miles

time = 1/4 = 0.25 hour

equation 1 becomes

average velocity = 3/0.25 = 12 mph

question 8: Average speed = total distance / total time equation 1

total distance = 0.75 + 0.75 + 0.75 = 2.25 meters

this is considered the total distance because for each trial she covered ramp which was 0.75 meters

total time = 2.5 + 2.75 + 2.98 = 8.23 seconds

equation 1 becomes

average speed = 2.25 / 8.23 = 0.27 m/s

question 9: It is true because precise is a data that is repeated over and over which might not actually be the actual/correct value while accurate is the data that is closest to the known value

question 10: from the definition in question 9 above the answer is false
