Physics Homework 1. A swimmer is in Lake Lanier practicing a 100 m individual medley event. They swim East 25
m using butterfly, West 25 m using backstroke, East 25 m using breaststroke, and finally West
25 m using freestyle. This event takes them 70 seconds to complete.
T
a. What was the swimmer's average speed?
b. What was the swimmer's average velocity?

Explanation:

a. Average speed = distance / time

= 100 m / 70 s

= 1.43 m/s

b. Average displacement = displacement / time

= 0 m / 70 s

= 0 m/s

Distance is the length of the path traveled.  Displacement is the difference between the final position and initial position.

what is the instantaneous acceleration of

the particle at point b?

0 meters/second?

10 meters/second?

12 meters/second?

velocity imetersisecond

15 meters/second?

20

time (seconds)

answer: 0 meters/second^2

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
