A dolphin maintains a constant speed of 2.0 m/s for 24 s while swimming in a straight line. It then reverses direction and returns to its starting point in 8 s. Its average speed and average velocity for the entire trip are

Explanation:

In this problem, we are going to solve for the average speed and average velocity for the entrire trip made by the dolphin.

Given data

speed v= 2 m/s

time t= 24s

the distance travelled by the dolphin is

speed= distance/time

distance= speed*time

distance= 2*24

distance= 48m

now the dolpine made a reverse and covered this 48m in 8s to return to it initial position

the speed it took is

speed= distance/time

speed= 48/8

speed= 6m/s

It average speed is the total distance divided by the total time taken

average speed= (48+48)/(24+8)= 96/32= 3m/s

average speed= 3 m/s

it average velocity is the sum of the initial and final velocity is divided by 2 to find the average

(2+6)/2= 8/2= 4m/s

average velocity is 4m/s

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
