When comparing the velocities of the trolleys in a collision scenario, using the distances traveled is acceptable because velocity is a vector quantity that accounts for both speed and direction. By measuring the distances traveled by the trolleys, we can determine how fast and in what direction each trolley was moving, providing a valid basis for assessing their velocities.

What is the Customary Measurement System used in England?

There is no system in England! It is a muddle of the old Imperial system in parallel with the metric system. Petrol is bought in litres but distances travelled in cars is measured in miles! Beer in cans is sold in metric units (usually) but in pints in bars and restaurants. and it goes on.


When a person drives for several hours how does the distance traveled in one hour usually compare with the distance traveled in other hours?

The distance travelled in any one hour is likely to be normally distributed with the mean equal to the mean distance travelled in the other hours and the standard error of this estimate will be the standard error of the distances travelled in the other hours.

What meaning is speed?

Speed is the measurement of distance travelled over a certain time period. For instance, a speed of 60 MPH (miles per hour) means that in 1 hour, if travelling at a constant speed, you would have travelled 60 miles.

What is the total distance travelled?

To determine the total distance traveled, you need to sum up all the individual distances covered during a journey or activity. This includes any segments of travel, whether by foot, vehicle, or other means. If you have specific distances or segments in mind, please provide those for a precise calculation. Otherwise, the total distance is simply the aggregate of all distances measured.


Speed of an object?

The speed of an object is the measure of the the distance travelled over time. It is measured in m/s. It is a scalar quantity,meaning that the direction of the distances donnot account for the value of the speed. S = d/t


What fruit travelled the farthest?

The coconut is known for traveling long distances by floating across oceans. The coconut seed is buoyant and can survive for up to 120 days at sea, allowing it to be dispersed to far-flung locations.


Two golfers each hit a ball at the same speed only one with a horizontal angle of 60degrees and one at 30degrees which ball goes farther?

The balls go the same distance. The ratio of the distances travelled is Sin30Cos30/Sin60Cos60. Since Sin30=Cos 60, and Cos30=Sin60, the ratio is 1; hence, the distances are the same.
