Which Object Has the Greater Instantaneous Velocity?

AI Thread Summary
Object A maintains a constant velocity of 4 m/s throughout the 5 seconds, while Object B starts at 8 m/s and decreases to 0 m/s by the end of the interval. At 5 seconds, Object A's instantaneous velocity is still 4 m/s. In contrast, Object B's instantaneous velocity at 5 seconds is 0 m/s. Therefore, Object A has the greater instantaneous velocity at that time. The discussion clarifies the concept of instantaneous velocity in relation to the specified time.

A velocity time graph starts from 0-5 s , object A has constant velocity of 4 m/s. Object B has an initial velocity of 8 m/s and constantly decreases and reaches 0 m/s at 5 s. so i need to know what is the instantaneous velocity. Also, which of the object's instantaneous velocity is greater. sorry if this is confusing.

Instantaneous velocity occurs at some specific time. What time are you being asked about?
 
it asks at time 5 which instantaneous velocity is greater

Okay, then what is the velocity of A at 5 s?

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
