Asprinter runs 50m. you are given a stopwatch. describe how you would measure: 1. the average speed of the sprinter over the entire 50m
2. the instantaneous speed of the sprinter when he crosses the finish line

Explanation:

Distance = 50 m

1. To find the average speed, first start the stop watch as the sprinter starts running and then stop it when he reaches the finish line.

Now note the time taken by the sprinter to run for 50 m.

The average speed of the sprinter is defined as the ratio of total distance covered to the total time taken.

Average speed = total distance / total time

2. To find the instantaneous speed, check the seed of the sprinter as he is at the finish line.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
