The probability ("odds") is smaller for nonsmokers when compared
to smokers.
If we had as much hard, reliable, repeatable, scientific evidence linking
cardiovascular disease with visits to the Empire State Building as we have
linking it with smoking, the Empire State Building would have been torn down
50 years ago.
Average velocity = (displacement) / (total time)
Displacement = distance and direction between
the starting point and the end point
The car travels 90 meters north, then 40 meters south.
So it ends up 50 meters north of where it began.
Displacement = 50 meters north
Total time = (15 + 5) = 20 seconds
Average velocity = (50 meters north) / (20 seconds)
= 2.5 m/s north
Kinetic energy is energy of motion while temperature is a measure of that energy in substances.
Transverse waves. Direction of vibration of the particles is at right angles to direction of movement.
