Velocity is a speed AND its direction.


30 mph south

30 mph east


These are the same speed but different velocities.

The short answer is that velocity is the speed with a direction, while speed does not have a direction. Speed is a scalar quantity it is the magnitude of the velocity. Speed is measured in units of distance divided by time, e.g. miles per hour, feet per second, meters per second, etc....

How long does it take the lava bomb to reach its maximum height? Answer with three significant digits and the correct unit. A sm
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The time taken to reach the maximum height is 3.20 seconds

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial height from which the volcano erupts the lava bomb = 64.4 m

The initial upward velocity of the lava bomb = 31.4 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The time it takes the lava bomb to reach its maximum height, t, is given by the following kinematic equation as follows;

v = u - g·t

Where;

v = The final velocity  = 0 m/s at maximum height

u = The initial velocity = 31.4 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to reach the maximum height

Substituting the values gives;

0 = 31.4 - 9.8 × t

∴ 31.4 = 9.8 × t

t = 31.4/9.8  ≈ 3.204

The time taken to reach the maximum height rounded to three significant figures = t ≈ 3.20 seconds

uniform ladder of length 6.0 m and weight 300 N leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The foot of the ladder isplaced 3.0
olganol [36]

Answer:

Fx1 (6 m) sin 60 = 300 (3 m) cos 60  balancing torques about floor

Fx1 = 900 * 1/2 / 5.20 = 86.6 N  this is the horizontal force that must be supplied by the wall to balance torques about the floor

This is also equal to the static force of friction that must be applied at the point of contact with the floor to balance forces in the x-direction.

Fx1 = Fx2 = 86.6 N

Why does static friction have a maximum value​
Naddik [55]

Answer:

If you push horizontally with a small force, static friction establishes an equal and opposite force that keeps the book at rest. As you push harder, the static friction force increases to match the force. Eventually maximum static friction force is exceeded and the book moves.
