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....

A 0.50-kg bomb is sliding along an icy pond (frictionless surface) with a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the west. The bomb explodes int
nevsk [136]

Answer:

2.667m/s to the north and 3.333 m/s to the west

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the total momentum should be conserved before and after the explosion.

Before the explosion, the momentum was

0.5*2 = 1 kg m/s to the west

Therefore the total momentum after the explosion should be the same horizontally and vertically.

Vertically speaking, it was 0 before the explosion. After the explosion:

0.2*4 + 0.3v = 0

0.3v = -0.8

v = -0.8/0.3 = -2.667 m/s

So the vertical component of the 0.3kg piece is 2.667m/s to the north

Horizontally speaking, since the 0.2kg-piece doesn't move west or east post-explosion:

0.2*0 + 0.3V = 1

0.3V = 1

V = 1/0.3 = 3.333 m/s

So the horizontal component of the 0.3kg piece is 3.333 m/s to the west

Which statement correctly defines power?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Power=V\, I which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"

Explanation:

The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.

Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:

Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I

Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.

This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".
