Answer:

A. Velocity

Explanation:

Velocity is vector quantity thus has both magnitude and direction. It describes not only the speed but also the direction. Speed is scalar quantity so describes only speed but not direction. Energy has nothing to do with speed, acceleration describes change in velocity in a direction over time

Velocity

It can also be defined as the rate of change in object position concerning a frame of reference and time.

At what speed would a 3.00 x 10^4 kg airplane have to fly and with a momentum of 1.60 x 10^9 kg.m/s

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

5.3×10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Momentum = mass× velocity

M = mV................ Equation 1

Where M = momentum of the airplane, m = mass of the airplane, V = Velocity of the airplane

make V the subject of the equation

V = M/m.................. Equation 2

Given: M = 1.6×10⁹ Kg.m/s, m = 3.0×10⁴ kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = 1.6×10⁹/3.0×10⁴

V = 5.3×10⁴ m/s

A rock is thrown vertically upward from some height above the ground. It rises to some maximum height and falls back to the grou

True [87]

Answer:

At the highest point the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward.

Explanation:

This is a free-fall problem, in the case of something being thrown or dropped, the acceleration is equal to -gravity, so -9.80m/s^2. So, the acceleration is never 0 here.

I attached an image from my lecture today, I find it to be helpful. You can see that because of gravity the acceleration is pulled downwards.

At the highest point the velocity is 0, but it's changing direction and that's why there's still an acceleration there.

"The total distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel the distance"

That's actually a pretty good definition of average speed. <em>(A)</em>
