Velocity is a speed and the direction in which it's speeding.
The main difference between speed and velocity is direction.

B. Direction
Velocity of a body involves magnitude and direction. So it would be meaningless to describe velocity without direction. It's a vector quantity
Speed of a body is the distance covered by it in unit time. It only involves magnitude of a body. It's a scalar quantity.

nekit [7.7K]

There is one mistake in the question as unit of height of building is not given.So I assume it as meter.The complete question is here

You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor’s head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.  

Answer:

d=3.67 m

Explanation:

Height of building=46.0 m

First we need to find time taken by egg to reach 1.80 m above the surface

So to find time use below equation

S=vt+\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}\\ (46.0-1.80)m=(om/s)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{(46.0-1.80)m}{4.9} }\\ t=3.06s

As velocity 1.20m/s is given and we have find time.So we can easily find the distance

So

distance=velocity*time\\d=v*t\\d=(1.20m/s)*(3.06s)\\d=3.67m

Fill in the blank. When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences __________.
Helga [31]

Answer:

When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences <u><em>spring</em></u>

Explanation:

When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences <u><em>spring</em></u>

This is due to the equinoxes.  An equinox is an event that occurs twice a year. During these seasons all areas of the Earth's surface experience an equal amount of daylight and darkness. The sun is on the equator line, so the day and night in both hemispheres have the same duration. At that time the part of the Earth closest to the Sun is the equator.

The shape of the Earth means that while the spring equinox is experienced in the northern hemisphere, the autumn equinox is entered in the southern hemisphere.

Sort the items based on whether they are simple machines or compound machines.
Tom [10]

Answer:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

Explanation:

Simple machine is the simplest device to use mechanical advantages. It has simplest mechanism to multiply the magnitude of force.

So, pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow are the example of simple machine because their mechanism is simplest.

Compound machine is a device that is made up of more than one simple machine.

so, sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane are example of compound machine because these devices shows more than one machine in it.

Thus, classification is as follows:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

A machine lifts a 44,760 newton crate 2 meters into the air in 10 seconds. How many horsepower does the machine
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

<u>8952 W</u>

Explanation:

<u>Given</u> :

  • Force = 44,760 Newtons
  • Displacement = 2 meters
  • Time taken = 10 seconds

<u>Equation</u>

  • Power = Work / Time
  • Power = Force x Displacement / Time

<u>Solving</u> :

  • P = 44760 x 2 / 10
  • P = 4476 x 2
  • P = <u>8952 W</u>
