Speed and velocity have the same magnitudes. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. In other words, speed is just a magnitude, while velocity is a magnitude with direction. They're essentially the same.
Let's convert miles to meters and minutes to seconds
1/4 mile = 402.34 meters ( 1 mile = 1609 m)
13.1 minutes = 786 seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds)
Speed is calculated as distance over time, thus,
Speed = (402.34 meters)*8/786 seconds
a.) Speed = 4.1 m./s
b.) Velocity = 4.1 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
If F is the applied force and θ is the applied angle from horizontal with positive angle below the horizon
Fnet = Fcosθ - μ(mg + Fsinθ)
The only variable you've actually given us is the friction coefficient.
You'll have to plug your own numbers in.
Remember, if the applied force is acting towards the floor, the normal force is increased as will be the friction force. The net force will decrease.
If the applied force is acting upward, the θ angle will be negative and the normal force is decreased along with the friction force. The net force will increase.
An object is thrown horizontally from the open
window of a building. If the initial speed of the
object is 20 m/s and it hits the ground 2.0 s later,
from what height was it thrown? (Neglect air
resistance and assume the ground is level.)
Initial vertical velocity = 0
formula: s = ut + (1/2)*g*t^2
s = 0 + 1/2*9.8*2^2
s = 9.8*2 = 19.6 m
The change in the gravitational potential energy is represented by the equation
u = ΔPE = Δmgh
since the mass of the system will remain constant and the acceleration due to gravity will also remain constant, the equation will become
u = mg Δh
