Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
 
Strange as it may seem, 'velocity' is completely different. 

Velocity doesn't involve the total distance traveled at all. 
Instead, 'velocity' is based on 'displacement' ... the distance
between the start-point and end-point, regardless of the route
taken to get there.  So the displacement in driving once around
any closed path is zero, because you end up where you started. 

Velocity =

           (displacement during some time)
divided by
            (time for the displacement)

AND the direction from the start-point to the end-point.


For the guy who drove 15 km to his destination in 10 min, and then
back to his starting point in 5 min, (assuming he returned by way of
the same 15-km route):

         Speed = (15km + 15km) / (10min + 5min)  =  (30/15) (km/min)

                                                                                 =  2 km/min.

        Velocity = (end location - start position) / (15 min)  =  Zero .

the cross section area of a hole is 725cm^2. Given that the area of a circle is A=3.14r^2 , find the radius of the hole.
asambeis [7]
The\ area\ of\ a\ circle\ =  \pi r^2 \\ 725\ cm^2 =  3.14r^2 \\
230.57 cm^2 = r^2 \\ \sqrt{230.57\ cm^2} = r \\ \boxed{r = 15.18\  cm}

How are magnetic poles and electrical charges similar? A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract
melomori [17]

Answer:

A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract each other.

Explanation:

As we know by the property of electric charge that similar charges repel each other and opposite charges attracts each other

So here we have similar situation in magnets also

Two similar poles or like poles of magnet i.e. North - North poles or South - South poles always repel each other

And also we can see that opposite poles of magnet each other i.e. North pole and south pole always attract each other.

SO here correct answer is

A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract each other.

Letters A B, C and D represent locations on a bar magnet. Which location has the greatest magnetic force? (l) A (3) C ets (2) B
Elena L [17]
Answer: The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center. So it would be D.
