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 .

A 3.2-kg thin, circular hoop with a radius of 5.4 m is rotating about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Torque = –207.4 Nm

Explanation:

Given M = 3.2kg, r = 5.4m, α = –12rad/s² (it is slowing down)

Torque = I × α

α = angular acceleration

I = moment of inertia

I = MR² for a circular hoop

Torque = 3.2×5.4×(– 12)

Torque = –207.4 Nm

Three forces act on an object. Two of the forces are at an angle of 100◦to each other and have magnitude 25N and 12N. The third
seraphim [82]

Answer:

F₄ = 29.819 N

Explanation:

Given

F₁ = (- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N

F₂ = (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N

F₃ = (0 i + 0 j + 4 k) N

Then we have

F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ = 0

⇒   F₄ = - (F₁ + F₂ + F₃)

⇒   F₄ = - ((- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j) N + (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j) N + (4 k) N) = (13*Cos 50° i - 37*Sin 50° j - 4 k) N

The magnitude of the force will be

F₄ = √((13*Cos 50°)² + (- 37*Sin 50°)² + (- 4)²) N = 29.819 N

An object has a height of 0.066 m and is held 0.210 m in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 0.140 m. (Include the
Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Size of object, h = 0.066 m

Object distance from the lens, u = 0.210 m (negative)

Focal length of the converging lens, f = 0.14 m

If v is the image distance from the lens, we can find it using lens formula as follows :

\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{0.14 }+\dfrac{1}{(-0.21)}\\\\v=0.42\ m

(a) Magnification,

m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{0.42}{(-0.21)}\\\\m=-2

(b) Magnification, m=\dfrac{h'}{h}

h' is image height

-2=\dfrac{h'}{0.066}\\\\h'=-2\times 0.066\\\\h'=-0.132\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A uniform string of length 0.50 m is fixed at both ends. Find the
kozerog [31]

Answer:

configuration of string:

Node - Antinode - Node    or N-A-N

This is 1/2 wavelength since a full wavelength is N-A-N-A-N

f (fundamental) = V / wavelength

F0 = 300 m/s / 1 m = 100 / sec

F1 = 300 m/s / .5 m = 600 / sec

Each increase is a multiple of the fundamental since the wavelength

increases by 1/2 wavelength to keep nodes at both ends of the string
