Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.

Suppose that you are swimming in a river while a friend watches from the shore. In calm water, you swim at a speed of 1.25 m/s .

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s

Let $S_{0}$ be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.

Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.

The direction of the swimmer is upstream.

Hence the resultant velocity is given as, $S_{R}$ = S — S 0 $S_{0}$

$S_{R}$ = 1.25 — 1

$S_{R}$ = 0.25 m/s.

Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.

It is epistemically possible that a completed physics might include which of the following propositions? O Souls and other spiri

ohaa [14]

Answer:

option D.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D.

At present the knowledge of physics does not includes the study related to souls , other spiritual substance.

Physics does not give the answers of question like God created universe , matter is unreal, etc.

So, there might will be possibility that in future complete physics will give the answer of all these questions i.e. correct answer is All of the above.
