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.

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 33.0° above the horizon at 15.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas

Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the soccer ball, m = 0.425 kg

Speed of the ball, u = 15 m/s

Angle with horizontal, $\theta=33^{\circ}$

Time for which the player's foot is in contact with it, $\Delta t = 5.1\times 10^{-2}\ s$

Part A,

The x component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

$\Delta p_x=mv\ cos\theta$

$\Delta p_x=0.425\times 15\ cos(33)$

$p_x=5.34\ kg-m/s$

The y component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

$\Delta p_y=mv\ sin\theta$

$\Delta p_y=0.425\times 15\ sin(33)$

$p_y=3.47\ kg-m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Ruff, the 50 cm tall Labrador Retriever stands 3m from a plane mirror and looks at his image. What is Ruffs image position and h

GaryK [48]

Ruff's image is 50m behind the mirror surface and the image is also 3m tall.

This is because it is a plane mirror.

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, $m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg$

Mass of the truck, $m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg$

Initial velocity of the car, $u_1=22\ m/s$

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2$

$v_2=15.7\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).
