How are speed and velocity different?

2 answers:

7 0

Basically velocity is a vector quantity and is specified in m/s (meters/second). Speed is the distance traveled by an object where as, velocity is distance traveled by an object per unit time in a particular direction. Speed is a scalar quantity where as velocity is a vector quantity

Velocity tells you how fast and gives a direction. Speed only tells how fast.

What is the slope of the line if the rise of a line on a distance versus-time graph is 900 meters and the run is 3 minutes?

Alexandra [31]

600/3 = 200
the slope is 200m/min

OR

600/ (3/60) =
600 x 60/3 =
600 x 20 = 12,000 meters per hour

The energy of a photon of light is __________ proportional to its frequency and __________ proportional to its wavelength.

icang [17]

Answer:

D) directly, inversely

Explanation:

The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.

Frequency is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time.

Wavelength is the is the distance between successive crests or troughs on a wave.

Mathematically, frequency is related to wavelength and velocity using;

Energy = h x f

where h is the Planck's constant

f is the frequency

Since c = f ∧

where f is the frequency of the wave

∧ is the wavelength of the wave

c is the speed of light

So;

f = c/∧

Therefore;

E = $\frac{h c}{wavelength}$

From the equation, we see an inverse relationship between E and wavelength and a direct one with frequency.

Particles q1 = -53.0 uc, q2 = +105 uc, and

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

$-180.38\ \text{N}$

Explanation:

$q_1=-53\ \mu\text{C}$

$q_2=105\ \mu\text{C}$

$q_3=-88\ \mu\text{C}$

r = Distance between the charges

$r_{12}=0.5\ \text{m}$

$r_{23}=0.95\ \text{m}$

$r_{13}=1.45\ \text{m}$

k = Coulomb constant = $9\times 10^9\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{C}^2$

Net force is given by

$F=F_{12}+F_{13}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r_{12}^2}+\dfrac{kq_1q_3}{r_{13}^2}\\\Rightarrow F=kq_1(\dfrac{q_2}{r_{12}^2}+\dfrac{q_3}{r_{13}^2})\\\Rightarrow F=9\times 10^9\times (-53\times 10^{-6})(\dfrac{105\times 10^{-6}}{0.5^2}+\dfrac{-88\times 10^{-6}}{1.45^2})\\\Rightarrow F=-180.38\ \text{N}$

The force on the particle $q_1$ is $-180.38\ \text{N}$ .
