Compare and contrast speed and velocity

Physics
1 answer:
Alex73 [517]4 years ago

Where speed is distance/time, velocity is displacement/time. 

What this means is that velocity is the length covered in relation to the starting point. 
Speed is just the distance travelled no matter where you began. 

When going around a circular track, you might have a speed value. However, since you get back to the same location at every lap, you have 0 velocity. 

Hope I helped :)

You are presented with several wires made of the same conducting material. The radius and drift speed are given for each wire in
jekas [21]

\begin{array}{ccc}&\text{Radius} & \text{Drift Speed}\\d) & 2 \; r &2.5 \; v\\a) & 3 \; r &1 \; v\\b) & 4 \; r &0.5 \; v\\c) & 1 \; r &5 \; v\\\end{array}

<h3>Explanation</h3>

I = v \cdot A \cdot n \cdot q,

where

  • I is the current;
  • v is the drift speed;
  • A is the cross-section area of the wire,
  • n is the number of charge carrier per unit volume, and
  • q is the charge on each charge carrier.

Area of a circular cross-section:

A = \pi \cdot r^{2},

where

  • r is the radius of the wire.

n and q are the same for all four samples, for they are made out of the same material.

As a result, I of each wire is directly proportional to v \cdot r^{2} where the value of \pi \cdot n \cdot q is constant.

For each of the four wires:

\begin{array}{ccc|c}\\& r & v &I \propto v\cdot r^{2}\\a) & 3 & 1 & 9\\b) & 4 & 0.5 & 8\\c) & 1 & 5 & 5\\d) & 2 & 2.5 & 10\\\end{array}.

How do the four wires rank by their current?

d > a > b > c.

Name TWO WEAKNESSES of the model pictured below
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Here are a few:

1) The orbital radius of these planets is ridiculously small an in no way representative of their actual radii.

2) The planets will only line up like that once every 5200 years, making this very unrepresentative of their usual relations - although this does make their order in distance from the sun.

3) The nebulae, comet, lens flare,  and other junk in the background is incorrect.

4) If this is meant as a representation of the planets, then Pluto should not be there as it is now considered a planetoid.

5) The planets are incorrectly scaled both to each other and to the sun.
