Compare and contrast speed and velocity

Physics
1 answer:
Alex73 [517]3 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 :)

How long will it take a plane to fly 1256km<br> if it travels 500km/hr?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.51 s</h3>

Explanation:

The time taken can be found by using the formula

t =  \frac{d}{v}  \\

d is the distance

v is the velocity

From the question we have

t =  \frac{1256}{500}  \\  = 2.512

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.51 s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours iscalled a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronoussatellite is
lesantik [10]

Answer:

35870474.30504 m

Explanation:

r = Distance from the surface

T = Time period = 24 h

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Radius of Earth = 6.38\times 10^6\ m

The gravitational force will balance the centripetal force

\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}=m\dfrac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}}

From Kepler's law we have relation

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\dfrac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\dfrac{(24\times 3600)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{4\pi^2}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42250474.30504\ m

Distance from the center of the Earth would be

42250474.30504-6.38\times 10^6=\mathbf{35870474.30504\ m}

When would the temperature and thermal energy of an object differ?
kodGreya [7K]

The difference between temperature and thermal energy is that temperature measures the average kinetic speed of molecule and thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles in a given substance.

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up
