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 :)

Consider the following statements. A. Heat flows from an object at higher temperature to an object at lower temperature; B. Heat
Monica [59]

Answer:

A. Heat flows from an object at higher temperature to an object at lower temperature

Explanation:

The option A obeys the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The heat will flow from the object at higher temperature to the object at Lower temperature till they reach an equilibrial state.

Heat doesn’t necessarily flow from an object with higher thermal energy to an object with lower thermal energy because an object has a higher thermal energy when it’s mass is more than the other. This makes B wrong.

C is wrong because heat moves from an object with higher temperature to objects with Lower temperature regardless of the state of matter.

If two bodies weighing 10 kg and 20 kg respectively are standing at the
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

potential energy = mgh , where m is mass of body , g is acceleration due to gravity and h is given height

since both of the body are at same height above the ground , so the body having greater mass will have more potential energy

that is 20 kg body will have higher P.E
