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 :)

A cannon ball fired horizontally from a cliff has a velocity directed at 60 degrees above horizontal when it hits the ground 3.0
Kamila [148]
Since the ball is fired horizontally, the initial y velocity is zero and the time to hit the ground is the same as if the ball was simply dropped from the cliff.  So you can solve the y position function:
-\frac{1}{2}g t^{2}  +  h_{o}=0
giving a height of 44.1m.
The given final velocity vector tells us that the initial x-directed velocity was about 17m/s.

The kinetic energy of a ball with the mass of 0.5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s is what
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

25J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

Mass = m= 0.5kg

Velocity = v = 10m/s

K. E = 1/2 x 0.5 x 10 x 10

K. E = 0.5 x 5 x 10

K. E = 2.5 x 10

K. E = 25 J

The S. I unit of energy is joules with symbol J

A 100.0-kg bakery sign hangs from two thin cables as shown.
harina [27]

Answer:

1. T₁ = 500 N

2. T₂ = 866 N

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for the diagram.

Thus, we can obtain obtained the value of T₁ and T₂ as follow:

1. Determination of T₁

Angle θ = 30

Hypothenus = 100 kg

Opposite = T₁ =?

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 30 = T₁ / 100

Cross multiply

T₁ = 100 × Sine 30

T₁ = 100 × 0.5

T₁ = 50 Kg

Multiply by 10 to express in Newton

T₁ = 50 × 10

T₁ = 500 N

2. Determination of T₂

Angle θ = 60

Hypothenus = 100 kg

Opposite = T₂ = ?

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 60 = T₂ / 100

Cross multiply

T₂ = 100 × Sine 60

T₂ = 100 × 0.8660

T₂ = 86.6 Kg

Multiply by 10 to express in Newton

T₂ = 86.6 × 10

T₂ = 866 N

Which has a greater buoyant force on it, a 35.0-cm3 piece of wood floating with part of its volume above water or a 35.0-cm3 pie
allsm [11]

The iron has, because it's displacing more water than the wood is.
