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 :)

A coaxial cable consists of a solid inner cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm and an outer cylindrical shell of inner radius 3
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

d) 1.2 mT

Explanation:

Here we want to find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 2.5 mm from the axis of the coaxial cable.

First of all, we observe that:

- The internal cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm can be treated as a conductive wire placed at the axis of the cable, since here we are analyzing the field outside the radius of the conductor. The current flowing in this conductor is

I = 15 A

- The external conductor, of radius between 3 mm and 3.5 mm, does not contribute to the field at r = 2.5 mm, since 2.5 mm is situated before the inner shell of the conductor (at 3 mm).

Therefore, the net magnetic field is just given by the internal conductor. The magnetic field produced by a wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I = 15 A is the current in the conductor

r = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m is the distance from the axis at which we want to calculate the field

Substituting, we find:

B=\frac{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7})(15)}{2\pi(0.0025)}=1.2\cdot 10^{-3}T = 1.2 mT

Listed following are three possible models for the long-term expansion (and possible contraction) of the universe in the absence
sineoko [7]

Answer:

From smallest ratio to the largest ratio:

Coasting Universe - Critical Universe - Recollapsing Universe(From left to right)

Explanation:

The coasting universe is one that expands at a constant rate given by the Hubble constant throughout all of cosmic time. It has a ratio of actual density to critical density that is less than 1

The critical universe is one that is at balance with no expansion .I.e. the actual density and the critical density are equal, which makes the ratio of actual density to critical density to be equal to 1

Recollapsing Universe: The expansion of the universe reverses in the future and the universe eventually recollapses. The recollapsing universe has the ratio of the actual density to the critical density to be greater than 1

A current cannot produce a magnetic field. *<br><br> True or false
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False, as a magnetic field is generated whenever current travels through a conductor.

An electromagnet consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a bar of iron. The coil and iron bar get magnetized when electric current flows through the wire. An electromagnet also has north and south magnetic poles. The magnetic field is strongest at either pole of the magnet.

Define linear expansivity
lidiya [134]

Linear expansivity is a type of thermal expansion. It is described by a fraction that represents the fractional increase in length of a thin beam of a material exposed to a temperature increase of one degree Celsius. ... Linear expansivity is used in many real world applications.
