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 string under a tension of 36 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 3.6 m at a speed of 16.12 m/s. The str

Answer:

6010.457N

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = a= V²/R

At a radius of 3.6m and velocity of 16.12m/s,

Acceleration is

a = 16.12²/ 3.6 = 72.182 m/s²

Force = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)

36 = m * 72.182

m = 36/72.182

At breaking point

Radius = 0.468 m and Velocity = 75.1 m/s

a = V²/R = 75.1²/0.468

a = 12051.3 m/s

F = Mass(m) * Acceleration (a)

F = m * 12051.3

m = F/ 12051.3

Settings the ratio of mass equal

m = m

=> 36/72.182 = F/12051.3

F = 12051.3 * 36/72.182

F = 6010.457N

What is the average acceleration of a tennis ball that has an initial velocity of 6.0 m/s [E] and a final velocity of 7.3 m/s [W
Marizza181 [45]

Given :

The average acceleration of a tennis ball that has an initial velocity of 6.0 m/s.

and a final velocity of 7.3 m/s.

It is in contact with a tennis racket for 0.094 s

To Find :

The average acceleration of the tennis ball.

Solution :

We know, average acceleration is given by :

a_{avg}=\dfrac{Final \ velocity-Initial\ velocity}{Time\ Taken}\\\\a_{avg}=\dfrac{7.3-6.0}{0.094}\ m/s^2\\\\a_{avg}=13.83\ m/s^2

Therefore, average velocity is given by 13.83 m/s².

Hence, this is the required solution.
