How is speed represented on a speedometer ? how is acceleration represented?

1 answer:

8 0

Speed is scalar quantity that is defined only by its magnitude and is represented with one value.
Velocity on the other side is a vector quantity that is defined with its magnitude and direction. The speedometer measures and displays the speed of the vehicle.
Where the needle points on the speedometer that is the speed of the vehicle.
The velocity is not explicitly shown, but if f the needle is moving<span>, you can get a rough idea of acceleration. If the needle is going clockwise the vehicle is accelerating.</span>

Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant velocity of 75.0 m/s. 25.0 east of north, and 100.0 m/s, 25.0 east of sou

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

77.35 m / s

Ф = -17° from + X axis or 343° from + X axis

Explanation:

v1 = 75 m/s 25° east of north

v2 = 100 m/s 25° east of south

Write the velocities in vector form ,we get

$\overrightarrow{v_{1}}=75\left ( Sin25\widehat{i} +Cos25\widehat{j}\right )=31.7\widehat{i}+67.97\widehat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{v_{1}}=100\left ( Sin25\widehat{i} -Cos25\widehat{j}\right )=42.26\widehat{i}-90.63\widehat{j}$

Now add the velocity vectors to get the resultant of the velocities.

$\overrightarrow{v}=\overrightarrow{v_{1}}+\overrightarrow{v_{2}}$

$\overrightarrow{v}=\left (31.7+42.26 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 67.97- 90.63 \right )\widehat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{v}=73.96\widehat{i}-22.66\widehat{j}$

magnitude of resultant velocity is $\sqrt{\left ( 73.96 \right )^{2}+\left ( -22.66 \right )^{2}}$

= 77.35 m / s

The direction is Ф from X axis

$tan\phi =\frac{-22.66}{73.96}=-0.306$

Ф = -17° from + X axis or 343° from + X axis

A large box sits on a rough floor. A person pushes on the box with a horizontal force of magnitude 50 N. The box remains at rest

artcher [175]

Answer:

The magnitude of the frictional force is $F_f \ge 50 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The force exerted on the box is $F = 50 \ N$

Generally for the box to remain at rest then it means that the frictional force is greater than or equal to the force applied to move it i.e

$F_f \ge F$

=> $F_f \ge 50 \ N$

11) Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100 m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a sp

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

100 m

Explanation:

Arthur and Betty should be walking the same amount of time if they start walking at the same time and stop when they meet = t

Speed of Arthur = 3 m/s

Speed of Betty = 2 m/s

Distance = Speed × time

Distance covered by Arthur = 3t

Distance covered by Betty = 2t

The distance covered by both of them will be 100 m

$3t+2t=100\\\Rightarrow 5t=100\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{100}{5}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s$

The speed of dog is 5 m/s

Spot is running back and forth at 5 m/s for 20 seconds

In 20 seconds the distance covered by the dog is

$\mathbf{5\times 20}=\mathbf{100\ m}$
