Whats the difference between speed and velocity of an object

1 answer:

4 0

The difference between speed and velocity is that the speed is a scalar quantity which means that you can say that this object has a speed of x m/s but you don't have to define its direction
while the velocity is a vector quantity which means that you have to express the velocity by which it moves in x,y and z directions and its norm is the speed

An unknown charged particle passes without deflection through crossed electric and magnetic fields of strengths 187,500 V/m and

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The electric fields of strengths E = 187,500 V/m and

and The magnetic fields of strengths B = 0.1250 T

The diameter d is 25.05 cm which is converted to 0.2505m

The radius is (d/2)

= 0.2505m / 2 = 0.12525m

The given formula to find the magnetic force is $F_{ma}=BqV---(i)$

The given formula to find the electric force is $F_{el}=qE---(ii)$

The velocity of electric field and magnetic field is said to be perpendicular

Electric field is equal to magnectic field

Equate equation (i) and equation (ii)

$Bqv=qE\\\\v=\frac{E}{B}$

$v=\frac{187500}{0.125} \\\\v=15\times10^5m/s$

It is said that the particles moves in semi circle, so we are going to consider using centripetal force

$F_{ce}=\frac{mv^2}{r}---(iii)$

magnectic field is equal to centripetal force

Lets equate equation (i) and (iii)

$Bqr=\frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\\frac{q}{m}=\frac{v}{Br} \\\\\frac{q}{m} =\frac{15\times 10^5}{0.125\times0.12525} \\\\=\frac{15\times10^5}{0.015656} \\\\=95808383.23\\\\=958.1\times10^5C/kg$

Therefore, the particle's charge-to-mass ratio is $958.1\times10^5C/kg$

To identify the particle

Then 1/ 958.1 × 10⁵ C/kg

The charge to mass ratio is very close to that of a proton, which is about 1*10^8 C/kg

Therefore the particle is proton.

When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?

miss Akunina [59]

From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS. That is, it becomes MORE dense. I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase. That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean. And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible ! Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.

Technician A says that one of advantages of a clutch brake is its ability to bring a vehicle to a halt at low speeds. Technician

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The advantage of using a clutch brake is that it is capable of handling high load torque and ensures safety at high rotational speeds.

The motivation behind a clutch brake is to stop or slow the information shaft from turning, enabling the apparatuses to work without pounding/conflicting. This kills harm to non-synchronized transmissions, and limits the exertion required when moving from impartial into first or switch from a halt.

A woman living in a third-story apartment is moving out. Rather than carrying everything down the stairs, she decides to pack he

Flura [38]

Answer:

T = 480.2N

Explanation:

In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.

The forces on the boxes are:

$T-Mg=0$ (1)

T: tension of the rope

M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.

By using the equation (1) you obtain:

$T=Mg=(49kg)(9.8m/s^2)=480.2N$

The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N

katrin [286]

Answer:

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force equation: F = ma

F = ma -> a = F/m = 2.8*10^3 N / 3.5*10^3 kg = 0.8 m/s^2
