Whats the difference between speed and velocity of an object

Physics
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago
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

A silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200°C to 100°C. What will be the length of the bar after
Delicious77 [7]
\Delta L=  \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248

An airplane flies with a velocity of 750. kilometers
viktelen [127]

Answer:

650 km/hr

Explanation:

Draw a right triangle from (0.0) (Point A) down 30 degrees and to the right for a length of 750 (Point B).  Then draw a line from B up to the x axis to make a right angle (Point C).  Use the cosine function to find line AC, the vector portion of AB that lies of the x (East) axis.  Cosine(30)= Adjacent/Hypotenuse.

Cos(30) = AC/750

750*(cos(30)) = AC

AC = 649.5 km/hr
