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

Assume that at sea-level the air pressure is 1.0 atm and the air density is 1.3 kg/m3.

scoundrel [369]

Answer

Pressure, P = 1 atm

air density, ρ = 1.3 kg/m³

a) height of the atmosphere when the density is constant

Pressure at sea level = 1 atm = 101300 Pa

we know

P = ρ g h

$h = \dfrac{P}{\rho\ g}$

$h = \dfrac{101300}{1.3\times 9.8}$

h = 7951.33 m

height of the atmosphere will be equal to 7951.33 m

b) when air density decreased linearly to zero.

at x = 0 air density = 0

at x= h ρ_l = ρ_sl

assuming density is zero at x - distance

$\rho_x = \dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times x$

now, Pressure at depth x

$dP = \rho_x g dx$

$dP = \dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times x g dx$

integrating both side

$P = g\dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times \int_0^h x dx$

$P =\dfrac{\rho_{sl}\times g h}{2}$

now,

$h=\dfrac{2P}{\rho_{sl}\times g}$

$h=\dfrac{2\times 101300}{1.3\times 9.8}$

h = 15902.67 m

height of the atmosphere is equal to 15902.67 m.

One end of a string is fixed. An object attached to the other end moves on a horizontal plane with uniform circular motion of ra

Answer:

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

Explanation:

The radial acceleration ( $a_{r}$ ), measured in meters per square second, experimented by the moving end of the string is determined by the following kinematic formula:

$a_{r} = 4\pi^{2}\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (1)

Where:

$f$ - Frequency, measured in hertz.

$R$ - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

From Second Newton's Law, the centripetal acceleration is due to the existence of tension ( $T$ ), measured in newtons, through the string, then we derive the following model:

$\Sigma F = T = m\cdot a_{r}$ (2)

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

By applying (1) in (2), we have the following formula:

$T = 4\pi^{2}\cdot m\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (3)

From where we conclude that tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency. Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left(\frac{f_{2}}{f_{1}} \right)^{2}\cdot \left(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} \right)$ (4)
