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

A machine that operates a ride at the fair requires 2500 J to lift a 294 N child 5.0 m. What is the efficiency of this machine?

NeX [460]

Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

$W =F*d$

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

$W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\$

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

$efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%$

Assuming there are no accidents or delays, the distance that a car travels down the interstate

Ganezh [65]

Explanation:

The distance that a car travels down the interstate can be calculated with the following formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

(A) Speed of the car, v = 70 miles per hour = 31.29 m/s

Time, d = 6 hours = 21600 s

Distance = Speed x Time

D = 31.29 m/s × 21600 s

D = 675864 meters

$D=6.75\times 10^5\ m$

(b) Time, d = 10 hours = 36000 s

Distance = Speed x Time

D = 31.29 m/s × 36000 s

D = 1126440 meters

$D=1.12\times 10^6\ m$

(c) Time, d = 15 hours = 54000 s

Distance = Speed x Time

D = 31.29 m/s × 54000 s

D = 1689660 meters

$D=1.68\times 10^6\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
