What does it mean tha velocity is vector quantity

1 answer:

7 0

It means that velocity not only has a size, but it also has a direction.

Some other vector quantities are force and acceleration.
They have sizes and directions.

Temperature, cost, and weight are quantities with only size and no direction.
Those are called "scalar" quantities.

A helicopter starting on the ground is rising directly into the air at a rate of 25 ft/s. You are running on the ground starting

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is $\sqrt{725}$ ft/ sec

Explanation:

Given:

h(t) = 25 ft/sec

x(t) = 10 ft/ sec

h(5) = 25 ft/sec . 5 = 125 ft

x(5) = 10 ft/sec . 5 = 50 ft

Now we can calculate the distance between the person and the helicopter by using the Pythagorean theorem

$D(t) = \sqrt{h^2 + x^2}$

Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time

$\frac{dD}{dt} (t) = \frac{2h \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} +2x \cdot\frac{dx}{dt}} {2\sqrt{h^2 + x^2}}$

Substituting the values of h(t) and x(t) and simplifying we get,

$\frac{dD}{dt}(t) = \frac{50t \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} + 20 \cdot \frac{dx}dt}{2\sqrt{625\cdot t^2 + 100 \cdot t^2}}$

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 25ft/sec$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/sec$

$\frac{Dd}{dt} (t) = \frac{1250t +200t}{2\sqrt{725}t}$ = $\frac{725}{\sqrt{725}}$ = $\sqrt{725}$ ft / sec

Statement A: Area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

pochemuha

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the area of a rectangle A = Length *width

For statement A;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²

The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)

For statement B;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²

Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)

Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm² is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.

A certain spring has a spring constant k1 = 660 N/m as the spring is stretched from x = 0 to x1 = 35 cm. The spring constant the

pantera1 [17]

(a) The equation for the work done in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is ¹/₂K₂Δx².

(b) The work done, in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is 11.25 J.

<h3>Work done in the spring</h3>

The work done in stretching the spring is calculated as follows;

W = ¹/₂kx²

W(1 to 2) = ¹/₂K₂Δx²

W(1 to 2) = ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)²

W(1 to 2) = 11.25 J

W(0 to 3) = ¹/₂k₁x₁² + ¹/₂k₂x₂² + ¹/₂F₃x₃

W(0 to 3) = ¹/₂(660)(0.35)² + ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)² + ¹/₂(105)(0.89 - 0.65)

W(0 to 3) = 64.28 J
