Why is velocity and not just speed important to these pilots

Physics
1 answer:
Alborosie3 years ago
7 0
Velocity is a vector. Therefore, it depends on the direction. Pilots need to know the direction of wind, not just the speed. If the pilot is going South, and there's 5 mph wind going South, they'll be happy, but if the wind is going 5 mph North, they'll be going against the wind.

What happens when the fuel in a car engine combustion?​
Trava [24]

In a spark ignition engine, the fuel is mixed with air and then inducted into the cylinder during the intake process. After the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion. The expansion of the combustion gases pushes the piston during the power stroke.

A particle moving on a circle has a velocity of 5 m/s and a normal acceleration of 10 m/s^2. What is the radius of the circle?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

Explanation:

We have given velocity of particle moving in the circle v = 5 m/sec

Acceleration of particle in the circle a=10m/sec^2

We have to find the radius of the circle

We know that acceleration is given by a=\frac{v^2}{r}

So 10=\frac{5^2}{r}

r=\frac{25}{10}=2.5m

So radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

A 5.00 kilogram block slides along a horizontal,frictionless surface at 10.0 meters per second. for 4.00 seconds. The magnitude
finlep [7]
In this question a lot of information's are provided. Among the information's provided one information and that is the time of 4 seconds is not required for calculating the answer. Only the other information's are required.
Mass of the block that is sliding = 5.00 kg
Distance for which the block slides = 10 meters/second
Then we already know that
Momentum = Mass * Distance travelled
                   = (5 * 10) Kg m/s
                   = 50 kg m/s
So the magnitude of the blocks momentum is 50 kg m/s. The correct option among all the given options is option "b".

A 50.0-g Super Ball traveling at 25.0 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 22.0 m/s. A
Setler [38]

Explanation:

Average acceleration is change in velocity over time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (22.0 m/s − (-25.0 m/s)) / 0.00350 s

a = 13,400 m/s²
