Explain the relationship between velocity and acceleration. Are these scalar or vector quantities?

A scalar is something that only has speed without a DIRECTION while a vector has direction. acceleration is a vector and mass is a scalar.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. They're both vectors.

8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott
nasty-shy [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the <u>bottle.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

A Jamaican Bobsled team hits the brakes on their sled so that decelerates at a uniform rate of 0.43 m/s^2. How long does it take
ankoles [38]

Answer:

20.05 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

v² = u² + 2as

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

a = negative acceleration = - 0.43

s = distance = 86.5

v = 0

0 - 2(0.43)(86.5) = u²

74.39 = v²

U = sqrt(74.39)

U = 8.6249

From ;

t = Time in seconds

t = (v - u) / a

t = (0 - 8.6249) / - 0.43

t = 20.057
