Answer:

A.Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

TRUE

Speed is the ratio of distance and time while velocity is the ratio of displacement and time

B.Speed and velocity are both scalar quantities.

FALSE

velocity is a vector quantity and it is ratio of displacement and time

C.Speed and velocity are both vector quantities.

FALSE

Speed is not a vector quantity but it is a scalar quantity

D.Speed is a vector quantity and velocity is a scalar quantity.

FALSE

Speed is scalar as it depends on distance while velocity is a vector which depends on displacement

E.Speed and velocity are neither a scalar quantity nor a vector quantity.

FALSE

Speed is scalar while velocity is vector

A 1.0-kg block moving to the right at speed 3.0 m/s collides with an identical block also moving to the right at a speed 1.0 m/s

____ [38]

Answer:

Speed of both blocks after collision is 2 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both blocks, m₁ = m₂ = 1 kg

Velocity of first block, u₁ = 3 m/s

Velocity of other block, u₂ = 1 m/s

Since, both blocks stick after collision. So, it is a case of inelastic collision. The momentum remains conserved while the kinetic energy energy gets reduced after the collision. Let v is the common velocity of both blocks. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$v=\dfrac{1\ kg\times 3\ m/s+1\ kg\times 1\ m/s}{2\ kg}$

v = 2 m/s

Hence, their speed after collision is 2 m/s.

A monkey (mass m) is swinging on a vine of length L while carrying a bunch of bananas (a large bunch, mass m/2). His swinging mo

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

The period of oscillation will remain unchanged because the period of oscillation of a pendulum does not depend upon the mass of the bob . Here monkey along with bunch of banana represents bob .

When the monkey and banana were at height h /2 , they have potential energy as well as kinetic energy . banana is separated from the system . It carried its total energy along with it . But the energy of monkey remained intact with it . So it will keep on moving as usual . So it will attain the same maximum height as before .

Hence the amplitude of oscillation too will remain unchanged .
