A 100-meter sprint is a race using only the straight side of a racetrack. A 400-meter sprint is a race that makes one complete l

ap around a racetrack. Why are velocity and speed the same for a 100-m sprint but not a 400-m sprint?

On edgentiy the answer is. In the 100-m sprint, the displacement is 100 meters and the distance is 100 meters. This means speed and velocity are the same for the 100-m sprint. In the 400-m sprint, the distance is 400-m, but the runners stop at the same place they start so the displacement is zero. Zero displacement means zero velocity.

Speed uses distance and velocity uses displacement in its calculation.

For 100 m race, distance = displacement. Hence speed = velocity

For 400m race, distance ≠ displacement. distance = 400m whereas displacement = 0m. Hence speed ≠ velocity

Hey guys, i'm at 10 grade at school i have a physics question about stress tension and young modulus ? Please this is my questio
makvit [3.9K]
Use the eq. of Young modulus Y=(F/A)/(∆l/lo)
dimana ∆l is the elongation of wire, lo is its initial length.
So ∆l = (F/A)lo/Y.
∆l = (1000N/(6.5 × 10^-7 m^2))×(2.5m)/(2.0 × 10^-11 N/m^2)
Use calculator to finish it.

A cell phone uses a 3. 0 V battery. The circuit board it uses needs a 0. 05 A current. What size resistor is needed to generate
Marta_Voda [28]

The value of resistance will be 60 ohms. Resistance is the opposition force offered to the flow of electric current. The ratio of the voltage to the electric current passing through the wire.

<h3>What is a resistor?</h3>

A resistor is a two-terminal passive electrical component that acts as a circuit element by implementing electrical resistance.

Resistors are used to limit current flow, alter signal levels, divide voltages, bias active devices, and complete transmission lines in electronic circuits.

The given data in the problem is;

V is the voltage =  3. 0 V

I is value of electric current=  0. 05 A

R is the resistance=?

According to ohm's law, the potential difference between the two ends of the conductor is equal to the product of electric current and the resistance generated.

So from the ohm law;

V= IR

\rm R = \frac{V}{I} \\\\ \rm R = \frac{3}{0.05} \\\\ \rm R =60 \ ohm

Hence the value of resistance will be 60 ohms.

A car with two people traveling down the road has a mass of 100 kg and a velocity of 5 m/s. The car pulls over and picks up two
Andrej [43]

Answer:

New_momentum = 750 [kg.m/s]

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as

M  = mass* velocity

Original momentum

M_old = 100 Kg * 5 m/s = 500 [kg.m/s]

If the car pulls over and picks up two people. The mass of the car is now 150 kg, but the velocity stays the same.

New momentum

M_new = 150 Kg * 5 m/s = 750 [kg.m/s]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is</u><u> (C) its greater tensile strength </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Elasticity is the property of any material to return to its original shape when it is de-shaped. for example a spring comes to its original shape when it is stretched and then released. so the property that brings the spring back to its original form is called elasticity. On the other hand tensile strength is the maximum stress that a material can withstands before it breaks. Since polymers are also elastic so the greater tensile strength means greater elasticity.
