Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities

1 answer:

3 0

Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors

Answer:

1500000 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for pressure is force per unit area.

P=F/A where F is force and A is area

Given that ;

F= mass * acceleration due to gravity

F= 60 * 9.81 = 588.6 = 589 N

A= area = 4cm² = 0.0004 m²

P= F/A = 589 / 0.0004

P= 1471500

P=1500000 Pa

A playground merry-go-round of radius 2.00 m has a moment of inertia I = 275 kg · m2 and is rotating about a frictionless vertic

ryzh [129]

Answer:

0.2932 rad/s

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2 m

$I_i$ = Initial angular momentum = $275\ kgm^2$

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 14 rev/min

$I_f$ = Final angular momentum

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

Here the angular momentum of the system is conserved

$I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow 275\times 14\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}=(275+275(2)^2)\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{275\times 14\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}}{275+275(2)^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=0.2932\ rad/s$

The final angular velocity is 0.2932 rad/s

Which shows the correct lens equation? The inverse of f equals the inverse of d Subscript o Baseline times the inverse of d Subs

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The inverse of f equals the inverse of d Subscript o Baseline plus the inverse of d Subscript I Baseline.

Explanation:

The lens equation shows the relation among focal length of the lens, image distance and object distance. It can be expressed as:

$\frac{1}{f}$ = $\frac{1}{d_{o} }$ + $\frac{1}{d_{I} }$

where: f is the focal length of the lens, $d_{o}$ is the object distance to the lens and $d_{I}$ is the image distance to the lens.

The lens equation can be used to determine the unknown value among the variables f , $d_{o}$ and $d_{o}$ .
