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

Calculate the AMA of an access ramp if it takes 255 N of force to push a person in a wheelchair having a combined weight of 764

Andreyy89

Actual Mechanical Advantage(AMA) = Weight / Force
Here, Weight = 764 N
Force = 255 N

Substitute the values in to the expression,
AMA = 764 / 255
AMA = 2.99

After rounding-off to the nearest tenth value, it would be 3

Finally, option C would be your answer.

Hope this helps!

A point charge with a charge q1 = 4.00 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with a charge q2 = -4.10 μC mo

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

W = -0.480 J

Explanation:

given,

q₁ = 4 μC

q₂ = -4.10 μC

$W = kq_1q_2(\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{b})$

$b = \sqrt{(0.27-0)^2+(0.27-0)^2}$

b = 0.381

k = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

$W = 8.99\times 10^9\times 4\times 10^{-6}\times (-4.1 \times 10^{-6})(\dfrac{1}{0.17}+\dfrac{1}{0.381})$

$W = [-147.436\times (5.88-2.62)\times 10^{-3}]J$

W = -0.480 J

Work done by the electric force W = -0.480 J

A car with a mass of 2.0×10^3 kg is traveling at 15m/s .what is the momentum of the car ?

Maurinko [17]

Hello,

<span>A car with a mass of 2.0×10^3 kg is traveling at 15m/s. We need to find the momentum of the car. To do so, follow this formula:

p=mv

Where,

p = momentum
m = mass
v = </span>velocity

The cars mass is 2.0E3 and its velocity is 15m/s. Therefore:

p=2.0 x 10^3 *15 or 2000(15)

p=30000

Thus, the cars momentum is 30000 kg m/s
