Velocity - <span><span>the speed of something in a given direction
Speed - </span></span><span>rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; <span>celerity
Velocity is the speed in a certain direction, whereas speed is just the rate of fastness.
Does that make sense?

A large ball of Play-Doh with a mass of 0.04kg is launched from a catapult with an initial
ryzh [129]

Answer:

  ≈ 6.68 m/s

Explanation:

A suitable formula is ...

  vf^2 -vi^2 = 2ad

where vi and vf are the initial and final velocities, a is the acceleration, and d is the distance covered.

We note that if the initial launch direction is upward, the velocity of the ball when it comes back to its initial position is the same speed, but in the downward direction. Hence the problem is no different than if the ball were initially launched downward.

Then ...

  vf = √(2ad +vi^2) = √(2·9.8 m/s^2·1.0 m+(5 m/s)^2) = √44.6 m/s

  vf ≈ 6.68 m/s

The ball hits the ground with a speed of about 6.68 meters per second.

__

We assume the launch direction is either up or down.

Why do different substances produce electromagnetic waves when they are heated up or energized?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Electromagnetic radiation is made when an atom absorbs energy. The absorbed energy causes one or more electrons to change their locale within the atom. When the electron returns to its original position, an electromagnetic wave is produced. ... These electrons in these atoms are then in a high energy state.
