Explanation:

The total distance travelled by an object divided by total time taken is called the speed of an object. Its formula is given by :

s=\dfrac{d}{t}

Speed is a scalar quantity. It has only magnitude but no direction.

The total displacement of the particle divided by total time taken is called the velocity of that object. It is given by :

v=\dfrac{D}{t}

D is the displacement or shortest path covered

Velocity is a vector quantity. It have both magnitude and direction.

Both speed and velocity of an object are same. The only difference is that the speed is a scalar quantity while the velocity is a vector.

The statement that best explains the difference between velocity and speed is (A) i.e. "Velocity is speed with a direction".

How much work is done when a 4.0-newton box is carried horizontally a distance of 2.0 meters at a constant velocity?
monitta

Answer: Work done by the box will be 8 Joules.

Explanation:

Work done by a substance is the product of the force applied on it and the displacement of a substance.

Mathematically,

W=F.s

Where,

W = work done = ? J

F = Force applied = 4 N

s = displacement = 2 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=4N\times 2m=8Nm=8J

Hence, work done by the box will be 8 Joules.

This ratio (Fnet/m) is sometimes called the gravitational field strength

and is expressed as 9.8 N/kg ⇒ answer D

Explanation:

The gravitational field strength at a point is:

  • The gravitational force exerted per unit mass placed at that point.
  • This means that the gravitational field strength, g is equal to the force experienced by a mass of 1 kg in that gravitational field
  • Gravitational field strength = Weight/mass
  • Its unit is Newton per kilogram
  • Gravitational field strength ≈ 9.8 N/kg

From the notes above

The ratio \frac{F_{net}}{mass} = Gravitational field strength (g)

The answer is:

This ratio (Fnet/m) is sometimes called the gravitational field

strength and is expressed as 9.8 N/kg

a car is moving down the street at 55km/h. a child suddenly runs into the street. If it takes the driver 0.75 seconds to react a
Lelechka [254]
11.46 meters

55 km/h = ? m/s
55 km/h × 1000 (meters per km) = 55,000 m/h
55,000 m/h ÷ 3,600 (seconds in an hour) = 15.28 m/s
15.28 m/s × 0.75 s = 11.46 m
