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".

A particle on a spring moves in simple harmonic motion along the x axis between turning points at x1 = 95 cm and x2 = 135 cm. (i
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(i) x = 115\,cm, (ii) x = 95\,cm, (iii) x = 95\,cm

Explanation:

(i) x_{1} and x_{2} represent the points where particle has a velocity of zero and spring reach maximum deformation, Given the absence of non-conservative force and by the Principle of Energy Conservation, the position where particle is at maximum speed is average of both extreme positions:

x = 115\,cm

(ii) Maximum accelerations is reached at x_{1} and x_{2}.

x = 95\,cm

(iii) Greatest net forces exerted on the particle are reached at  x_{1} and x_{2}.

x = 95\,cm
