Speed is a vector quantity

Physics
1 answer:
Lilit [14]3 years ago
7 0

The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. Speed is ignorant of direction. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.

During the first 14 minutes of a 1.0 hour trip, a car has an average speed 36 km/h. What must the average speed in km/h of the c
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

85.5 km/h

Explanation:

t_{1} = time interval for first phase = 14 min = \frac{14}{60} h = 0.233 h

t_{2} = time interval for second phase = 46 min = \frac{46}{60} h = 0.767 h

v = average speed for the entire trip = 74 km/h

v_{1} = average speed in first phase = 36 km/h

v_{2} = average speed in second phase

d_{1} = distance traveled in first phase

d_{2} = distance traveled in first phase

average speed is given as

v = \frac{d_{1} + d_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}

v = \frac{v_{1} t_{1} + v_{2} t_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}

74 = \frac{(36) (0.233) + v_{2} (0.767)}{0.233 + 0.767}

74 = (36) (0.233) + v_{2} (0.767)

v_{2} = 85.5 km/h

Explain how the message is transmitted from the receiving neuron’s dendrites down the axon all the way to the axon terminal (ele
Vikki [24]

The vesicles release neurotransmitters. These cross the synapse and are accepted by the receptors in the dendrites of the next neuron.

Explanation:

An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated Na+ channels. Na+ ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane.

A constant magnetic flux through a closed loop of wire induces an emf in that loop. True or false?
miskamm [114]

Answer: False

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the Faraday law, which say

dФm/dt=-ε  it means that the variation of the magnetic field flux with time is equal to the emf ( electromotive force). In our case the magnetic flux is constant then there is not a emf induced in a wire closed loop.
