Speed is a vector quantity

Physics
1 answer:
Lilit [14]3 years ago

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.

A water skier lets go of the tow rope upon leaving the end ofa
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1.35m

Explanation:

At the highest point of the jump, the vertical speed of the skier should be 0. So the 13m/s speed is horizontal, this speed stays the same from the jumping point to the highest point. The 14m/s speed at jumping point is the combination of both vertical and horizontal speeds.

The vertical speed at the jumping point can be computed:

v_v^2 + v_h^2 = v^2

v_v^2 + 13^2 = 14^2

v_v^2 = 196 - 169 = 27

v_v = \sqrt{27} = 5.2 m/s

When the skier jumps to the its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

E_p = E_k

mgh = mv_v^2/2

where m is the skier mass and h is the vertical distance traveled, v_v is the vertical velocity at jumping point, and h is the highest point.

Let g = 10m/s2

We can divide both sides of the equation by m:

gh = v_v^2/2

h = \frac{v_v^2}{2g} = \frac{27}{2*10} = 1.35 m

In separate experiments, a large number of particles (all with the same charge, but with a wide variety of masses and speeds) ar
likoan [24]

Answer:

  they have the same mass

Explanation:

The force applied by the field is a function of the charge and velocity, so the acceleration experienced by a particle will be dependent upon its mass. Particles in orbits with the same radius are exhibiting the same acceleration, so must have the same mass.

A train travels due south at 25 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of e
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Train travels towards south with a velocity if v_t=25\ m/s

Rain makes an angle of \theta =66^{o}  with vertical

If an observer sees the drop fall perfectly vertical i.e. horizontal component of rain velocity is equal to train velocity

suppose v_r is the velocity of rain with respect to ground then

v_r\sin\theta =v_t

v_r\times \sin (66)=25

v_r=27.36\ m/s

Therefore velocity of rain drops is 27.36 m/s

On a cloudless day, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the earth has an intensity of about W/m². What is the electromagnet
Otrada [13]

Answer:

1.907 x 10⁻⁵ J.

Explanation:

Given,

Volume of space, V = 5.20 m³

Assuming the intensity of sunlight(S) be equal to 1.1 x 10³ W/m².

Electromagnetic energy = ?

E = \mu V

E = (\dfrac{S}{c})\times V

where c is the speed of light.

E = (\dfrac{1.1\times 10^3}{3\times 10^8})\times 5.20

E = 1.907\times 10^{-5}\ J

Hence, Electromagnetic energy is equal to 1.907 x 10⁻⁵ J.
