Speed is a vector quantity

1 answer:

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.

A ray of light has a wavelength of

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, $\lambda=284\ nm$

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

$n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm$

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

You are given a parallel plate capacitor that has plates of area 27 cm^2 which are separated by 0.0100 mm of nylon (dielectric c

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Applied voltage should be 13.5396 kV

Explanation:

The charge stored by a capacitor when subjected to a potential difference 'v' across it's plates is given by

$Q=\frac{K\epsilon _{o} A}{d}V$

Solving for V we get

$V=\frac{Qd}{K\epsilon _{o}A}$

thus to store a charge of 0.11mC we solve for V as follows

Applying values we get

$V=\frac{0.11\times 10^{-3}\times 0.01\times 10^{-3}}{27\times 10^{-4}\times 3.4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}$

$\therefore V=13.5396kV$

A ship coming from sea enters the river ,with its hull sink more or less in river water?Give reasons.

GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Hey, there!

Answer: It sinks more.

We know that the water of sea is salty in nature which increases the density of water in sea and donot let's ship sink but in condition of river water it doesn't have any effects of salty water as it doesn't contain salty water due to which it's density is no more than the densityof ship which let's it sink more than sea water.

Hope it helps...
