Velocity, as it is is a vector quantity, so it has both direction and magnitude.
Speed is a scalar quantity, so it only has magnitude, no direction.

How was the formation of the outer planets affected by their distance from the sun?

djverab [1.8K]

The formation of the outer planets are affected by their distance from the sun with having them to maintain the lighter elements that they are composed of such as the hydrogen and helium, having them far away will also make their planet more cooler as the sun is distant from them.

A 26-kg sled is on a snow-covered slope. The coeﬃcients of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow are µs = 0.096 and µ

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of sled =26 kg

coefficient of static friction $\mu _s=0.096$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.072$

In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

$f_s=\mu mg=0.096\times 26\times 9.8=24.46 N$

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

$f_k=\mu _kmg=0.072\times 26\times 9.8=18.34 N$

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N

A passenger in a train accelerating smoothly away from a station observes that a child’s yo-yo hanging by its string from a lugg

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

3.0 cm

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the yo-yo. There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and tension force T pulling up 10° from the vertical.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

T cos 10° − mg = 0

T cos 10° = mg

T = mg / cos 10°

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T sin 10° = ma

mg tan 10° = ma

g tan 10° = a

a = 1.73 m/s²

Draw a free body diagram of the sphere. There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and air resistance D pushing up. At terminal velocity, the acceleration is 0.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

D − mg = 0

D = mg

½ ρₐ v² C A = ρᵢ V g

½ ρₐ v² C (πr²) = ρᵢ (4/3 πr³) g

3 ρₐ v² C = 8 ρᵢ r g

r = 3 ρₐ v² C / (8 ρᵢ g)

r = 3 (1.3 kg/m³) (100 m/s)² (0.47) / (8 (7874 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²))

r = 0.030 m

r = 3.0 cm

What type of relationship exists between the length of a wire and the resistance, if all other factors remain the same? A. Resis

ZanzabumX [31]

<h3>Answer</h3>

(A) Resistance is directly related to length.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Formula for resistance

R = p(length) / A

where R = resistance

p = resistivity(material of wire)

A = cross sectional area

So it can be seen that resistance depends upon 3 factors that are length of wire , resistivity of wire and the cross sectional area of the wire.

If two of the factors, resistivity and cross sectional area, are kept constant then the resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire.

<h3> R ∝ length</h3>

This means that the resistance of the wire increases with the increase in length of the wire and decreases with the decrease of length of the wire.
