What two things do you need to know to describe the velocity of an object?

Physics

mezya [45]3 years ago

By definition, we have that the speed of an object is given by:


v = \frac{d}{t}

Where,

d: distance [in units of length: meters, feet, miles]

t: time [in units of time: minutes, seconds, hours]

Therefore, knowing the distance traveled, and the time to travel this distance, we can know the speed of an object.

Then, since velocity is a vector, then we need the direction of the vector.

Therefore, the velocity vector can be written as:

v = |v|(cos(\alpha) i + sin(\alpha) j)

Answer:

two things you need to know to describe the velocity of an object are:

1) Magnitude (speed)

2) direction

Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.
lidiya [134]

We have 6 levels and we will verify which of them is true.

<em>A ) Electric charge is conserved </em>

According to the conservation of charge, an electric charge can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

<em>B ) A positive charge and negative charge attract each other</em>

According to the properties of charges, the opposite charges attract each other and similar charges repel each other

Therefore this statement is  TRUE

<em>C) Two positive charges attract each other.</em>

Using the previous law, we can observe that this statement is false, because equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is FALSE.

<em>D ) Two negative charges repel each other.</em>

Using the same principle as the two previous statements, two equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is TRUE

<em>E) Electric charge is quantized.</em>

According to the quantization of charge, charges can take values only in integral multiples of a fundamental unit of charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

<em>F) A neutral object contains no charge.</em>

A neutral object contains equal amount of negative and positive charge. Thus, in totality a neutral object contains no charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

The perceived loudness of a sound is measured in
diamong [38]
<h2>Answer: decibels </h2>

The decibel dB is the relation between two values: the pressure produced by a sound wave and a pressure taken as a reference. Resulting in a dimensionless value.

It should be noted that itself<u> is not a unit of measure</u>, since in reality the unit is bel B (which <u>is not part of the International System of Units</u>) in honor of Alexander Graham Bell.

However, given the amplitude of the measured elements in practice, its submultiple, the decibel, is used. That is, this quotient is a logarithmic expression, where 1dB=0.1B

Which has a greater momentum? A 1200kg car traveling at 30m/s or a 2000kg truck traveling at 20m/s
Fittoniya [83]

the formula for momentum is velocity times mass

car :

1200 x 30 = 36000

truck:

2000 x 20 = 40000

Ans : truck has a greater momentum
