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

Physics
2 answers:
mezya [45]3 years ago
4 0

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 object experiences the greatest gravitational force? A)car B)fire truck C)plane D)human
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: C Plane

Explanation: According to Newton's law, gravitational force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Gravitational force depends on mass. The bigger the mass, the more the magnitude of the gravitational force. Since plane is assume to have the highest mass in the options, we can therefore conclude that plane will experience the highest gravitational force.

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the total energy supplied to the calorimeter.

We know that:

V = 3.6 V is the voltage applied

I = 2.6 A is the current

So, the power delivered is

P=VI=(3.6)(2.6)=9.36 W

Then, this power is delivered for a time of

t = 350 s

Therefore, the energy supplied is

E=Pt=(9.36)(350)=3276 J

Finally, the change in temperature of an object is related to the energy supplied by

E=C\Delta T

where in this problem:

E = 3276 J is the energy supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

\Delta T =29.1^{\circ}-20.3^{\circ}=8.8^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

Solving for C, we find:

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{3276}{8.8}=372.3 J/^{\circ}C

One of the most efficient engines built so far has the following characteristics: combustion chamber temperature = 1900°C, exhau
suter [353]

Answer:

actual efficiency is  47.78 %

Carnot efficiency  is 67.65 %

power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 1900°C = 1900+ 273 K = 2173 K

exhaust temperature = 430°C = 430 + 273 K = 703 K

fuel = 7.0 × 10^9 cal

work = 1.4 × 10^10 J

to find out

actual efficiency  and Carnot efficiency and power output of engine

solution

first we find actual efficiency that is = work / heat input

put the value and

input energy  = 7.0 × 10^9 cal  (4.184 J/1 cal)  = 29.29 × 10^9 J

actual efficiency  =  1.4 × 10^10 / ( 29.29 × 10^9 )

actual efficiency  =  0.4778

actual efficiency is  47.78 %

and

Carnot efficiency  is = 1 - ( 703 / 2173 )

so Carnot efficiency  is  = 0.67648

Carnot efficiency  is 67.65 %

and

power output  = work / time

power output  =  1.4 × 10^10 / 3600 sec

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W / 746 hp

so power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp
