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

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

We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. how much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun
galina1969 [7]
We know that the source of light in the universe is the Sun. Hence, the light we see as moonlight travels from the Sun's surface, to the moon, then to Earth. So, before being able to solve this problem, we have to know the distance between the Sun and the moon, and the distance between the moon and Earth. In literature, these values are 3.8×10⁵ km (Sun to moon) and 384,400 km (moon to Earth). Knowing that the speed of light is 300,000 km per second, then the total time would be

Time = distance/speed
Time = (3.8×10⁵ km + 384,400 km)/300,000 km/s
Time = 2.548 seconds

Thus, it only takes 2.548 for the light from the Sun to reach to the Earth as perceived to be what we call moonlight.
