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

What decibel reading corresponds to a pressure amplitude of 0.2 W/m^2?
horsena [70]

I  = pressure amplitude given = 0.2 W/m²

dB = decibel reading

decibel reading from the pressure amplitude is given as

dB = 10 log₁₀ (I/10⁻¹²)

inserting the values in the above equation

dB = 10 log₁₀ (0.2/10⁻¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10⁻¹/10⁻¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10⁻¹.10¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10¹²⁻¹)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10¹¹)

dB = 113.01 db

hence the decibel reading comes out to be 113.01 db

A projectile is fired vertically from Earth's surface with
scoray [572]

Answer:

h=25.52\times10^6 m

Explanation:

Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?

Let  m = Mass of the projectile

Solution:

Potential energy at maximum height =  ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface

-G M m / ( R + h )=- G M m / R + (1/2) m v^2

- G M / ( R + h ) = - G M / R + (1/2) v^2

-2\times G M / ( R + h ) = ( - 2 G M / R ) + v^2

-2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}/ ( R + h )

=( (- 2\times 6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}) /(6.4\times10^6)} +10000^2

=-2.50625\times10^7 J

=- 8\times10^{14} / ( R + h )=-2.50625\times 10^7

R+h=31.92\times10^{6}

h=31.92\times10^{6}-6.4\times10^6

h=25.52\times10^6 m
