Which statement describes the difference between speed and velocity

Physics
2 answers:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
7 0

Velocity is speed plus a direction.


30 miles per hour to the north
30 miles per hour to the east

These are the same speed but different velocities.

Explanation :

Distance : The total path covered during the entire journey of any particle.

Displacement : The smallest path covered by a particle.

Speed : It is defined as the total distance covered divided by total time taken. It has only magnitude not direction.

Velocity : It is defined as the total displacement traveled by a particle divided by total time taken. It is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " Velocity is speed with a direction".

Calculate the work done by an applied force of 76.0 N on a crate for the following. (Include the sign of the value in your answe
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 400.4Joules

b) 262.69Joules

Explanation:

Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the object to move through a distance

Workdone = Force × Distance

Given

Force = 76N

Distance= 5.2m

Work done = 77 × 5.2

Work done = 400.4Joules

b) If the force is exerted at an angle of 41°

Work done = Fdsin theta

Work done = 77(5.2)sin41

Work done = 400.4sin41

Work done = 262.69Joules

How many atoms are in a sample of 1.83 moles of potassium (K) atoms?
telo118 [61]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

 </span>1.83 moles K (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole ) = 1.10 x 10^24 atoms K

The illustration shows a rollercoaster and indicates four different positions the car might be at as it moves along the track. A
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Point a

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is given by :

P = mgh

m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height above ground level.

Potential energy is directly proportional to the position of an object.

In the attached figure, the maximum height is shown at point (a). It means it will have maximum potential energy at a as compared to b,c and d.

In each of the parts of this question, a nucleus undergoes a nuclear decay. Determine the resulting nucleus in each case.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(A). The resulting nucleus is Fr.

(B). The resulting nucleus is Po.

(C). The resulting nucleus is Ne

(D). The resulting nucleus is Tc.

Explanation:

Given that,

A nucleus undergoes a nuclear decay.

(A). In alpha decay,

We know that,

When the nucleus emit alpha particle then atomic mass of particle reduce by 4 and atomic number reduce by 2.

We need to calculate the resulting nucleus

Using given data

^{227}_{89}Ac\Rightarrow ^{227-4}_{89-2}X

^{227}_{89}Ac\Rightarrow ^{223}_{87}Fr

The resulting nucleus is Fr.

(B). In beta-minus decay,

We know that,

When the nucleus emit beta- minus particle then atomic mass of particle is same and atomic number increase by 1.

We need to calculate the resulting nucleus

Using given data

^{211}_{83}Bi\Rightarrow ^{211}_{83+1}X

^{211}_{83}Bi\Rightarrow ^{211}_{84}Po

The resulting nucleus is Po.

(C). In beta-plus decay,

We know that,

When the nucleus emit beta- plus particle then atomic mass of particle is same and atomic number decrease by 1.

We need to calculate the resulting nucleus

Using given data

^{22}_{11}Na\Rightarrow ^{22}_{11-1}X

^{22}_{11}Na\Rightarrow ^{22}_{10}Ne

The resulting nucleus is Ne.

(D). In gamma decay,

We know that,

When the nucleus emit gamma particle then atomic mass and atomic number of particle is same.

We need to calculate the resulting nucleus

Using given data

^{98}_{43}Tc\Rightarrow ^{98}_{43}Tc

The resulting nucleus is Tc.

Hence, (A). The resulting nucleus is Fr.

(B). The resulting nucleus is Po.

(C). The resulting nucleus is Ne

(D). The resulting nucleus is Tc.
