2 answers:

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".

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water

Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

$v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh$

Where,

$V_i =$ Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

$A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2$

$v_1 = 0.8 m/s$

$h = 0.11m$

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find $V_2$ we have,

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}$

$v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}$

$v_2= 1.67 m/s$

Applying the concepts of continuity,

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

We need to find A_2 then,

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

$A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}$

$A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is $1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Assume that the same amount of current passes through the electromagnets shown. Identify which electromagnet is stronger than th

hodyreva [135]

First electromagnet

Explanation:

The first electromagnet is the strongest and it is stronger than the given electromagnet above.

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet made by passing current through a wire wounded round an iron core or metallic core.

When current is passed through, the metal becomes magnetic.
The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coil round the metal core and also the intensity of current passed through it.
The higher the number of coils wounded round the metal core, the stronger the electromagnet that will be produced.
Also, the higher the intensity of electricity passed through the wire, the stronger it is.
