Which statement describes the difference between speed and velocity

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".

Air bags are designed to deploy in 10 ms. Given that the air bags expand 20 cm as they deploy, estimate the acceleration of the

joja [24]

As it is given that the air bag deploy in time

$t = 10 ms = 0.010 s$

total distance moved by the front face of the bag

$d = 20 cm = 0.20 m$

Now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0.20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a*0.010^2$

$0.20 = 5 * 10^{-5}* a$

$a = 4000 m/s^2$

now as we know that

$g = 10 m/s^2$

so we have

$a = 400g$

so the acceleration is 400g for the front surface of balloon

The distance between a speaker and a listener is 8.0 m. Determine the frequency of the sound wave if exactly 20 waves are formed

dmitriy555 [2]

The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number = $\frac{frequency}{speed of light}$

$20 = \frac{f}{340 m/s} \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz$

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

Find the radioactivity of a 1 g sample of 226Ra given that <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t_%7B1%2F2%7D%3D1620" id="TexFormul

dangina [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

No of atoms of Ra in 1 g of sample = 6.023 x 10²³ / 226

N = 2.66 x 10²¹

disintegration constant λ = .693 / half life

half life = 1620 x 365 x 60 x 60 x 24 = 5.1 x 10¹⁰ s

disintegration constant λ = .693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰

radioactivity dn / dt = λN

= (.693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰ ) x 2.66 x 10²¹

= .3614 x 10¹¹ per sec

= 3.614 x 10¹⁰ / s
