What is the magnitude of velocity called?

1 answer:

3 0

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Supposethat a wind is blowing in from the direction at a speed of 50 km/h. (This meansthat the direction from which the wind blows is west of the northerly direction.) Apilot is steering a plane in the direction at an airspeed (speed in still air) of250 km/h

A ceiling fan with 90-cm-diameter blades is turning at 64 rpm . Suppose the fan coasts to a stop 28 s after being turned off. Wh

Answer:

the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the ceiling fan, d = 90 cm = 0.9 m

angular speed of the fan, ω = 64 rpm

time taken for the fan to stop, t = 28 s

The distance traveled by the ceiling fan when it comes to a stop is calculated as;

$d = vt = \omega r\times t= ( \frac{64 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s} \times 0.9 \ m) \times 28 \ s\\\\d = 168.89 \ m$

The speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is calculated as;

$v = \frac{d}{t} \\\\v = \frac{168.89}{10} \\\\v = 16.889 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

From the concepts you have learned in this module, how are you going to assess

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.

Which formulas have been correctly rearranged to solve for radius? Check all that apply. r = GM central/v^2 r =fcm/v^2 r =ac/v^2

jek_recluse [69]

The orbital radius is: $r=\frac{GM}{v^2}$

Explanation:

The problem is asking to find the radius of the orbit of a satellite around a planet, given the orbital speed of the satellite.

For a satellite in orbit around a planet, the gravitational force provides the required centripetal force to keep it in circular motion, therefore we can write:

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$
