Physics

tekilochka [14]3 years ago

Answer:

velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the total distance covered per unit time and the velocity is defined as the total displacement per unit time.

Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. The quantities that have both magnitude and direction are vector quantity and the quantity that have only magnitude are scalar quantity.The SI unit of both velocity and speed is m/s.

So, the correct option is (c) "  velocity is a vector and requires a direction ".

Answer: C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- scalars: these are quantities that have only a magnitude

- vectors: there are quantities that have both magnitude and direction

As an example, speed is a scalar while velocity is a vector. Therefore, speed has only a magnitude, while velocity has both magnitude and direction: therefore, the difference between the two quantities is that velocity is a vector and requires a direction, as stated in option C.

Spring #1 has a force constant of k, and spring #2 has a force constant of 2k. Both springs are attached to the ceiling. Identic
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is 2:1

Explanation:

Let the weight that is hooked to two springs be w.

Spring#1:

Force constant= k

let x1 be the extension in spring#1

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒k·x1=w

⇒x1=w/k

Energy stored in a spring is given by \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} where k is the force constant and x is the extension in spring.

Therefore Energy stored in spring#1 is, \frac{1}{2}k(x1)^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{w}{k})^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{w^{2}}{2k}

Spring #2:

Force constant= 2k

let x2 be the extension in spring#2

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒2k·x2=w

⇒x2=w/2k

Therefore Energy stored in spring#2 is, \frac{1}{2}2k(x2)^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{1}{2}2k(\frac{w}{2k})^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{w^{2}}{4k}

∴The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is \frac{\frac{w^{2}}{2k}}{\frac{w^{2}}{4k}}=2:1

7. Un bloque de 700 N se encuentra sobre una viga uniforme de 200 N y 6 m de longitud. El bloque está a una distancia de 1 m del
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

 x =  0.176 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will take the condition of rotational equilibrium, where the reference system is located on the far left and the wire on the far right. We assume that counterclockwise turns are positive.

Let's use trigonometry to decompose the tension

      sin 60 = T_{y} / T

      T_{y} = T sin 60

       cos 60 = Tₓ / T

      Tₓ = T cos 60

we apply the equation

       ∑ τ = 0

       -W L / 2 - w x + T_{y} L = 0

 

the length of the bar is L = 6m

           -Mg 6/2 - m g x + T sin 60 6 = 0

             x = (6 T sin 60 - 3 M g) / mg

let's calculate

let's use the maximum tension that resists the cable T = 900 N

             x = (6 900 sin 60 - 3 200 9.8) / (700 9.8)

             x = (4676 - 5880) / 6860

             x = - 0.176 m

Therefore the block can be up to 0.176m to keep the system in balance.

What is atomic theory and how has it changed over time?
vazorg [7]
<span>In chemistry and physics, the atomic theory explains how our understanding of the atom has changed over time. Atoms were once thought to be the smallest pieces of matter. The first idea of the atom came from the Greek philosopher Democritus. Hope I helped!!</span>

4. If you swing wide to the left before turning right, another driver may try to pass you on the right. True or False
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Don't turn wide to the left as you start the turn. A driver behind may think you are turning left and try to pass you on the right. You may crash into the other vehicle as you complete your turn.

Instead, slowly give yourself and others more time to avoid problems, keep the rear of the vehicle close to the curb. This will stop other drivers from passing you on the right. This is called (button Hook)

If you are driving a truck or bus that cannot make the right turn without swinging into the other lane, turn wide as you complete the turn.
