Speed is the distance traveled by an object where as, velocity is distance traveled by an object per unit time in a particular direction. Speed is a scalar quantity where as velocity is a vector quantity.

Speed is a scalar. Velocity is a vector. Velocity has a direction while speed does not
Ex.
Speed: 40mph
Velocity: 40mph east

The box is pushed to the right with a force of 40 Newtons and it just begins to move what is the maximum static frictional force
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The maximum static frictional force is 40N.

Explanation:

When an object of mass M is on a surface with a coefficient of static friction μ, there is a minimum force that you need to apply to the object in order to "break" the coefficient of static friction and be able to move the object (Called the threshold of motion, once the object is moving we have a coefficient of kinetic friction, which is smaller than the one for static friction).

This coefficient defines the maximum static friction force that we can have.

So if we apply a small force and we start to increase it, the static frictional force will be equal to our force until it reaches its maximum, and then we can move the object and now we will have frictional force.

In this case, we know that we apply a force of 40N and the object just starts to move.

Then we can assume that we are just at the point of transition between static frictional force and kinetic frictional force (the threshold of motion), thus, 40 N is the maximum of the static frictional force.

What two forces limit the height to which capillary action will take water up a tube?
Jobisdone [24]
Capillary action<span> occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive</span>forces<span> between the liquid molecules. The </span>height to which capillary action will take water<span> in a uniform circular </span>tube<span> (picture to left) is limited by surface tension and, of course, gravity.

Hope this helps. :)</span>

The electric potential ( relative to infinity ) due to a single point charge Q is 400 V at a point that is 0.6 m to the right of
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The potential at a distance of 0.9 m is 266.67 V.

Explanation:

Charge = Q

Potential is 400 V at a distance 0.6 m .

Let the potential is V at a distance 0.9 m.

Use the formula of potential.

V = \frac{Kq}{r}\\\\\frac{V}{400}=\frac{0.6}{0.9}\\\\V = 266.67 V
