<span>Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.</span>

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed? If an object is rolling wit
salantis [7]

Answer:

v = r\omega

Explanation:

If the object is rolling without slipping, every unit of rotated angle equals to a distance perimeter rotated.

Suppose the object complete 1 revolution within time t. The angular distance is 2π rad. Its angular velocity is 2π/t

The distance it covered is its circumference, which is 2πr, and so the speed is 2πr/t

So the linear speed compared to angular speed is

\frac{v}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi r/t}{2\pi /t} = r

v = r\omega

An experiment is performed on an unknown material and produces the given heat curve. The temperature of the material is shown as
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

In the table, 1=46.7 °C, 1=165 J, 2=819 J, 3=1510 J, and 4=2830 J.

Other experiments determine that the material has a temperature of fusion of

fusion =235 °C and a temperature of vaporization of vapor=481 °C.

If the sample of material has a mass of =8.60 g, calculate the specific heat when this material is a solid, and when it is liquid, l

Material speed of light
Cloud [144]
The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.
