Velocity is a vector quantity i.e. it has both magnitude and direction
Speed is a scalar quantity i.e. it has only magnitude

Answer:

velocity is a vector quantity while speed is a scalar quantity

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity. This means that it is describe or characterized by booth speed and magnitude.

speed is a scalar quantity. This means that it has only magnitude but no direction.

for example, A car is driving at a speed of 200km/hr

This statement only describes the speed of the car and the magnitude, it is a scalar quantity

but a car if the statement says ; a car is driving with a velocity of 200km/hr northwards, The direction is specified therefore making it a vector quantity

The x and y components of vector S are -30.0 m and +40.0 m, respectively. Find the magnitude of S and the angle between the dire

34kurt

Answer:

The given vector can be represented in unit vector as

$\overrightarrow{w}=-30\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}$

The magnitude of any vector $\overrightarrow{r}=u\widehat{i}+v\widehat{j}$ is given by

$|w|=\sqrt{u^{2}+v^{2}}$

Applying values we get

$|w|=\sqrt{-30^{2}+40^{2}}\\\\|r|=50$

We know that positive x axis in vertorial form is represented as

$\overrightarrow{r}=\widehat{i}$

taking dot product of both the vector's we get

$\overrightarrow{r}.\overrightarrow{w}=|r||w|cos(\theta )\\\\\therefore cos(\theta )=\frac{(-30\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}).\widehat{i}}{50}\\\\\therefore \theta =cos^{-1}(\frac{-30}{50})=126.86^{o}$

What are two things that are infinite?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Infinity = Never ending

Explanation:

The universe could be infinite, both in terms of space and time, but there is currently no way to test whether it goes on forever or is just very big. The part of the universe we are able to observe is finite, measuring about 46 billion light years in diameter.

The set of natural numbers is an infinite set. This kind of infinity is, by definition, called countable infinity. All sets that can be put into a bijective relation to the natural numbers are said to have this kind of infinity. This is also expressed by saying that the cardinal number of the set is aleph-naught (ℵ0).

Hope this helps. Mark as brainliest!

Two sources of light of wavelength 700 nm are 9 m away from a pinhole of diameter 1.2 mm. How far apart must the sources be for

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The distance is $D = 0.000712 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength of the light source is $\lambda = 700 \ nm = 700 *10^{-9} \ m$

The distance from a pin hole is $x = 9\ m$

The diameter of the pin hole is $d = 1.2 \ mm = 0.0012 \ m$

Generally the distance which the light source need to be in order for their diffraction patterns to be resolved by Rayleigh's criterion is

mathematically represented as

$D = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{d }$

substituting values

$D = \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 0.0012 }$

$D = 0.000712 \ m$

What is one common electrostatic phenomenon

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

There are many examples of electrostatic phenomena, from those as simple as the attraction of the plastic wrap to one's hand after it is removed from a package to the apparently spontaneous explosion of grain silos, the damage of electronic components during manufacturing, and photocopier & laser printer operation
