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

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. the Moon has a larger acceleration than Earth, because it has a smaller mass.

Explanation:

A. the Moon has a larger acceleration than Earth, because it has a smaller mass.

According to Newton's second law F=ma, if we solve for a we have that

a=F/m, the smaller the mass the larger the acceleration given the force is the same, in this case the moon has a smaller mass and therefore a larger acceleration

What is the velocity of the car, in meters per second, just after it hits a 135-kg deer initially running at 10.5 m/s in the sam
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

V = 27.46 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the deer(m) = 135 Kg

speed of the deer (u) = 10.5 m/s

assuming,

mass of the car(M) = 900 Kg

initial velocity of car (v) = 30 m/s

using conservation of momentum

m u + M v = (M + m )V

V is the velocity of the car as deer is on the car

135 x 10.5 + 900 x 30 = (900 + 135 ) V

28417.5 = 1035 V

V = 27.46 m/s

so, the velocity of car is equal to V = 27.46 m/s

A billiards ball B rests on a horizontal surface and is struck by another billiards ball A of the same mass m = 0.2 kg. Ball A i
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

v1 = 15.90 m/s

v2 = 8.46 m/s

mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J

mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.2 kg

speed = 18 m/s

angle =  28°

to find out

final velocity and  mechanical energy both before and after the collision

solution

we know that conservation of momentum remain same so in x direction

mv = mv1 cosθ + mv2cosθ

put here value

0.2(18) = 0.2 v1 cos(28) + 0.2 v2 cos(90-28)

3.6 =  0.1765 V1 + 0.09389 v2    ................1

and

in y axis

mv = mv1 sinθ - mv2sinθ

0 = 0.2 v1 sin28 - 0.2 v2 sin(90-28)

0 = 0.09389 v1 - 0.1768 v2   .......................2

from equation 1 and 2

v1 = 15.90 m/s

v2 = 8.46 m/s

so

mechanical energy  before collision = 1/2 mv1² + 1/2 mv2²

mechanical energy before collision = 1/2 (0.2)(18)² + 0

mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J

and

mechanical energy after collision = 1/2 (0.2)(15.90)² + 1/2 (0.2)(8.46)²

mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J
