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

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s.

the rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

2.1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device that uses work to remove heat energy from a cold reservoir and deposit it into a hot reservoir. .A good refrigerator (with a large performance coefficient) will remove a large amount of heat energy from the cold reservoir for a small amount of work input

The performance coefficient of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of the heat energy removed from the cold reservoir to the work input to the refrigerator:

k=QC/W

power is defined as work per unit time

1.k=1500/750=2

2. 1200/400=3

3.2000/500=4

4.1000/250=4

5.1500/500=3

6.3000/1000=3

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

2, Rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

rate at which temperature rises in the inner chamber of the refrigerator is proportional to the rate of energy used to dispel heat from the refrigerator

1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

billiardballsnew2 A white billiard ball with mass mw = 1.49 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.09 m/s and

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Final velocity of white ball is 0m/s

Final velocity of black ball is 3.09m/s

Explanation:

An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy

An internal kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of objects in the system

Initial kinetic energy of white ball is Vi1 = 3.09m/s

Final kinetic energy of white ball is Vf1 = ?

Initial kinetic energy of black ball is Vi2 = 0m/s

Final kinetic energy of black ball is Vf2 = ?

m1 = 1.49kg mass of white ball

m2 = 1.49kg mass of black ball

The formula to calculate internal kinetic energy is

1/2m1Vf1^2 + 1/2m2Vf2^2 = 1/2m1Vi1^2

Solving the equation

1.Vf1 = (m1 - m2)Vi1/m1+m2

Vf1 = (1.49-1.49)*3.09/1.49+1/49

Vf1 = 0m/s

2. Vf2 = 2m1Vi1/m1+m2

Vf2 = 2*1.49*3.09/1.49+1.49

Vf2 = 3.09m/s

N:B following the general principle of collision when 2 bodies of same masses collide in elastic collision they exchange velocities.

Two spectators at a soccer game in Montjuic Stadium see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. Th

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

a) The distance of spectator A to the player is 79.2 m

b) The distance of spectator B to the player is 43.9 m

c) The distance between the two spectators is 90.6 m

Explanation:

a) Knowing the time it takes the sound to reach both spectators, we can calculate their position relative to the player, using this equation:

x = v * t

where:

x = position of the spectators

v = speed of sound

t = time

Then, the position for spectator A relative to the player is:

x = 343 m/s * 0.231 s = 79.2 m

b)For spectator B:

x = 343 m/s * 0.128 s

x = 43.9 m

The distance of spectator A and B to the player is 79.2 m and 43.9 m respectively.

c) To calculate the distance between the spectators, please see the attached figure. Notice that the distance between the spectators is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the sightline of both. We already know the longitude of the two sides. Then, using Pythagoras theorem:

(Distance AB)² = A² + B²

(Distance AB)² = (79.2 m)² + (43.9 m)²

Distance AB = 90. 6 m

Answer:

Similarity: >>Time is independent variable and such is on the x-axis. ... >>Distance time graph tells you how much distance you have travelled, while velocity time graph tells you your acceleration. The difference between them is that the velocity-time graph reveals the speed of an object (and whether it is slowing down or speeding up), while the position-time graph describes the motion of an object over a period of time.
