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

A certain light truck can go around a flat curve having a radius of 150 m with a maximum spee dof 32.0 m/s. With what maximum sp

Dvinal [7]

Answer

Maximum speed at 75 m radius will be 22.625 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given radius of the curve r = 150 m

Maximum speed $v_{max}=32m/sec$

Coefficient of friction $\mu =\frac{v_{max}^2}{rg}=\frac{32^2}{150\times 9.8}=0.6965$

Now new radius r = 75 m

So maximum speed at new radius $v_{max}=\sqrt{\mu rg}=\sqrt{0.6965\times 75\times 9.8}=22.625m/sec$

earnstyle [38]

We are given with the specific heat capacity of ethanol, the mass of the sample and the temperature change to determine the total amount of heat to raise the temperature. The formula to be followed is H = mCpΔT. Upon subsituting, H = 79 g * 2.42 J/gC *(385-298)C = 16.63 kJ

Imagine you are on the top of a mountain with four basketballs. The mass of the four basketballs are 100 kilograms, 200 kilogram

pentagon [3]

Answer:

400 kilogram

Explanation:

Force exerted is directly proportional to the mass of an object.

F=ma where m is mass and a is acceleration. Taking uniform acceleration on all objects then the larger the mass the higher the force and vice versa. Theredore, among the masses given, 400 kilograms is the largest hence it exerts the largest force at the bottom
