a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes.  This one isn't bad.  The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.

b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No.  That's silly. 
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity. 

c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.

d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.

A 0.75μF capacitor is charged to 70 V . It is then connected in series with a 55Ω resistor and a 140 Ω resistor and allowed to d
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Capacitor of 0.75μF, charged to 70V and connect in series with 55Ω and 140 Ω to discharge.

Energy dissipates in 55Ω resistor is given by V²/R

Since the 55ohms and 140ohms l discharge the capacitor fully, the voltage will be zero volts and this voltage will be shared by the resistor in ratio.

So for 55ohms, using voltage divider rule

V=R1/(R1+R2) ×Vt

V=55/(55+140) ×70

V=19.74Volts is across the 55ohms resistor.

Then, energy loss will be

E=V²/R

E=19.74²/55

E=7.09J

7.09J of heat is dissipated by the 55ohms resistor

A car moving at 60 mph slams on its brakes to stop before hitting a deer. Another identical car traveling at 60 mph slows to a s
ankoles [38]

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

When attempting to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, why is it necessary to move the block with constant velocity
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to measure the coefficient of friction , we apply external force to move the body . When external force comes in motion , we adjust the external force so that it moves with zero acceleration or uniform velocity . In this case external force becomes equal to kinetic frictional force and then net force becomes zero because

net force = mass x acceleration = m x 0 = 0

Now frictional force = μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction

so F = μ mg where F is external force applied

μ = F / mg

Hence , to make external force equal to frictional force , it is necessary to make acceleration of body zero .
