Explanation:

Average speed and average velocity both are different quantities.Speed is a scalar quantity but on the other hand velocity is a vector quantity.Speed deals with distance but on the other hand velocity deals with displacement and we know that displace is a vector quantity that is why velocity is a vector quantity.

$Average\ speed\ =\dfrac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}$

$Average\ velocity\ =\dfrac{Total\ displacement}{Total\ time}$

If object is in uniform motion then speed and velocity will become same.

Both take the average speed.... however velocity also shows direction

What is the weight of a 2.00-kilogram object on

Trava [24]

<span>(4) 19.6 N</span>
On Earth's surface, a mass of 1kg <span>exerts a force(weight) of 9.81 N
So the weight= 9.81x2.00
=19.62N
=19.6N</span>

A laboratory electromagnet produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.38 T. A proton moves through this field with a speed of 5.86

Vladimir [108]

.Answer;

Using Fmax=qVB

F=(1.6*10^-19 C)(5.860*10^6 m/s)(1.38 T)

ANS=1.29*10^-12 N

2. Using Amax=Fmax/ m

Amax =(1.29*10^-12 N) / (1.67*10^-27 kg)

ANS=1.93*10^15 m/s^2*

3. No, the acceleration wouldn't be the same. Since The magnitude of the electron is equal to that of the proton, but the direction would be in the opposite direction and also Since an electron has a smaller mass than a proton

How would the period of a simple pendulum be affected if it were located on the moon instead of the earth?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

On moon time period will become 2.45 times of the time period on earth

Explanation:

Time period of simple pendulum is equal to $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ ....eqn 1 here l is length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity on earth
