<h3>2 Answers:</h3>

a) Velocity is a vector quantity

e) Velocity is a speed with direction

=================================================

Explanation:

If we know the velocity of an object, then we know how fast it's going (speed) and where it's going (direction). It is a vector because the direction of the vector determines the direction, and the length of the vector (aka magnitude) determines the speed. So in a sense we've built in two facts of data into one visual.

An example of velocity: 10 miles per hour north. Here we have the speed of 10 mph and the direction north.

-------------------

Extra info:

  • Choice B contradicts choice A, so we can cross choice B off the list.
  • Choice C is false because speed is a scalar, or single quantity, and not a vector. As mentioned earlier, speed is a part of velocity, but they aren't the same exact thing.
  • Choice D is false because the velocity does not account for net force. We don't have any force information built into the velocity.

A ball is launched from ground level at 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above the
DedPeter [7]

(a) The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is given by

<em>y</em> = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

0 = <em>t</em> ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> )

<em>t</em> = 0   or   (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> = 0

The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.

(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 <em>g t</em>

<em>t</em> = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> ≈ 2.6 s

(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration <em>g</em>. So

0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) <em>y</em>

where <em>y</em> in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2<em>g</em>)

<em>y</em> ≈ 8.4 m
