What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration

Physics
1 answer:
melamori03 [73]3 years ago
3 0

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

the answer is A.) -1 * 10^3[N]

Explanation:

The solution consists of two steps, the first step is using the following kinematic equation:

v=v_{i} +a*t\\where:\\v=final velocity [m/s]\\v_{i}=initial velocity [m/s]\\a=acceleration[m/^2]\\t=time[s]\\

The initial velocity is 10 [m/s], and the final velocity is zero because the car stops in 0.5[s].

Replacing:

0=10+a*(0.5)\\a=-20[m/s^2]

Now in the second part, we need to use the second law of Newton, this law relates the forces with the acceleration of a body.

In the moment when the car stops suddenly the driver will feel the force of the seatbelt acting in the opposite direction of the movement.

F=m*a\\F=50[kg]*(-20[m/s^2])\\units\[kg]*[m/s^2]=[N]\\F=-1000[N] or -1*10^{3} [N]

The minus sign means that the force is acting in the opposite direction of the movement.

A(n) 0.47 kg softball is pitched at a speed of 10 m/s. The batter hits it back directly at the pitcher at a speed of 29 m/s. The
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

18.33 Ns

Explanation:

As the pitch back speed has the opposite direction as before, the change in velocity would be

\Delta v = v_2 - v_1 = 29 - (-10) = 39 m/s

So the change in momentum of the ball would be the product of its velocity change and its mass

\Delta p = \Delta v m = 39 * 0.47 = 18.33 kgm/s

This is equals to the impulse acted on the ball by the bat, which is 18.33 Ns

A violin string is 45.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.242 g. When tightened on the neck of the violin, the distance between the pi
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}} (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

v= \lambda f (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}=\lambda f

Solving for T

T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L} (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic N_{harmonic} is:

\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}

T=75.22 N

Why is electrical energy considered as potential energy as its the energy of moving electrons?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: When the electrons move in another direction, they convert this chemical potential energy to electricity in the circuit, thus discharging the battery. So, the battery is all potential energy.
