I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The air traffic controller is describing the airplane's velocity. Velocity<span> is a physical vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

The correct answer for this is B. Velocity. To find velocity you need the speed and direction, what we have. Sorry for the wait, Good luck :)

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 24.8 m/s in 7.88 s along a level stretch of road. Ignoring friction, determine the aver
nevsk [136]

Answer:

When he weight of the car is 8.55 x 10^{3} N then power = 314.012 KW

When he weight of the car is 1.10 x 10^{4}  N then power =  43.76 KW

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity V_{1} = 0

Final velocity V_{2} = 24.8 \frac{m}{s}

Time = 7.88 sec

We know that power required to accelerate the car is given by

P = \frac{change \ in \ kinetic \ energy}{time}

Change in kinetic energy Δ K.E = \frac{1}{2} m (V_{2}^{2} - V_{1}^{2}   )

Since Initial velocity V_{1} = 0

⇒ Δ K.E = \frac{1}{2} m V_{2}  ^{2}

⇒ Power P = \frac{1}{2} \frac{m}{t}  V_{2} ^{2}

⇒ Power P = \frac{1}{2} \frac{W}{g\ t}  V_{2} ^{2}   -------- (1)

(a). The weight of the car is 8.55 x 10^{3} N = 8550 N

Put all the values in above formula

So power P = \frac{1}{2} \frac{8550}{(9.81)\ (7.88)} (24.8) ^{2}

P = 314.012 KW

(b). The weight of the car is 1.10 x 10^{4} N = 11000 N

Put all the values in equation (1) we get

P = \frac{1}{2} \frac{11000}{(9.81)\ (7.88)} (24.8) ^{2}

P = 43.76 KW

HELP. what is the speed of a boat in miles per hour that travels 20 miles in 45 minutes?
Minchanka [31]

Average speed  =  (distance covered)  /  (time to cover the distance)

                          =          (20 miles)   /   (45 minutes)

Multiply that fraction by  (60 minutes / 1 hour) .
This is equal to ' 1 ', so you won't change anything except the units.

                         =          (20 miles / 45 minutes) times (60 minutes / 1 hour)

Multiply the fractions, then cancel 'minutes' out of
the numerator and denominator.

     =  (20 miles  x  60) / (45  x  1 hour)

     =     (20 x 60 / 45)  miles/hour

     =        26-2/3 miles/hour .
