When reporting the speed, we need to include the value, units and direction the object was traveling.
1 answer:
False: when reporting speed, only value and units are needed, not the direction
Explanation:
Let's start by reminding the difference between speed and velocity:
- Speed is a scalar quantity which tells "how fast" an object is moving, regardless of its direction of motion.
It can be calculated as: follows:
where :
d is the distance travelled
t is the time interval
Therefore, speed has no direction, so it is written only as a value followed by units: for example, 5 m/s.
- Velocity is a vector quantity given by:
where :
d is the displacement of the object (which is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion)
t is the time interval
Since it is a vector, velocity has both magnitude and direction, therefore it also takes into account the direction of motion of the object. An example of velocity is 5 m/s east, where the direction is also specificied.

The centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.The direction of the centripetal force is always in the path of the center of the course.
<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>The force needed to move a body in a curved way is understood as centripetal force. This is a force that can be sensed from both the fixed frame and the spinning body's frame of concern.
The given data in the problem is;
m is the mass of A ball = 0.25 kg
r is the radius of circle= 1.6 m rope
v is the tangential speed = 12.2 m/s
is the centripetal force acting on the ball
The centripetal force is found as;
Hence the centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.
