Answer:

Car speedometer only measures speed and doesn't give any information about direction. So yes to speed, no to velocity.

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time. This means that as long as the forces are not zero, the velocity should be changing. The can be negative (as this is negative acceleration also known as deceleration) or positive (known as acceleration). It doesn't matter if they are decimals or fractions.

When a ball is launched from the ground at a 45° angle to the horizontal, it falls back to the ground 50 m from the launch point

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

angle through which ball is launched $=45^{\circ}$

Range of ball=50 m

Range of projectile is $=\frac{u^2sin2\theta }{g}$

$50=\frac{u^2sin90}{9.8}$

u=22.136 m/s

If ball is thrown straight upward

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$0-(22.136)^2=2(-9.8)s$

$s=\frac{22.136^2}{2\times 9.8}$

s=25 m

(b)For Projectile time of flight is

$t=\frac{2usin\theta }{g}$

$t=\frac{2\times 22.136\times sin45}{9.8}$

t=3.19 s

In a parallel portion of a series-parallel circuit, the voltage across the branches can be found by multiplying the sum of the b

Julli [10]

Answer:

It's true.

Explanation:

It's true. When we connect two resistors in parallel the current is divided between the two in such a way that the sum of the currents on each resistor should be equal to the current on that branch. By finding the equivalent resistance we can use Ohm's law to determine the voltage drop across the resistors. This voltage drop is the same for both, since they're connected in parallel.

Write down the principal of lever

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

A lever is a simple machine that changes the magnitude and direction of the force applied to move an object. Minimizes the force needed to lift the object.

By means of the following image, we can see the principle of operation of a lever.

The load can be moved thanks to the force multiplied by the distance to the fulcrum.
