Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?

1 answer:

3 0

The boat traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

Explanation:

Velocity is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of displacement with time.

Velocity = $\frac{Displacement}{time taken}$

The quantity differs from speed in that it has both magnitude and direction.

From the options given above:

Displacement: The boat traveled in the north direction from the dock to a 200m mark.

Time taken: approximately less than 5 minutes was the duration of traveling.

This describes the boat's velocity accurately.

If you are holding a book and you let go of it, why does it fall? Explain in terms of forces, potential energy, and kinetic ener

inessss [21]

Answer:

Let the mass of the book be "m", acceleration due to gravity be "g", velocity be "v" and height be "h".

Now if we are holding a book at a certain height (h), the potential energy will be maximum which is equal to mass× acceleration due to gravity× height (= mgh).

(Remember: kinetic energy =0)

Now we consider that the book is dropped, in this case a force will act downward towards the centre of the earth, Force= mass× acceleration due to gravity (F=mg). It is equal to the weight of the book.

While the book is falling, the potential energy stored in the book converts into kinetic energy and strikes the floor with the maximum kinetic energy= (1/2)×mass×velocity² (=1/2mv²).

(Remember: kinetic energy=0)

Due to this process the whole energy is conserved.

As the potential energy decreases kinetic energy increases.

A hydraulic lift has pistons with diameter 28cm and 70cm, respectively. If a force of 500 N is exerted at the input piston. What

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3125 N

Explanation:

diameter /2 =radius

so r1 =14cm , r2 =35cm

f1/A1 =f2/A2.

f2 = f1 × A2 / A1

=500×1225 pi cm² / 96 pi cm²

f2 =3125N

Anna drew a diagram to compare the strong and weak force. Which labels belong in the areas marked X, Y, and Z? X: infinite range

Maslowich

Answer:

For areas marked X, Y, Z, X is attractive only, Y has a very small range, and Z is attractive and repulsive

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

From the question stated, Anna drew a diagram to compare forces that are strong and weak.

Now,

We are to find which labels are grouped in areas marked as X, Y, Z respectively.

Thus,

For X, Y, Z it is marked as:

X: Always attractive or attractive only

Y: Very small range

Z: Repulsive and attractive
