Answers:</h3>
a) Velocity is a vector quantity
e) Velocity is a speed with direction
=================================================
Explanation:
If we know the velocity of an object, then we know how fast it's going (speed) and where it's going (direction). It is a vector because the direction of the vector determines the direction, and the length of the vector (aka magnitude) determines the speed. So in a sense we've built in two facts of data into one visual.
An example of velocity: 10 miles per hour north. Here we have the speed of 10 mph and the direction north.
-------------------
Extra info:
- Choice B contradicts choice A, so we can cross choice B off the list.
- Choice C is false because speed is a scalar, or single quantity, and not a vector. As mentioned earlier, speed is a part of velocity, but they aren't the same exact thing.
- Choice D is false because the velocity does not account for net force. We don't have any force information built into the velocity.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
From the analogy of the problem we are made to know that "a man standing on the earth can exert the same force with his legs as when he is standing on the moon".
This force he is exerting is due to his weight. If he can have the same weight on the earth and moon, therefore:
weight = mass x acceleration due gravity
His mass and acceleration due to gravity on both terrestrial bodies are the same.
So, his jump height will be the same on earth and on the moon.
In summary, we have been shown that his mass and the acceleration due to gravity on both planets are the same, therefore, his weight will also be the same. His jump height will also be same.
