Speed is the size (absolute value) of the velocity.

Speed is a scalar.  Velocity is a vector.

The rate (in cubic feet per hour) that a spherical snowball melts is proportional to the snowball's volume raised to the 2/3 pow
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.

Explanation:

As we can assume that the rate of  snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:

T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr

A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:

A=4.pi.R^2

Then dividing the areas:

A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) =  (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9

Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:

T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr

(11%) Problem 5: A uniform stationary ladder of length L = 2.7 m and mass M = 11 kg leans against a smooth vertical wall, while
jeka94

Answer:

970.2 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Length of ladder=2.7 m

Mass,M=11 kg

Coefficient of friction=\mu=0.45

\theta=51^{\circ}

Mass of painter=8M

Distance from base=d

We have to find the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the floor on the ladder.

Normal force exerted by floor on the ladder=mg+8mg=9mg

Where g=9.8m/s^2

Normal force exerted by floor on the ladder=9\times 11\times 9.8=970.2N

A bicyclist travels at 15 miles per hour south. After 10 minutes, the cyclist is traveling at 20 miles per hour south. Which is
denpristay [2]
<span>By adding "south", the speed had both magnitude AND direction, becoming a vector, not a scalar which generic "speed" is. So the second option can be eliminated. Let's analyze the other part(s). A velocity is a distance/time. Do we have that? Yes! -> miles/hour. So, velocity is an option that theoretically fits this question. Buttt... It gives us a time, and acceleration is a change in a velocity (speed, with a direction)/time. So because it says "after 10 minutes", we consider the big picture to be talking about the change in velocity during that time span, which is simplified as "the acceleration" over that time. :)</span>
