Answer:

B) The speed is constant and velocity is changing.

Explanation:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken. In this case, the speed is constant, and it is 110 km/h.

- Velocity is a vector quantity, which consists of a) a magnitude (which is the speed) and b) a direction. In this problem, the speed is constant, however the velocity is changing, because the direction of the car is changing at every moment (in fact, the track is a circle, so the direction is always changing).

what is the difference between kinetic energy and random motion of a cylider of oxygen carried by a car and one standing on a pl
pochemuha

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

If we are talking about the kinetic energy of the cylinder of oxygen:

The kinetic energy possessed by any object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this case, we have one cylinder carried by a car and one standing on a platform: this means that the speed of the cylinder carried by the car will be different from zero (and so also its kinetic energy will be different from zer), while the speed of the cylinder standing on the platform will be zero (and so its kinetic energy also zero). Therefore, the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car will be larger than that standing on a platform.

Instead, if we are talking about the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the molecules of oxygen inside the cylinder:

The kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas:

K=\frac{3}{2}kT

where k is called Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. Therefore, we see that K does not depend on whether the gas is in motion or not, but only on its temperature - therefore, in this case there is no difference between the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car and that standing on the platform (assuming they are at the same temperature)

After a fall, a 90 kg rock climber finds himself dangling from the end of a rope that had been 16 m long and 7.8 mm in diameter
Nesterboy [21]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the rock climber, m = 90 kg

Original length of the rock, L = 16 m

Diameter of the rope, d = 7.8 mm

Stretched length of the rope, \Delta L=3.1\ cm

(a) The change in length per unit original length is called strain. So,

\text{strain}=\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}\\\\\text{strain}=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-2}}{16}\\\\\text{strain}=0.00193

(b) The force acting per unit area is called stress.

\text{stress}=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\\text{stress}=\dfrac{90\times 10}{\pi (3.9\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\\\text{stress}=1.88\times 10^7\ Pa

(c) The ratio of stress to the strain is called Young's modulus. So,

Y=\dfrac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}}\\\\Y=\dfrac{1.88\times 10^7}{0.00193}\\\\Y=9.74\times 10^9\ N/m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

The angle a vector makes with the x-axis of a coordinate system must be what size in order to make one or more of its components
Ostrovityanka [42]
The 1st quadrant (0-90 degrees) is the only quadrant where none of the components are negative, so that means that any angle larger than 90 degrees will result in one of the components being negative.
