Which best defines the relationship between speed and velocity?

1 answer:

7 0

Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it has no direction. Velocity is a vector, meaning that it has a specific direction associated with it.

Many people use these interchangeably, but it is not always correct to do so.

The answer is apparent weight is zero.

You are still accelerating downwards at 9.8m/s^2 (if you are on Earth).

You still are being affected by the Earth's gravity.

Not all because of the previous two statements.

Not none because apparent weight is zero as you are falling.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 950 N/m is attached to a wall. An athlete presses against the free end of the spring, c

OLga [1]

Answer:

66.5N

Explanation:

F = kx

Where F = force

K = spring constant

x = compression

Given

K = 950N/m

x = 7.0cm

F = ?

First convert the compression to meters .

7.0cm = 7.0 x 0.01

= 0.07 meters

Therefore

F = 950 x 0.07

= 66.5N

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. The waves move at 59 km/h and have a wavelength of 145 m . Th

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave is 4.46 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of the wave, v = 59 km/h = 16.38 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, $\lambda=145\ m$

If f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{16.38\ m/s}{145\ m}\\\\f=0.112\ Hz$

The time period of the wave is given by :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{0.112\ Hz}\\\\T=8.92\ s$

We need to find the time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave. So, the time will be half of the time period of the wave.

$T=\dfrac{8.92}{2}\\\\T=4.46\ s$

Hence, this is the required solution.
