Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves direction.

Answer: Direction

Explanation

Average speed involves taking only the magnitude in the calculation of the distance traveled and the time required whereas Average velocity takes both magnitude and direction in the calculation by taking the displacement occurred with total time.

Therefore, average speed, scalar quantity and average velocity, a vector quantity.

Scalar quantities are physical quantities considering magnitude whereas vector quantities are physical quantities considering magnitude and direction.

Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)

An object ends up at a final position of x=-55.25 meters after a displacement of -189.34 meters after a displacement of -189.34
Travka [436]

The initial position of the object was found to be 134.09 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As displacement is the measure of difference between the final and initial points. In other words, we can say that displacement can be termed as the change in the position of the object irrespective of the path followed by the object to change the path. So

Displacement = Final position - Initial position.

As the final position is stated as -55.25 meters and the displacement is also stated as -189.34 meters. So the initial position will be

Initial position of the object = Final position-Displacement

Initial position = -55.25 m - (-189.34 m) = -55.25 m + 189.34 m = 134.09 m.

Thus, the initial position for the object having a displacement of -189.34 m is determined as 134.09 m.

A homing pigeon starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at +4.00 m/s squared for 10.0 seconds. What is its velocity after the
zavuch27 [327]
'  +4 m/s² ' means that the pigeon's speed is  4 m/s greater every second.

Starting from zero speed, after 10 seconds, its speed is 

                           (10 x 4m/s)  =  40 m/s.

We can't say anything about its velocity, because we have
no information regarding the direction of its flight.

A 15 g turntable is covered with a uniform layer of dry ice that has a mass of 9.0 g. The angular speed of the turntable and dry
pychu [463]

Answer:

1.2 rad/s

Explanation:

m1 = 15 g, m2 = 9 g, ω1 = 0.75 rad/s

Let the new angular speed is ω2 and the radius of the table be r.

The angular momentum is conserved when no external torque is applied.

I1 ω1 = I2 ω2

(m1 + m2)x r^2 x 0.75 = m1 x r^2 x ω2

(15 + 9) x 0.75 = 15 x ω2

ω2 = 1.2 rad/s
