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. :)

What happens to solar radiation when it is absorbed

Zanzabum

Answer:

Absorbed sunlight is balanced by heat radiated from Earth's surface and atmosphere. ... The atmosphere radiates heat equivalent to 59 percent of incoming sunlight; the surface radiates only 12 percent. In other words, most solar heating happens at the surface, while most radiative cooling happens in the atmosphere

Explain the following behaviour of molecules water rises up in a harrow tubes but mercury which is also a liquid falls in a narr

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

The capillarity of water molecules is different from the mercury molecules.

What is capillarity ?

This is the tendency of a liquid substance to rise in a capillary tube.

Molecules water rises up in a harrow tubes because of the force of adhesion between the water molecules and the tube molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between the water molecules. This helps water to wet the tube and rise. While mercury which is also a liquid falls in a narrow tubes to level below the outside surface because the force of cohesion between the mercury molecules is greater than the force of adhesion between the mercury molecules and the tube molecules. Mercury does not wet.

24 A uniform electric field of magnitude 1.1×104 N/C is perpendicular to a square sheet with sides 2.0 m long. What is the elect

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$44,000 Nm^2/C$

Explanation:

The electric flux through a certain surface is given by (for a uniform field):

$\Phi = EA cos \theta$

where:

E is the magnitude of the electric field

A is the area of the surface

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the field and of the normal to the surface

In this problem, we have:

$E=1.1\cdot 10^4 N/C$ is the electric field

L = 2.0 m is the side of the sheet, so the area is

$A=L^2=(2.0)^2=4.0 m^2$

$\theta=0^{\circ}$ , since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface

Therefore, the electric flux is

$\Phi =(1.1\cdot 10^4)(4.0)(cos 0^{\circ})=44,000 Nm^2/C$

The light intensity incident on a metallic surface with a work function of 1.88 eV produces photoelectrons with a maximum kineti

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

KE = KE (incidental) - KE of emitted photons

or KE = h * f - Wf

So h * f = KE + Wf = 1.2 + 1.88 = 3.08 incident energy

If you double the frequency then h * f = 6.16

KE = 6.16 - 1.2 = 4.96 eV

A 1500 kg elevator, suspended by a single cable with tension 16.0 kN, is measured to be moving upward at 1.2 m/s. Air resistance

kirill115 [55]

Tension in the Cable is 0.87 m/s6^2, Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m is 1.6*10^5 N, Work done by gravity is 1.47 * 10^3 N, Elevator Kinetic Energy is 13897.5J and Elevator Speed after rising to 10m is 4.312 m/s.

Tension is a pulling force that operates in one dimension along the cables' axes in the opposite direction from the direction of the applied force. The combined weight of the elevator box and the passenger riding inside it, in the case of an elevator, provides the pulling force in the cables is called Tension.

A moving object or particle's kinetic energy, which depends on both mass and speed, is one of its characteristics. The type of motion can be vibration, translation, rotation around an axis, or any combination of these. Kinetic energy is a type of energy that an item or particle possesses as a result of motion.

We know that,

Tension in the Cable

T = m(g+a) = g+a = T/m = 16 * 103 / 1500 = 10.67 m/s2

a = 10.67 - 9.8 = 0.87 m/s6^2

Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m.

U^2 = u^2 +2as

= 1.22 +2*0.87*10

=1.6*10^5 N

Work done by gravity = mg * 10 = 14700 * 10 = 1.47 * 10^3 N

Elevator Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2*1500*18.53 = 13897.5J

Elevator Speed after rising to 10m ,

U^2 = u^2 +2as = 1.2 +2*0.87*10 = 18.6

U =(18.6)^1/2=4.312 m/s
