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. :)

A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x
sattari [20]
If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

Earth is about 150 million kilometers from the Sun, and the apparent brightness of the Sun in our sky is about 1300 watts/m2. Us
nalin [4]

Answer:

13 W/m^2

Explanation:

The apparent brightness follows an inverse square law, therefore we can write:

I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}

where I is the apparent brightness and r is the distance from the Sun.

We can also rewrite the law as

\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} (1)

where in this problem, we have:

I_1 = 1300 W/m^2 apparent brightness at a distance r_1, where

r_1 = 150 million km

We want to estimate the apparent brightness at r_2, where r_2 is ten times r_1, so

r_2 = 10 r_1

Re-arranging eq.(1), we find I_2:

I_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}I_1 = \frac{r_1^2}{(10r_1)^2}(1300)=\frac{1}{100}(1300)=13 W/m^2

A circular window of 30 cm diameter in a submarine can withstand a maximum force of 5.20 × 105 N. The maximum depth in a lake to
Svetach [21]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         F = 5.20 \times 10^{5} N

         g = 9.8 m/s

         radius = \frac{diameter}{2}

                    = \frac{30 cm}{2} = 15 cm = 0.15 m   (as 1 m = 100 cm)

Formula to calculate depth is as follows.

        F = \rho \times g \times h \times A

or,      h = \frac{F}{\rho \times g \times A}        

       h = \frac{5.2 \times 10^{5}}{1000 \times 9.8 \times (3.1416 \times (0.15 m^{2})}

           = 751 m

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum depth in a lake to which the submarine can go without damaging the window is closest 750 m.
