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. :)

You drive a car for 2.0 h at 60 km/h, then for another 3.0 h at 85 km/h. What is your average velocity
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average velocity is found in the total displacement experienced in the trip divided by the total time it took to make this trip. If, for the first 2.0 hours, the car travels at 60 km/hr, then in 2.0 hours the car can travel 120 km; if it then travels for 3.0 at 85 km/hr, it can travel 255 km in the same direction. The total time this took was 5.0 hours. So doing the math and rounding correctly by following the rules for the adding and subtracting of sig fig's:

v=\frac{120+255}{5.0}=\frac{380}{5.0}=76\frac{km}{hr}

If you do not round when you add, the average velocity is 75 km/hr

What happened to the weight of an object when it is taken from Earth to the Moon? why?<br>​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

the weight of the object decreases when it is taken from the Earth to the Moon

Explanation:

The weight of an object is defined as the product of the mass of the object with the acceleration due to gravity of the Planet.

W =mg

where,

W = weight of the object

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet

The mass of an object remains constant everywhere in the universe. Therefore, the weight is directly proportional to the value of acceleration due to gravity.

The value of acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is lesser than its value on the Earth.

<u>Hence, the weight of the object decreases when it is taken from the Earth to the Moon </u>

What is mean by gravitational force​
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<u>Gravitational Force</u> is a force that attracks two objects with mass. For example, you are being pulled onto this planet, and that's why when you jump upwards, you fall back down quickly. A fun fact is that every object, even the entire universe, are pulling all on each other, including you!
