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 will happen when two wave pulses that are the same size approach one another from opposite directions?
xenn [34]
When two or more waves meet, they interact with each other. The interaction of waves with other waves is called wave interference. Wave interference may occur when two waves that are traveling in opposite directions meet. The two waves pass through each other, and this affects their amplitude.

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 26 cm apart.
mezya [45]

Answer: 2.49×10^-3 N/m

Explanation: The force per unit length that two wires exerts on each other is defined by the formula below

F/L = (u×i1×i2) / (2πr)

Where F/L = force per meter

u = permeability of free space = 1.256×10^-6 mkg/s^2A^2

i1 = current on first wire = 57A

i2 = current on second wire = 57 A

r = distance between both wires = 26cm = 0.26m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

Force per meter = (1.256×10^-6×57×57)/ 2×3.142 ×0.26

= 4080.744×10^-6/ 1.634

= 4.080×10^-3 / 1.634

= 2.49×10^-3 N/m

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

<-0.45, 0, 0> kgm/s

Explanation:

The change in momentum would equal to the impulse generated by force F = <-0.3, 0, 0> over time duration of Δt = 1.5 second. The impulse is defined as the product of force F and the duration Δt

\Delta p = F \Delta t = (-0.3) * 1.5 = -0.45 kgm/s

So the change in momentum is <-0.45, 0, 0> kgm/s
