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. :)

three different-mass projectiles are launched at different angles of elevation from the top of a building. each particle has the

MrRa [10]

The correct option is b. The one with the lowest mass.

An object's kinetic energy is determined by

k=1/2mv^2

where

m is the object's mass.

v is the object's speed.

The three missiles in this puzzle have varying masses but the same beginning kinetic energy.

The three projectiles will all have the same kinetic energy when they hit the ground because mechanical energy is conserved, assuming there is no air resistance (because the potential energy that they have lost is the same, since they have been launched from the same height, and they reach the same final altitude, the ground).

hence,

K1=k2=k3

PLEASE HELP ME Color corresponds to the ______________ of light waves. wave speed cycles wavelength

lorasvet [3.4K]

Wavelength. Each wavelength is a certain color. For instance, shorter wavelengths (like 470nm) will be blue or violet, while longer wavelengths (like 650nm) will be red. Hope this helps! :)

Why is acceleration not constant near the speed of light

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

because when an object approaches the speed of light, it's mass starts to increase exponentially, and would be infinite at the speed of light. It would therefore require MORE than an infinite amount of energy to accelerate even a single electron to the speed of light

Alan starts from his home and walks 1.3 km east to the library. He walks an additional 0.68 km east to a music store. From there

zepelin [54]

Answer: final Displacement = 0 km, total distance covered =7 km

Explanation:

Given the following :

From home to library = 1.3 km East

Library to music store = 0.68km East

Music store to friend's house = 1.1km North

Friend's house to grocery store = 0.42 km North

Displacement is the net change in distance traveled.

Eastward distance :

To = (1.3 + 0.68)km = 1.98km East

Fro = (0.68 + 1.3)km = 1.98 km East

Δ distance = (1.98 - 1.98) = 0

Northward direction:

To = (1.1 + 0.42)km = 1.52km north

Fro = (0.42 + 1.1)km = 1.52km North

Δ distance = (1.98 - 1.98) = 0

Hence final Displacement = 0

Total distance covered = 2 × (1.3 + 0.68 + 1.1 + 0.42) = 2 × 3.5

= 7km
