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. :)

An object of 4 cm length is placed at a distance of 18 cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 30 cm. Find the pos

erica [24]

Answer:

The position is 8.18cm from the mirror.

Nature is b=virtual

Size is 1.82cm

Explanation:

Note that for a convex mirror, the image distance and the focal length are negative;

Given

Object height H0 = 4cm

object distance u = 18cm

Radius of curvature R = 30cm

Since f = R/2

f = 30/2

f = -15cm

Recall that:

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{-15}=\frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{v} \\\frac{1}{v} =\frac{1}{-15} -\frac{1}{18}\\ \frac{1}{v} = \frac{-18-15}{270}\\\frac{1}{v} = \frac{-33}{270}\\v=\frac{-270}{33}\\v=-8.18cm$

Since the image distance is negative, this shows that the image is a virtual image.

To get the size:

$\frac{H_1}{H_0}=\frac{v}{u}\\\frac{H_1}{4}=\frac{8.18}{18}\\18H_i=32.72\\H_i=\frac{32.72}{18}\\H_i= 1.82cm$

A child kicks a ball horizontally with a speed of 4.8 m/s off a deck 3.5 m off the ground. How far, in meters, from the deck doe

Vesna [10]

Answer:

2.605m

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Range (distance travelled in horizontal direction)

Range R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 4.8m/s

H is the maximum height = ?

g is the acc due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

R = 3.5m

Substitute into the formula and get H

3.5 = 4.8√2H/9.8

3.5/4.8 = √2H/9.8

0.7292 = √2H/9.8

square both sides

0.7292² = 2H/9.8

2H = 0.7292² * 9.8

2H = 5.21

H = 5.21/2

H = 2.605m

Hence the height of the ball from the ground is 2.605m
