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 kind of wave (transverse of longitudinal) is each of the following and why?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.) Longitudinal waves

2.) Transverse waves

3.) Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

The sound of one whale calling another whale underwater.  is a longitudinal wave since the medium, in this case the body of water, is vibrating parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A pulse sent down a stretched rope by snapping one end of it. ( transverse wave) because its oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

The vibrations in a guitar string

Longitudinal wave. Because its oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

An object moves in uniform circular motion at 25 m/s and takes 1.0 second to go a quarter circle. What is the radius of the circ
FromTheMoon [43]
Object Motion: 25 m/s

Circumference of Circle: 
1/4 Circumference of Circle in 1 second = 25 meters
25 meters times 4 = Circumference of Circle 
Circumference = 100 meters

Formula to Find Circumference of Circle: (work opposite)
C = 2<span>πr

100 = </span>2πr          divided
100/2π = r         simplify
50/π = r         (exact radius)

Answer:
50/π meters = r         (exact radius)

The value of 1.0004 to the power 1 by 2 using Binomial approximation is​
IgorLugansk [536]

Given:

The given value is (1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}.

To find:

The value of the given expression by using the Binomial approximation.

Explanation:

We have,

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}

It can be written as:

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=(1+0.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0004      [\because (1+x)^n=1+nx]

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+0.0002

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1.0002

Therefore, the approximate value of the given expression is 1.0002.
