Discrete systems are those systems in which are made up of finite component particles a which are non-homogeneously arranged such that no smooth variation exists. It is such that all constituent particles have properties which vary randomly. They are direct opposite to continuous systems, which are smooth arrangement of particles which cannot be individually taken into consideration.

Interesting question. I think it's a question of scale. After all, charge is "discrete" or "quantised" into electronic charges.
So, relatively few of them - eg in an atom - would be discrete.
A lot of them - eg in an electric current - would be "continuous" (or an avalanche of discretes = a continuum ... )

Which BEST describes the difference between speed and velocity?
kirill [66]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Explanation :

Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.

Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.

The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

f= 7.8Hz

Explanation:

a= 12g= 120m/s²

a= ω²r

120= ω²×0.05

ω= 48.99 rad/s

2πf= 48.99

f= 7.8Hz
