Answer by mimiwhatsup: B) Velocity is a vector and requires a direction to completely describe it.

Velocity is the speed and direction of an object in motion.

Explanation:

Speed : It is defined as the overall distance travelled by an object divided by total time taken. The mathematical expression is given by :

s=\dfrac{d}{t}

It is a scalar quantity i.e. it has only magnitude.

Velocity : It is defined as the total displacement (D) of the particle divided by total time taken. It can be given by :

v=\dfrac{D}{t}

It is a vector quantity. It have both magnitude and direction.

Out of given options, the statement that best explains the difference between velocity and speed is (B) i.e. "Velocity is a vector and requires a direction to completely describe it".

evablogger [386]

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t

A skateboarder flies horizontally off a cement planter. After a time of 3 seconds (Δt), he lands with a final velocity (v) of −4.5 m/s. Assuming the acceleration is -9.8 m/s² (a), we can calculate the initial velocity of the skateboarder (v₀) using the kinematic equation A.

v = v_o + a \Delta t\\\\v_o = v - a \Delta t = (-4.5 m/s) - (-9.8 m/s^{2} ) \times 3 s = 24.9 m/s

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t

nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

[O]=1s^22s^22p^4

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6

O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

    q = q₀ sin (wt)

Explanation:

In your statement it is not clear the type of circuit you are referring to, there are two possibilities.

1) The circuit of this problem is a system formed by an Ac voltage source and a capacitor, in this case all the voltage of the source is equal to the voltage at the terminals of the capacitor

                    ΔV = ΔV_{C}

we assume that the source has a voltage of the form

                    ΔV = ΔV₀o sin wt

The capacitance of a capacitor is

                   C = q / ΔV

                  q = C ΔV sin wt

the current in the circuit is

                    i = dq / dt

                    i = c ΔV₀ w cos wt

if we use

                  cos wt = sin (wt + π / 2)

we make this change by being a resonant oscillation

we substitute

                  i = w C ΔV₀ sin (wt + π/2)

With this answer we see that the current in capacitor has a phase factor of π/2 with respect to the current

2) Another possible circuit is an LC circuit.

In this case the voltage alternates between the inductor and the capacitor

                     V_{L} + V_{C} = 0

                      L di / dt + q / C = 0

the current is

                      i = dq / dt

                       

they ask us for a solution so that

                    L d²q / dt² + 1 / C q = 0

                     d²q / dt² + 1 / LC q = 0

this is a quadratic differential equation with solution of the form

                    q = A sin (wt + Ф)

to find the constant we derive the proposed solution and enter it into the equation

                di / dt = Aw cos (wt + Ф)

                d²i / dt²= - A w² sin (wt + Ф)

                 - A w² + 1 /LC  A = 0

                  w = √ (1 / LC)

To find the phase factor, for this we use the initial conditions for t = 0

in the case of condensate for t = or the charge is zero

                 0 = A sin Ф

                  Ф = 0

             

                  q = q₀ sin (wt)
