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".

1. If a car travels East 60 km for 4 hours. What was the velocity of the car?
True [87]

Answer:

15km/h East (15m/s East option)

Explanation:

Velocity = (change in) Distance/(change in) Time

The distance here is 60km, and the time is 4h, as given by the question. Therefore the velocity is 60km/4h = 15km/h.

To convert km/h to m/s, we just divide the value by 3.6, 15/3.6= 4.17m/s (2dp), which isn't actually an option here, so I'm assuming maybe a mistake in unit for the question?

'Velocity' is a vector quantity, meaning it has a size<em> </em>and a direction, as opposed to speed, a scalar quantity, which only has size. Therefore we need to add a direction for it to be velocity. The given direction here is east, so the velocity of the car is 15km/h East. (I would choose the 15m/s East as the question likely has a unit error and is closest.)

Hope this helped!

Nitromethane (ch3no2) burns in air to produce significant amounts of heat. 2 ch3no2(l) + 3 2 o2( g) ¡ 2 co2( g) + 3 h2o(l) + n2
ANEK [815]

From the balanced reaction, we are given that 1418 kJ of heat is released for every 2 moles of nitromethane (CH3NO2) reacted.

So first calculate the moles of CH3NO2:

moles CH3NO2 = 5560 g / (61.04 g/mol)

moles CH3NO2 = 91.1 mol

 

So total heat released is:

total heat = (-1418 kJ / 2mol) * 91.1 mol

<span>total heat = -129,162.52 kJ = -129.16 MJ</span>

The layers that make up the upper mantle are the following.

  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle.
  • The rocky outer part of the Earth is called the lithosphere.
  • It is very rigid, solid, and it is not as hot as the other parts.
  • According to scientists, its thickness is about 90 to 100 kilometers from the surface of the earth.
  • The layer of the Earth that moves the lithospheric plates is called the asthenosphere.
  • Lithospheric plates are 60 miles long on average and are composed of continental crust.

We conclude that the lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle. The new lithosphere is being created at oceanic ridges due to plate tectonics. Yes, planet Earth is getting larger constantly.

Acceleration actually means ANY change in speed OR direction. If the car isn't moving in a straight line, then its direction is changing. That means it's accelerating, even if its speed isn't changing.
