Sometimes they are the same in physics. it depends how the question is worded but speed comes before velocity. If you take the derivative of speed you will end up with its velocity. The same goes when you take the integral of velocity.

The most simple difference between velocity and speed is: velocity has both magnitude and direction, while speed only contains magnitude. Hope that helps you.

In being served, a tennis ball is accelerated from rest to a speed of 31.6 m/s. The average power generated during the serve is

joja [24]

Answer:

The force acting on the ball is 92.4 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 31.6 m/s

The average power generated during the serve is 2920 W. Power generated by an object is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

W is the work done, W = Fd

$P=\dfrac{Fd}{t}$

Since, $v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

So,

$P=F\times v$

F is the force acting on the ball

$F=\dfrac{P}{v}\\\\F=\dfrac{2920\ W}{31.6\ m/s}\\\\F = 92.4\ N$

So, the force acting on the ball is 92.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Dmitry [639]

The answer is 0 degrees Celsius (0°C). It will be where the line flat lines the first time. The second time would be the boiling point. An experiment yielded the above temperature and time information. The freezing point of the material in this experiment if the material is a solid at time zero is 0 degrees Celsius (0°C) .
