Distinguish between speed and velocity.

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 a simple RC circuit, at t=0 the switch is closed with the capacitor uncharged. If C=30µF, =50V and R=10k, what is the poten

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Voltage across the capacitor is 30 V and rate of energy across the capacitor is 0.06 W

Explanation:

As we know that the current in the circuit at given instant of time is

i = 2.0 mA

R = 10 k ohm

now we know by ohm's law

$V = iR$

$V = (2 mA)(10 kohm)$

$V = 20 volts$

so voltage across the capacitor + voltage across resistor = V

$V_c + 20 = 50$

$V_c = 30 V$

Now we know that

$U = \frac{q^2}{2C}$

here rate of change in energy of the capacitor is given as

$\frac{dU}{dt} = \frac{q}{C} \frac{dq}{dt}$

$\frac{dU}{dt} = (30)(2 mA)$

$\frac{dU}{dt} = 0.06 W$

Which force acts as an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The force is Inertia

Explanation:

The force that acts on an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion is known as Inertia.

In physics the above statement is governed by Newton's first law of motion which is also known as Law of Inertia.

This law states that, an object that is at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line with constant speed, if and only if the net force acting on the object is zero.

This implies that, A stationary object will remain motionless if no force acts on it while a object with constant velocity will continue moving with constant velocity until a force acts on it (neglecting resistance from air and friction).
