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.

An object is placed near a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of magnitude 60 cm. How far should you place the object f

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

u = 18 cm

Explanation:

given,

radius of curvature = 60 cm

magnification of mirror = 2.5

distance of object = ?

R = 2 f

f = R/2

f = 60/2 = 30 cm

$m = -\dfrac{v}{u}$

$2.5 = -\dfrac{v}{u}$

v = -2.5 u

now,

Using mirror formula

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{v} + \dfrac{1}{u}$

$\dfrac{1}{30} = \dfrac{1}{-2.5u} + \dfrac{1}{u}$

$\dfrac{1}{30} = \dfrac{0.6}{u}$

u = 0.6 x 30

u = 18 cm

distance of object be equal to u = 18 cm

A large container contains a large amount of water. A hole is drilled on the wall of the container, at a vertical distance h = 0

hammer [34]

Speed can be found through the application of concepts related to potential energy and kinetic energy, for which you have

$KE = PE$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

g = Gravitational acceleration

h = Height

Re-arrange to find the velocity we have,

$v^2 = 2gh$

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(0.54)}$

$v = 3.253m/s$

Therefore the speed at which water squirts out of the hole is .3253m/s

Assume that the Styrofoam slab and the fur are both initially neutral, and that the slab charged negatively after it is rubbed w

BARSIC [14]

Charging phenomenon is basically transfer of electrons from one system to other. When a system loses the electrons the it becomes positively charged and when a system gains electrons then it will become negatively charged

so here if slab is rub against fur then one of them will lose the electrons while other will gain the electrons and hence one will get negatively charged and other will get positive charge

Here it is given that slab get negatively charged so correct options are

<em>3. Electrons move from the fur to the slab. </em>

<em>6. The fur becomes positive after rubbing the slab. </em>

The horizontal speed of the object 1.0 seconds later is 1) 5.0 m/s.

Explanation:

The motion of an object thrown horizontally off a cliff is a projectile motion, which follows a parabolic path that consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

This means that the horizontal speed of an object in projectile motion does not change, and remains constant during the whole motion.

Since in this case the object has been launched with a horizontal speed of

v = 5.0 m/s

this means that this speed will remain constant during the motion, so its horizontal speed 1.0 s later is also 5.0 m/s.
