If you are in motion can you have the same speed as someone else in motion but different velocities? Give an example

Physics
1 answer:
geniusboy [140]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has size and direction, as opposed to speed, a scalar quantity which only has size.

An example is speed may be 30km/h, and an example of velocity is 30km/h East.

Therefore two people can have the same speed and different velocities because they can be traveling in different directions.

For example, you and your friend could be doing shuttles together but you started at one wall and they started at the other, so even though you are running at the same speed, you always have different velocities because they are running in the opposite direction as you.

Hope this helped!

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
cricket20 [7]

Answer;

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent lamps.

Explanation;

-A fluorescent lamp, is a type of electric light (lamp) that uses ultraviolet emitted by mercury vapor to excite a phosphor, which emits visible light.

-A fluorescent lamp produces less heat, thus, it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

-Fluorescent lamps operate best around room temperature. At much lower or higher temperatures, efficacy decreases.

A small water pump is used in an irrigation system. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a rate of 5 kg/s. T
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

\Delta U = Q-W

\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)

Where

\dot{m} = Mass flow

h_1 =Specific Enthalpy (IN)

h_2 = Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

g = Gravity

z_{1,2} = Heigth state (In, OUT)

V_{1,2} =Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

T_i = 10\°C

P_1 = 100kPa

\dot{m} = 5kg/s

z_2 = 20m

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

h_1 = h_2

V_1 = V_2

Then we have that our equation now is,

\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}

\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}

\dot{W} = -0.98kW

radio waves travel at the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s. the wavelength of a radio wave record is 200,000,000 hz is?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1.5m

Explanation:

Speed of waves is given as the product of the wavelength and frequency. Sometimes when frequency is not given but the period is given, we get the frequency as the reciprocal of the period. The speed of waves is given in m/s, wavelength in m while frequency in Hz.

Speed, s= fw and making w the subject of formula,

w=\frac {s}{f}

Substituting 300, 000, 000 m/s for s and 200, 000, 000 for f then we obtain that

w=\frac {300000000}{200000000}=1.5 m

serg [7]

The definition of speed is (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

So a unit of speed has to be (a unit of length) / (a unit of time) .

Here are several perfectly fine units of speed:

-- miles per hour

-- feet per second

-- meters per second

-- kilometers per hour

-- inches per second

-- centimeters per minute

-- yards per Century

-- furlongs per fortnight

-- nanometers per microsecond

-- Smoots per week

-- parsecs per millenium
