Velocity is speed plus direction, so an example of velocity would be a vehicle traveling at 75mph north. Velocity is a vector quantity because it describes both magnitude and direction.
Fed [463]3 years ago

Answer: Velocity is speed and the direction where the speed is pointing.

If you have a map, with the y axis = north and the x axis = east. For you to describe your velocity, you must describe how fast are moving to north and how fast are you moving to east. So your velocity will be Vnorth + Veast, and this is a vector of the form (Vnorth, Veast). with total speed of \sqrt{Vnorth^{2} + Veast^{2} }.

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force
bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve  y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule,  if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So,  we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x  direction,  so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

To know  more about the right-hand rule refer to the link brainly.com/question/9750730?referrer=searchResults.

How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?
Wittaler [7]

Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force.  The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

Brut [27]

A sound wave leaves the loudspeaker. As it travels, it experiences a temporary increase in wavelength and then returns to its original wavelength.  The sound wave traveled through a helium balloon (helium is less dense than air could explain this change in wavelength

The pattern of disruption brought on by energy moving away from the sound source is known as a sound wave. Longitudinal waves are what makeup sound. This indicates that the direction of energy wave propagation and particle vibrational propagation are parallel. The atoms oscillate when they are put into vibration.

A high-pressure and a low-pressure zone are created in the medium as a result of this constant back and forth action. Compressions and rarefactions, respectively, are terms used to describe these high- and low-pressure zones. The sound waves go from one medium to another as a result of these regions being transmitted to the surrounding media.
