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 0.111 kg hockey puck moving at 55 m/s is caught by a 80 kg goalie at rest. With what speed does the goalie slide on the (frict
Andrews [41]

Answer: 0.076 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved:

m v = (m + M) V

(0.111 kg) (55 m/s) = (0.111 kg + 80. kg) V

V = 0.076 m/s

After catching the puck, the goalie slides at 0.076 m/s.

An empty plate capacitor is connected between the terminals ofa 9.0 V battery and charged up. The capacitor is then disconnected
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The new voltage between the parallel plates of the capacitor is 18V, because for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage) between the plates.

Explanation:

ΔV = E*Δd

Where;

ΔV is the change in potential difference

Δd is the change in the distance between the parallel plates

E is the electric field potential.

Assuming a constant electric field; E = \frac{v}{d} , then; \frac{v_1}{d_1} =\frac{v_2}{d_2}

when the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled, d₂ = 2d₁

v₂ = (v₁*d₂)/(d₁)

v₂ = (v₁*2d₁)/(d₁)

v₂ = 2v₁

v₂  = 2(9) = 18 V

Therefore, for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage).

A climatograph for a tropical grassland or savanna would look different from the climatograph shown for a temperate grassland. D
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Savannas have a fairly constant temperature all year; temperate grasslands have a greater seasonal temperature variation.

Explanation:

For example, the African Savanna has an almost constant temperature all year (see the first figure below).

The difference between summer and winter temperatures is only about 5 °C, and the rate of temperature change is quite slow.

The temperature of a temperate grassland (see the second figure below) has a much greater seasonal variation.  

The summers are hot, and the winters are cold. The difference between summer and winter temperatures is about 30 °C, with a rapid rate of temperature change from one season to the next.
