Speed is the distance traveled by an object where as, velocity is distance traveled by an object per unit time in a particular direction. Speed is a scalar quantity where as velocity is a vector quantity.

Answer : speed is just how fast something is going , but velocity is how fast an object is going in one direction.

Explanation: speed = how fast       velocity = how fast in that direction.

A 87 kgkg skydiver can be modeled as a rectangular "box" with dimensions 18 cmcm ×× 47 cmcm ×× 180 cmcm . If he falls feet first
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Therefore the terminal velocity = 1.45 m/s

Explanation:

Terminal velocity: Terminal velocity is the highest velocity of an object when it falls from rest trough a media.

V_t=\sqrt{\frac{2w}{c_d\rho A}}

V_t= terminal velocity

w = weight of the object = mg

c_d = drag coefficient=0.80

A= frontal area

\rho = media density = 1.2 kg/m³

m = mass = 8 kg

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Front area = length× breadth

                 = (18×47)cm²

                 =846 cm²

Therefore the terminal velocity

v_t= \sqrt{\frac{2\times 87\times 9.8}{0.80\times 846 \times 1.2}

    =1.45 m/s

Therefore the terminal velocity = 1.45 m/s

A 4.0 kg mass is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 950 N/m. It oscillates with an amplitude of 0.12 m. What is the m
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

velocity = 2.62m/s

Explanation:

950= (4 x A)/0.12

950 x 0.12 = 4 x A

114 = 4 x A

A = 114/4

A = 28.5m/s²

  • U²=2as
  • U² = 2 x 28.5 x 0.12
  • U² = 6.84
  • U = √6.84
  • U = 2.62m/s

An alien spaceship 8x10^14m away sends us a radio wave signal. How long does it take for the signal to reach us?
Nata [24]
Time = distance/speed

Time = 8•10^14m / 3•10^8m/s

Time = about 2.7•10^6 seconds.
That's about 31 Earth days.

A Parachutist with a camera, with descending at a speed of 12.5m/s, releases, the camera at an altitude of 64.3m. What is the ma
jonny [76]

Given :

Initial velocity, u = 12.5 m/s.

Height of camera, h = 64.3 m.

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s².

To Find :

How long does it take the camera to reach the ground.

Solution :

By equation of motion :

h = ut+\dfrac{gt^2}{2}

Putting all given values, we get :

12.5t+\dfrac{9.8t^2}{2}=64.3\\\\4.9t^2+12.5t=64.3

t = 2.56  and t = −5.116.

Since, time cannot be negative.

t = 2.56 s.

Therefore, time taken is 2.56 s.

Hence, this is the required solution.
