How do you measure velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]4 years ago
8 0
Speed and velocity are both measured using the same units. The SI unit of distance and displacement is the meter. The SI unit of time is the second. The SI unit of speed and velocity is the ratio of two — the meter per second.

A tennis ball is dropped from a height of 3 m and bounces back to a height of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

To decide where the balls land, we need to determine how long the balls are in the air. Both balls will take 2 seconds to hit the ground.

Explanation:

1) Time played forward : gravity & drag forces are in opposite directions so it takes a longer time to reach the ground. 2) Time played backward : gravity & drag forces are in the same direction so it takes a shorter time to reach the ground.

A force of 85 N is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 15 m. How much work was done?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1275J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box  = 85N

Distance moved  = 15m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

 Work done  = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Work done = 85 x 15  = 1275J

Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: If a spring-operated gun can shoot a pellet to a maximum height of 100 m on Earth,
crimeas [40]

Answer:

h' = 603.08 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the initial velocity of the pellet on the surface of Earth by using third equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height of pellet = 100 m

Vf = final velocity of pellet = 0 m/s (since, pellet will momentarily stop at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity of Pellet = ?

Therefore,

(2)(-9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √(1960 m²/s²)

Vi = 44.27 m/s

Now, we use this equation at the surface of moon with same initial velocity:

2g'h' = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = 1.625 m/s²

h' = maximum height gained by pellet on moon = ?

Therefore,

2(1.625 m/s²)h' = (44.27 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²

h' = (1960 m²/s²)/(3.25 m/s²)

<u>h' = 603.08 m</u>

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have the highest level of photon energy
Pani-rosa [81]
The energy carried by one photon is directly proportional to its
frequency.  So the photon energy is greatest for the electromagnetic
waves with the highest frequency / shortest wavelengths. 

That's why when you get past visible light and on up through ultraviolet,
X-rays, and gamma rays, the radiation becomes dangerous ==> each
photon carries enough energy to tear electrons away from their atoms,
ripping molecules apart and damaging cells.

The photon with the highest energy is a gamma-ray photon.
