Answer:

When the velocity doesn't change its direction

Explanation:

Since velocity vector has 2 components: direction and magnitude, and speed is the velocity's magnitude. So if the velocity doesn't change its direction, we essentially use its magnitude, aka speed, to calculate the rate of change for acceleration.

Answer:

When direction does not change or is not involved/required.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the time rate of change in velocity. This is because like velocity, acceleration is a vector quantity and has to do with change in direction. But then, a particle can still accelerate without a change in direction. In this case, acceleration can be defined as the time rate of change of speed. This is because, since direction is not involved, speed which is a scalar quantity, has nothing to do with direction.

In essence, speed and velocity are the same when direction is not involved or when direction is not changing. Therefore, in the definition of acceleration, if there are no regards for direction, speed can be used in place of velocity.

If the potential across two parallel plates, separated by 4.0 cm, is 15.0 V, what is the electric field strength in volts per me
abruzzese [7]

Field strength = (15 V) / (4 cm)

Field strength = (15 V) / (0.04 meter)

Field strength = (15/0.04) (volts/meter)

<em>Field strength = 375 volts/meter </em>

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 m/s increases at a constant rate of 2.4 m/s^2 for 3.2s. What is the total distance
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

82.7 m

Explanation:

u= 22m/s

a= 2.4 m/s^2.

t= 3.2 secs

Therefore the distance travelled can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 22 × 3.2 + 1/2 × 2.4 × 3.2^2

= 70.4 + 1/2×24.58

= 70.4 + 12.29

= 82.7 m

Hence the distance travelled by the truck is 82.7 m

german

Distance= Time×Speed

= 1800×1.5

= 2700 m

I am not sure it's right. the question itself is confusing.
