What describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction

Physics

Mashcka [7]3 years ago

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed.

A roller coaster has a "hump" and a "loop" for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 1
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part a)

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Explanation:

Part a)

By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

mg - F_n = ma_c

now we will have

mg - F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R}

F_n = mg - \frac{mv^2}{R}

now we have

F_n = 100(9.81) - \frac{100(9^2)}{12}

F_n = 981 - 675

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

F_n + mg = ma_c

F_n = 0 at minimum speed

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = \sqrt{15 \times 9.81}

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Which object experiences the greatest gravitational force? A)car B)fire truck C)plane D)human
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: C Plane

Explanation: According to Newton's law, gravitational force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Gravitational force depends on mass. The bigger the mass, the more the magnitude of the gravitational force. Since plane is assume to have the highest mass in the options, we can therefore conclude that plane will experience the highest gravitational force.

what is an example of a environmental issue and how was it impacted by humans. please explain in detail where this issue is occu
Burka [1]
An example of an environmental issue is the acid rain in Germany. The acid rain is caused by pollution. Pollution that was caused by car putting harmful gases into the air is the main reason that there is acid rain in Germany. This is a problem because the acid rain is destroying Germany’s forests. Hope this helped!

What must the diver's minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, wh
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.08 m/s

Explanation:

This can be solved with two steps, first we need to find the time taken to fall 9.5 m, then we can divide the horizontal distance covered with time taken to calculate the velocity.

Time taken to fall 9.5 m

vertical acceleration = a = 9.8 m/s^2.

vertical velocity = 0, (since there is only horizontal component for velocity, )

distance traveled  s = 9.5 m.

Substituting these values in the equation

s= u \timest+0.5at^{2}

t= \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }

t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times9.5}{9.8} }

⇒ t= 1.392 sec

Velocity needed

We know the time taken (1.392 s) to travel 1.5 m,

So velocity = 1.5 m / 1.392 s = 1.08 m/s

hence velocity of the diver must be at least 1.08 m/s

A charge Q is to be divided into two parts, labeled 'q' and 'Q-q? What is the relationship of q to Q if, at any given distance,
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The two charges are q and Q - q. Let the distance between them is r

Use the formula for coulomb's law for the force between the two charges

F = \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

So, the force between the charges q and Q - q is given by

F = \frac{K\left ( Q-q \right )q}}{r^{2}}

For maxima and minima, differentiate the force with respect to q.

\frac{dF}{dq} = \frac{k}{r^{2}}\times \left ( Q - 2q \right )

For maxima and minima, the value of dF/dq = 0

So, we get

q = Q /2

Now \frac{d^{2}F}{dq^{2}} = \frac{-2k}{r^{2}}

the double derivate is negative, so the force is maxima when q = Q / 2 .
