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

2 answers:

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.

14.A 90 kg quarterback gets tackled by being hit by a 120 kg lineman backwards

quester [9]

The acceleration of the quarterback and the lineman is 5.55m/s² and 4.16m/s² respectively in the same direction.

As, we know, the 120 Kg lineman is moving with a force of 500N.

His net acceleration will be in the same direction as his motion.

It is already known that, If M is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the body, then the force F on the body can be calculated by using the formula,

F = Ma.

The weight of the quarterback is 90 Kg. He is being hit by a force of 500N.

So, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula,

500N = 90kg x a

a = 5.55 m/s².

Now, the weight if the lineman is 120kg, the force applied by him is 500N.

So, from the formula, his acceleration A will be,

500N = 120Kg x A

A = 4.16 m/s².

both of them will have acceleration in the same direction,

Aluminum oxide can be produced during rocket launches. Show that the sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equ

Triss [41]

Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

If you wanted to find the area of the hot filament in a light bulb, you would have to know the temperature (determinable from th

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

To find out the area of the hot filament of a light bulb, you would need to know the temperature, the power input, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and <u>Emissivity of the Filament</u>.

Explanation:

The emissive power of a light bulb can be given by the following formula:

E = σεAT⁴

where,

E = Power Input or Emissive Power

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant

ε = Emissivity

A = Area

T = Absolute Temperature

Therefore,

A = E/σεT⁴

So, to find out the area of the hot filament of a light bulb, you would need to know the temperature, the power input, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and <u>Emissivity of the Filament</u>.

A 1500 kg car drives around a flat 200-m-diameter circular track at 25m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force

MakcuM [25]

The correct answer to the question is : 9375 N.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the car m = 1500 Kg.

The diametre of the circular track D = 200 m.

Hence, the radius of the circular path R = $\frac{D}{2}$

= $\frac{200}{2}\ m$

= 100 m.

The velocity of the truck v = 25 m/s.

When a body moves in a circular path, the body needs a centripetal force which helps the body stick to the orbit. It acts along the radius and towards the centre.

Hence, the force acting on the car is centripetal force.

The magnitude of the centripetal force is calculated as -

Force F = $\frac{mv^2}{R}$

= $\frac{1500\times (25)^2}{100}\ N$

= 9375 N. [ANS}

The centripetal force is provided to the car in two ways. It is the friction which provides the necessary centripetal force. Sometimes friction is not sufficient. At that time, the road is banked to some extent which provides the necessary centripetal force.
