Speed is the distance traveled
time
but velocity is the change in distance
time

Speed and Velocity are similar with their only real differences being that Speed has to be positive, and Velocity is a vector, which means that it has to have direction and magnitude.

A resistor has four colored stripes in the following order: orange, orange, brown and silver. What is the resistance of the resi

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Resistance =330 Ω

Tolerance = 33 Ω

Explanation:

see attached resistor color code table

The first stripe is orange, which means the leftmost digit is a 3.

The second stripe is orange , which means the next digit is a 3.

The third stripe is brown. Since brown is 1, it means add one zero to the right of the first two digits.

The resistance is:

orange-orange-brown= 330 Ω

The tolerance is:

The fourth color band indicates the resistor's tolerance. Tolerance is the percentage of error in the resistor's resistance.

silver is 10%

A 330 Ω resistor has a silver tolerance band.

<em>Tolerance = value of resistor x value of tolerance band </em>

= 330 Ω x 10% = 33 Ω

330 Ω stated resistance +/- 33 Ω tolerance means that the resistor could range in actual value from as much as 363 Ω to as little as 297 Ω.

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if

Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path, it has a velocity of 34.5

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the airplane. u = 34.5 m/s

distance traveled by the airplane, s = 46,100 m

final velocity of the airplane, v = 40.7 m/s

The acceleration of the airplane is calculated from the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

$2as= v^2 - u^2\\\\a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(40.7)^2 -(34.5)^2}{2 \times 46,100} \\\\a = 5.06 \ \times \ 10^{-3} \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²
