Since velocity describes both speed and direction you can call it

1 answer:

4 0

Since velocity describes both speed and direction, you can call it a "vector" quantity, and legitimately label it "velocity".

Since speed has no direction, it's a scalar quantity, and it's wrong to call it "velocity" as so many often do.

A 0.20-kg particle moves along the x axis under the influence of a conservative force. The potential energy is given by

anastassius [24]

Answer:

e) 11 m/s

Explanation:

For a particle under the action of a conservative force, its mechanical energy at point 0 is must be equal to its mechanical energy at point 1:

$K_1+U_1=K_0+U_0\\\\\frac{mv_1^2}{2}+[(8.0\frac{J}{m^2})(x_1)^2+(2.0\frac{J}{m^4})(x_1)^4]=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}+[(8.0\frac{J}{m^2})(x_0)^2+(2.0\frac{J}{m^4})(x_0)^4]$

In $x_1=1.0m$ the speed is given, so $v_1=5.0\frac{m}{s}$ and $x_0=0$ . Replacing:

$\frac{mv_1^2}{2}+[(8.0\frac{J}{m^2})(1m)^2+(2.0\frac{J}{m^4})(1m)^4]=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}+[(8.0\frac{J}{m^2})0^2+(2.0\frac{J}{m^4})(0)^4]\\\frac{mv_1^2}{2}+8.0J+2.0J=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}\\\frac{mv_0^2}{2}=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}+10J\\v_0=\sqrt{\frac{2}{m}(\frac{mv_1^2}{2}+10J)}\\v_0=\sqrt{\frac{2}{0.2kg}(\frac{(0.2kg)(5\frac{m}{s})^2}{2}+10J)}\\v_0=11.18\frac{m}{s}$

Which statement correctly describes earths magnetic field? 20 point question!!!!

Olegator [25]

Answer:

D). Field lines circle the Earth from east to west.

Explanation:

A microscopic force or gigantic magnetic field surrounds the Earth which functions as a force field that guards the planet against the radiations released from space. This magnetic field is characterized by the alignment of the North and South poles with the axis of rotation. Thus, the magnetic field lines of the Earth surround or circle of the Earth from East to West. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
