The correct answer is C. Velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

In physics both speed and velocity are used to study the motion of a body; however, they are slightly different. In the case of speed, this describes the rate of change in position based on distance and time, because of this, speed is based on a magnitude or quantity. On the other hand, velocity is a vector because it does not only includes a change of position but the direction of motion usually based on a specific location reference.

Considering this, it can be concluded the difference between speed and velocity is that "velocity is a vector and requires a direction" because velocity includes both the distance and time (speed) along with the direction while speed focuses only on time and distance.

The difference between speed and velocity is that C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Vector is a quantity that has a value and direction

Vector can be symbolized in the form of directed line segments

\large {\boxed {\bold {\overrightarrow{A}}}

while the length of the vector is denoted by | a |

Vectors can be written in the form of sequential pairs which shows their coordinates in the Cartesian plane: a (a₁, a₂)

with length

\large {\boxed {\bold {|a|=\sqrt{a_1^2+a_2^2}  }}

If the direction of the vector is reversed, we get the vector -a which has the same length but in the opposite direction

Operations on vectors include addition and subtraction. Addition of vector a and vector b can be done in a triangular way where the base point of vector b coincides with the endpoint of vector a

The sum of the two is obtained by pulling the line segment from the base point of the vector a to the endpoint of the vector b which results in a new vector c

So a + b = c

If vector a is added by inverse b (-b) then the sum becomes a + (- b) = a-b

If a vector is multiplied by a scalar number (eg denoted by k) then the new vector becomes k | a |.

If k> 0, the new vector is in the direction of vector a, but if k <0 it will be in the opposite direction

A vector has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude.

Examples of scalars are: length, mass, time, speed

Examples of vectors are: force, acceleration, velocity

Explain in terms of energy flow how a cold pack works on a sprained ankle
sergij07 [2.7K]
The <span>flow of how a cold pack works on a sprained ankle is based on the second law of thermodynamics which states that energy will flow from a higher to a lower temperature. So your body heat will flow to the cold pack in which you will feel the coldness of the pack.</span>

A concave mirror is used as a<br> reflector ina torch light?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A concave mirror is used as a torch reflector. ... When a light bulb is placed at the focus of a concave mirror reflector, the diverging light rays of the bulb are collected by the reflector. These rays are then reflected to produce a strong, parallel-sided beam of light.

The bob of a pendulum swings back and forth with a total mechanical energy of 300 J. What is the kinetic energy of the bob when
zhenek [66]

at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of the bob at any point of its motion is given by

E=KE+PE

Where

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy, where

m is the mass of the bob

v is its speed

PE=mgh is the gravitational potential energy, where

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the bob, measured with respect to the lowest point of the trajector

In absence of friction, the total mechanical energy E remains constant. So we have:

- When the bob swings upward, the PE increases (because h increases) and the KE decreases (so the speed decreases). At the highest point in the trajector, the speed of the bob is zero (v=0), so its KE is also zero and all the mechanical energy is potential energy: U = 300 J

- When the bob swings downward, the PE decreases (because h decreases) and the KE increases (so the speed increases). At the lowest point in the trajectory, the height has become zero (h=0), so the PE is zero and all the mechanical energy is kinetic energy: KE = 300 J

Therefore, at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.

You are in Paris, 60 m up in the Eiffel Tower. If you throw a euro downward at a velocity of 2.0 m/s, how long would it take the
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

t = 3.29 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of the Eiffel tower is 60 m

Initial speed of a euro, u = 2 m/s

It will move under the action of gravity in the downward direction. Firstly, we can find the final velocity as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2ad} \\\\v=\sqrt{(2)^2+2\times 9.81\times 60} \\\\v=34.36\ m/s

Let t is the time taken by the euro to hit the ground. It can be calculated as :

v=u+at\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{34.36-2}{9.81}\\\\t=3.29\ s

Hence, it will take 3.29 seconds to hit the ground.
