What is the difference between velocity and speed /vector and scalar?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

Speed only defines the magnitude of how fast an object is moving from one point to another. This is a scalar quantity (Only Value)

Velocity defines both how fast an object is moving and also in what direction the object is moving. This is a vector quantity (Value + Direction)

A large sheet of charge has a uniform charge density of 9  μCm2. What is the electric field due to this charge at a point just

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

Surface charge density, σ = 9 μC/m² = 9 x 10^-6 C/m²

According to the Gauss theorem,

Electric field due to the sheet is given by

$E = \frac {\sigma }{2\epsilon _{0}}$

$E = \frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{2\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}$

E = 5.08 x 10^5 N/C

What net force would be needed to accelerate the box at 2.3 m/s^2

Akimi4 [234]

The pertinent equation here is F=ma. You haven't shared the mass of the box, so I will use M to represent that mass.

Then F = M(<span>2.3 m/s^2) (answer)</span>
