Contrast speed and velocity

Physics
1 answer:
Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

"Speed" is the rate at which distance is being covered .... the ratio

of distance covered to the time it takes.

"Velocity" is the rate at which distance is being covered .... the ratio

of distance covered to the time it takes ... AND the direction in which

it is covered.  'Speed' with the direction of the motion.

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you. How much time does it take the light to travel that distance?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

t=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

So, the required time is 5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

A basketball rolls without slipping (starting from rest) down a ramp. If the ramp is sloped by an angle of 4 degrees above the h
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

11.7 m/s

Explanation:

To find its speed, we first find the acceleration of the center of mass of a rolling object is given by

a = gsinθ/(1 + I/MR²) where θ = angle of slope = 4, I = moment of inertia of basketball = 2/3MR²

a = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3MR²/MR²)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4 × (5/3)

  = 1.14 m/s²

To find its speed v after rolling for 60 m, we use

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed = 0 (since it starts from rest), s = 60 m

v = √(u² + 2as) = √(0² + 2 × 1.14 m/s × 60 m) = √136.8 = 11.7 m/s

A rocket of mass 40000kg propelled by a force of 10^6N acquires a speed of 3000m/s determine the power expended
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

3×10⁹ W

Explanation:

Power = work / time

Power = force × distance / time

Power = force × velocity

P = Fv

P = (10⁶ N) (3000 m/s)

P = 3×10⁹ W
