What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
alekssr [168]3 years ago

Speed does not include a direction, but velocity does.

       30 miles per hour north
and
       30 miles per hour west

Same speed.
Different velocity.

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densities
borishaifa [10]
Having different densities being swirled rapidly will cause sedimentation. Sedimentation is the segmentation of the mixture creating layers of particles of these different densities. The process of rapid swirling is called differential centrifugation. An example use of this method is separation human blood into, red, platelet and white blood cells.

Russia shut off the nord stream pipeline that supplies which nation with natural gas?.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Russia shut off the Nord Stream pipeline that supplies natural gas to Germany.

What is the Nord Stream pipeline?

A pair of offshore natural gas pipeline systems in Europe called Nord Stream cross the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. It consists of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, both of which originate in northwest Russia, near Finland, in Vyborg and Ust-Luga, respectively. Both pipelines travel to Lubmin in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state of northeastern Germany.

Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, certification for Nord Stream 2 has been rejected. When referring to a larger network of pipelines, such as the feeding onshore pipeline in Russia and additional connections in Western Europe, the term "Nord Stream" is sometimes used.

Nord Stream joins the NEL pipeline to Rehden near Bremen in northwestern Germany and the OPAL pipeline to Olbernhau in eastern Germany at the Czech border in Lubmin.

Thus, the Nord Stream pipeline supplies natural gas to Germany.
