What is the difference between speed and velocity?

1 answer:

4 0

Speed does not include a direction, but velocity does.

30 miles per hour north
and
30 miles per hour west

Same speed.
Different velocity.

Find the electric field at a point midway between two charges of +40.0 × 10−9 c and +60.0 × 10−9 c separated by a distance of 30

Anna [14]

The point midway between the two charges is located 15.0 cm from one charge and 15.0 from the other charge. The electric field generated by each of the charges is
$E=k_e \frac{q}{r^2}$
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the value of the charge
r is the distance of the point at which we calculate the field from the charge (so, in this problem, r=15.0 cm=0.15 m).

Let's calculate the electric field generated by the first charge:
$E_1 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{+40.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{(0.15 m)^2}=1.6 \cdot 10^4 N/C$

While the electric field generated by the second charge is
$E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{+60.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{(0.15 m)^2}=2.4 \cdot 10^4 N/C$

Both charges are positive, this means that both electric fields are directed toward the charge. Therefore, at the point midway between the two charges the two electric fields have opposite direction, so the total electric field at that point is given by the difference between the two fields:
$E=E_2 - E_1 = 2.4 \cdot 10^4 N/C - 1.6 \cdot 10^4 N/C = 8000 N/C$

In boxing, the use of 16-ounce gloves rather than 12-ounce gloves reduces the chance of injury because the force is distributed

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Here we have assumed that increasing the mass of a glove will increase the surface area.

Injury is caused by the application of pressure at a point on the body. The application of pressure takes place via the area of the gloves. Pressure is given by

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

where

F = Force

A = Area to which the force is applied

So, a bigger glove will increase the surface area and reduce the pressure resulting in a lower chance of injury.

Hence, the statement is true.
