Answer:

C. a quantity with magnitude and direction

Explanation:

These are the options for the question

A. a quantity of magnitude only

B. a quantity with direction only

C. a quantity with magnitude and direction

D. a quantity with no units.

Velocity is the distance cover per time, it is the rate at which an object change its position with respect to time.

Velocity is a vector quantity unlike speed which is a scalar quantity, velocity is the speed of an object with a specific direction.

For instance, the distance cover by Mr. A is 10m, at 2 seconds, this show a magnitude and direction, then velocity here is 10/2=5m/s

A toy car moves 8 min 4 s at the constant velocity. What is the car's velocity?

Schach [20]

Explanation:

Formula:

$velocity = (d \div t)$

d = distance given

t = the amount of time given

Substitute the given values into the formula for velocity:

$v = 8 \div 4$

velocity is shortened for v.

8 (distance) divided by 4 (time) equals the velocity.

Solve:

$2 = 8 \div 4$

The velocity of the toy car equals: B. 2 m/s.

A resistor uses 100 w of power when connected to 120 v emf. What is the current through the same resistor when connected to a 22

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the resistance of resistor be R .

Power of resistor V² / R , where V is potential applied .

V² / R = 100

120² / R = 100

R = 120² / 100

= 144 ohm .

Now potential diff applied = 220 V

current = potential diff / resistance

= 220 / 144

= 1.53 A approx .

Problem 8 I estimate that the Gauss gun (a solenoid) is wound with 500 turns over a distance of 15cm with an average radius of 1

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Energy stored, U = 66.6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns in the solenoid, n = 500

Radius of solenoid, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

Distance, d = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Let U is the energy stored in the solenoid. Its formula is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2$

L is the self inductance of the solenoid

$L=\mu_o N^2A d$

N is the no of turns per unit length

$L=\mu_o (n/d)^2A d$

$L=\dfrac{4\pi\cdot10^{-7}\cdot500^{2}\cdot\pi\cdot\left(0.015\right)^{2}}{0.15}$

L = 0.00148 Henry

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00148\times 300^2$

U = 66.6 J

Out of given options, the correct option for the energy stored in the solenoid is 70 J. So, the correct option is (a) "70 J".
