Is it possible for an object to be going 100 miles per hour but have a velocity of zero?

1 answer:

5 0

It is possible for on object to be going at 100 miles per hour, but still have a velocity. This is because the object going at 100 miles per hour has speed, which is a scalar quantity, which is defined by only magnitude, but the velocity of the object can be 0, since velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by both magnitude and direction.

Since this object only has magnitude and no direction (which is not given), then the velocity can be 0

Lelu [443]

Incomplete question as we have not told to find what quantity.The complete question is here

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.50 nC when connected to a potential difference of 210.0 V. Its plates are separated by vacuum and the inner radius of the outer shell is 5.00 cm.calculate: (a) the capacitance; (b) the radius of the inner sphere; (c) the electric field just outside the surface of the inner sphere.

Answer:

(a) $C=16.7pF$

(b) $r_{a} =3.749cm$

Explanation:

Given data

$Q=3.50nC\\V=210V\\r_{b}=5.0cm$

For part (a)

The Capacitance given by:

$C=\frac{Q}{V}\\ C=\frac{3.50*10^{-9} C}{210V}\\C=1.6666*10^{-11}F\\or\\C=16.7pF$

For part (b)

The Capacitance of coordinates is given as

$C=\frac{4\pi e}{\frac{1}{r_{a} }-\frac{1}{r_{b} } }\\ So\\{\frac{1}{r_{a} }-\frac{1}{r_{b} } }=\frac{4\pi *8.85*10^{-12} }{1.666*10^{-11}}=6.672m^{-1} \\ \frac{1}{r_{a} }=6.672+(1 /0.05)\\\frac{1}{r_{a} }=26.672\\r_{a} =1/26.672\\r_{a} =0.0375m\\r_{a} =3.749cm$
