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

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $3.874 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

$60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s$

$34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s$

we know acceleration is given by $=\frac{velocity}{Time}$

$a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}$

$a=-3.874 m/s^2$

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s$

$s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}$

s=63.038 m

Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting 1700-hz sound waves into a room where the

Debora [2.8K]

Given the following in the problem:

Distances : 2.0 m and 4.0 m
Sound waves : 1700 hz
Speed of sound : 340 m/s

Get the wavelength of the sound by using the formula:
Lambda = speed of sound/sound waves
Lambda = 340 m/s / 1700 hz
Lambda = 0.2
Get the path length difference to the point from the two speakers
L1 = 4mL2 = sqrt (42+ 22) m
Delta = 4.47

x = delta / lambda

If the outcome is nearly an integer, the waves strengthen at the point. If it is nearly an integer +0.5 the waves interfere destructively at the point. If it is neither the point is somewhat in in the middle.

Solving x = (4.47 – 4) / (0.2) = 2.35 an integer +0.5 so it’s a point of destructive interference.

What allows the bimetallic coil to turn on or off a heating or cooling system? The two metals contract the same amount. The ther

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The two metals expand differently.

Explanation:

The bimetallic strip has two metal strips positioned like a bridge, these strips connect the electrical circuit to the heating system. When these strips are linear or "down" they allow the electricity to move through the circuit to the heating system to turn the heat on. When the strips are "up" the disconnect the electricity flow, thus turning the heating system off, thus the room becomes cool/cold.
