Dan bikes 10 km west and then bikes another 5 km west. What is dans velocity if it takes 45 minutes

Physics

he velocity vector is found by taking the displacement divided by the amount of time.

The total displacement is 15 km West.

So the velocity is 15 km W / 45 min.

To convert to km/hr, multiply by 60 min/ 1 hour so the minutes will cancel in the numerator and denominator

15 * 60 / 45 km W / hr = 20 km/h West.


Also sometimes the term "velocity" is used when "speed" is intended in which case you can forget about what direction the movement was in and just say the speed was 20 km/hour.


Also if you want to keep the direction and use vectors, you might have a coordinate system with the x axis going in the East direction, the y axis in the North direction, and assume the world is flat :-) Then if the unit vector for x is "i" and the unit vector for y is "j" then you're looking at a velocity vector that is -20 i (in km/hour).

2 ways to change frictional force between 2 objects
Zanzabum
In order to change the frictional force between two solid surfaces, it can be changed by shorter distances and by the amount of weight it has or the amount of force that is pushing that object to go however distance it can.

Riding in a car, you suddenly put on the brakes. As you experience it inside the car, do Newton's law apply? Do they apply as se
alisha [4.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

Newton's laws are applicable for inertial frames of reference which is a frame which is not accelerating when seen from the observer standing on earth.

For the person as he presses the brakes his frame is a decelerating frame of reference hence he cannot apply the newtons laws of motion as they are in their original form but if he analyses the motion he has to apply a correction known as  pseudo-force on the object he is analyzing. Pseudo Force has no basis in newton's laws but are a correction that needs to be applied if he wishes to analyse the motion from non inertial frame of reference

While as a person standing on earth outside the car since his frame is an inertial frame of reference he can apply newton's laws of motion without any correction.

What is the difference between mutual flux, leakage flux and magnetizing flux<br> ​
Lemur [1.5K]

In simple words, flux can be stated as the rate of flow of a fluid, radiant energy, or particles across a given area.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Mutual Flux:</u>

  • The magnetic lines present in among two magnets or solenoid is mutual flux.
  • These are the lines in which the attraction and repulsion happens.
  • The SI unit of mutual flux is the Henry

<u>Leakage Flux:</u>

  • In simple words, it can be stated as  the magnetic flux which does not follow the specially designed way in a magnetic circuit.
  • Leakage flux in the induction motor takes spot due to current runs through the essence of the induction motor.
  • The SI unit of Leakage flux is the Weber

<u>Magnetizing flux</u>

  • Magnetic flux is an analysis of the entire magnetic field which moves in a given field
  • In simple words can be defined as the Magnetic flux is what generates the field around a magnetic material.
  • The SI unit of magnetic flux is the Weber
