Why car speed is not considered as car velocity?​
grigory [225]

Answer:

Cause its scalar quantity

Explanation:

since speed does not take directions into consideration, it is considered to be a scalar quantity. On the other hand, the velocity of an object does not take into account direction, thus making it a vector quantity.

What does a tachometer measure?
nlexa [21]
A tachometer measures, for example it measures the MPH(Miles Per Hour) in a car.  So like it measures your speed, so you could be going 100 MPH.

A boy throws a ball vertically up it returns the ground after 10 seconds find the maximum height reached by the ball
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Approximately 122.625\; {\rm m} (assuming that g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, the ball was launched from ground level, and that the drag on the ball is negligible.)

Explanation:

Let v_{0} denote the velocity at which the ball was thrown upward.

If the drag (air friction) on the ball is negligible, the ball would land with a velocity of exactly (-v_{0}). The velocity of the ball would be changed from v to (-v_{0})\! (such that \Delta v = (-v_{0}) - v_{0} = (-2\, v_{0})) within t = 10\; {\rm s}.

Also because the drag on the ball is negligible, the acceleration of the ball would be a = -g = -9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}. Thus:

\Delta v = a\, t = 10\; {\rm s} \times (-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}) = -98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}.

Since \Delta v = (-2\, v_{0}):

-2\, v_{0} = \Delta v = -98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}.

\begin{aligned}v_{0} &= \frac{-98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{-2}= 49.05\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

The ball reaches maximum height when its velocity is v_{1} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}. Apply the SUVAT equation x = ({v_{1}}^{2} - {v_{0}}^{2}) / (2\, a) to find the displacement x between the original position (ground level, where v_{0} = 49.05\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) and the max-height position of the ball (where v_{1} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}.)

\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{(0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2} - (49.05\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2}}{2 \times (-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}})} \\ &\approx 122.625\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range

Explanation:

Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
