Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?

The boat traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

Explanation:

A boat traveling from the dock northward to a 200m mark in the bay in less than 5minutes giving the passengers several more hours to fish is a typical and best example of velocity description.

Velocity is the displacement of a body divided by the time taken.

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$

Displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction. Time is duration of the travel.

Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. This implies that the value of velocity is recorded with a directional attribute.

We can say velocity is the speed of a body in a given direction

Only the last option gives the displacement of the body and the duration it traveled.

Describe the parts of a lever. Include the following terms (fulcrum, resistance arm and effort arm).

yarga [219]

Answer:

hi here is your answer and this is a very important question.

Explanation:

A lever is a rigid bar with three parts: the fixed point around which the bar pivots is the fulcrum: the effort arm (in-lever arm) is the part of the lever to which force is applied; the resistance arm (out-lever arm) is the part that bears the load to be moved.

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.

serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.
