What is the rate at which an object moves but doesn't include direction?

Great question !

The rate at which an object covers distance, without worrying
about the direction it's moving, is the object's SPEED .

When the direction is also given, then you have the object's VELOCITY.

This question is important. It gives us a chance to point out that
"velocity" is not just a fancy word for speed that you use when you
want to sound smart. There's actually an important difference between
'speed' and 'velocity'.

Write down the condition required for the thermonuclear fusion.

storchak [24]

Explanation:

The temperature must be hot enough to allow the ions of deuterium and tritium to have enough kinetic energy to overcome the Coulomb barrier and fuse together. The ions must be confined with a high ion density to achieve a suitable fusion reaction rate.

A rollercoaster car has 2500 J of potential energy and 160 J of

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

E_{k2}=2660 [J] kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The energy in the initial state i.e. when the rollercoaster is at the top is equal to the energy in the final state i.e. when it is at the bottom of the hill.

These states can be represented by means of the second equation.

$E_{k1}+E_{p1}=E_{k2}\\160 + 2500 = E_{k2}\\E_{k2}=2660 [J]$

Since the rollercoaster is located in the bottom of the hill where the potential energy level is zero, therefore there is only kinetic energy in the second state.
