Answer:

For the purposes of your question, we can think of speed and velocity as being the same thing. Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the object.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The kinetic energy is the measure of energy exerted by the object during its state of motion. The kinetic energy depend on the mass of the object and the speed the object is moving. So, the kinetic energy is related to square of the speed of the object.

$\text { Kinetic energy }=\frac{1}{2} \times \text { mass of the object } \times \text { (velocity of the object) }^{2}$

Thus, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the object. So, as the speed of the object increases the kinetic energy increases double the times of its speed of the object.

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a

Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_x = v cos \theta$

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

$\theta$ is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its x-component is

$A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

$B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41$

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_y = v sin \theta$

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its y-component is

$A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ , so the y-component is

$B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7$

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.

A magnet falls through a loop of wire with the south pole entering first. After it has fallen all the way through the wire loop

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The induced current direction as viewed is clockwise

Explanation:

Lenz's Law states that the induced e. m. f. causes current to be driven in the loop of wire in such a way as to generate magnetic field that are oppose the magnetic flux change which is the source of the induced current

Therefore, as the magnet approaches the coil with the south pole, the coil produces current equivalent to the upward movement of the south pole of a permanent magnet through it which according to Flemings Right Hand Rule is clockwise

Therefore;

The direction of the induced current in the loop (as viewed from above, looking down the magnet) is clockwise

Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalar results in?

Minchanka [31]

You divide sort of the similar but vector is distance and displacement and scalar is just distance
