Two things that aren't involved in speed: -- the straight-line distance between the start- and end- points. -- the direction from start-point to end-point.

The correct answer to the question is: Direction

EXPLANATION:

The average velocity of a body is defined as the rate of change of displacement.

We know that displacement is a vector quantity. Hence, it has magnitude as well as direction for its specification.

On the other hand, the average speed of a body is defined as the rate of change of distance travelled. Hence, the average speed of a body is a scalar quantity. It means that it has only magnitude.

Hence, during the calculation of average velocity,we have to think of its direction.

a water-balloon launcher with mass 4 kg fires a 0.5 kg balloon with a velocity of 3 m/s to the east. what is the recoil velocity
kotykmax [81]
I think we will use the law of conservation of linear momentum;
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 =  4 kg (mass of the water balloon launcher)
V1=?
M2= 0.5 kg ( mass of the balloon)
V2 = 3 m/s

Therefore; 4 V1 = 0.5 × 3
                   4V1= 1.5
                     V1= 1.5/4
                          = 0.375 m/s

A voltage of 220V (rms) line to netralvoltage is applied across a three phase Y connected resistive load. Each phase of the Y co
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Current through each phase Vp = 2.2A

Total three phase power Pt= 1.45kW

Power factor of the load pf = 1

Explanation:

i) Find current through each phase

Vp =220V (rms)

Z =100 Ω

I = Vp/Z

 = 220/100

 = 2.2A

ii) Find the total three phase power

for a resistive load, Power, P = VI

Power for each phase is given as:

P = 220 * 2.2

  = 484 W

Total power TP =3* P

                          =484*3

                          = 1452W

                           =1.45kW

 iii) Find the power factor of the load

Phase angle for a resistive load is 0.

α= 0

Hence, power factor of load = cos α

                                          pf      = cos 0

                                             pf    = 1
