Both speed and velocity measure how fast something is moving. Hence, since speed is not a vector it does not require direction.

Speed only depends on the distance covered by the object and how much time it took to cover that distance. It does not care about the direction, it just depend on the length of the entire path covered. Whereas, velocity depends on magnitude as well as the direction of the object's motion for example: When an airplane is traveling, It is better to deal the motion with velocity and when we are moving in a car inside the city, we should deal the motion with speed.

The muzzle velocity of an armor-piercing round fired from an M1A1 tank is 1770 m/s (nearly 4000 mph or mach 5.2). A tank is at t
loris [4]
<h2>Height of cliff is 66.43 meter.</h2>

Explanation:

Consider the horizontal motion of shell,

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 1770 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²  

        Displacement, s = 6520 m      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                     6520 = 1770 x t + 0.5 x 0 xt²

                      t = 3.68 s

      Time of flight of shell = 3.68 s.

Now consider the vertical motion of shell,

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3.68 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3.68 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.68²

                      s = 66.43 m

      Height of cliff is 66.43 meter.

water is boiling in a pan at 100c if heat is transferred to the pan at a rate of 2 kw how much water in kg will evaporate in 10m
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The mass of water that will evaporate 2.857 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

temperature of the water, T = 100 c

rate of heat transfer,  H = 2 kW = 2000 w

time, t = 10 min = 10 min x 60s = 600s

heat capacity of water is given by;

Q = McΔT

Where;

Q is the quantity of heat transfer to the pan = P x t =  2000 x 600 = 1200000 J.

c is specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg.°C

m = (Q) / (cΔT)

m = (1200000) (4200 x 100)

m = 2.857 kg

Therefore, the mass of water that will evaporate 2.857 kg.

Although we talk about the velocity of an object in Uniform Circular Motion as being
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The speed is constant.

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only).

Velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

For an object in Uniform Circular Motion the change in velocity is always

directed towards the center of the circle, and this change of velocity

gives rise to the acceleration which is directed towards the center of

rotation. This is called the centripetal acceleration, and it is the centripetal

force (for instance the attraction of the moon towards the earth) which

produces the centripetal acceleration.
