Is average speed a scalar or vector quantity? why?

Physics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
3 0
The average speed is the distance per time ratio (a scalar quantity) Speed is ignorant of direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. It is aware of direction.

. During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s away from th
mixer [17]

Answer:

106.7 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

F \Delta t = m (v-u)

where

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

m is the mass of the ball

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem:

m = 0.200 kg

u = 20.0 m/s

v = -12.0 m/s

\Delta t = 60.0 ms = 0.06 s

Solving for F,

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.200 kg) (-12.0 m/s-20.0 m/s)}{0.06 s}=-106.7 N

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

F = 106.7 N

A boy on a 1.9 kg skateboard initially at rest tosses a(n) 7.8 kg jug of water in the forward direction. if the jug has a speed
Tresset [83]
For this case we first think that the skateboard and the child are one body.
 We have then:
 1 = jug
 2 = skateboard + boy
 By conservation of the linear amount of movement:
 M1V1i + M2V2i = M1V1f + M2V2f
 Initial rest:
 v1i = v2i = 0
 0 = M1V1f + M2V2f
 Substituting values
 0 = (7.8) (3.2) + (M2) (- 0.65)
 0 = 24.96 + M2 (-0.65)
 -24.96 = (-0.65) M2
 M2 = (-24.96) / (- 0.65) = 38.4 kg
 Then, the child's mass is:
 M2 = Mskateboard + Mb
 Clearing:
 Mb = M2-Mskateboard
 Mb = 38.4 - 1.9
 Mb = 36.5 Kg
 answer:
 the boy's mass is 36.5 Kg

What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.

Figure 10.20 in your textbook shows an energy diagram for a system with total energy E1. Suppose the system's total energy is E2
wolverine [178]

The particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

The given parameters;

  • <em>initial energy of the particles = E₁</em>
  • <em>final energy of the particles, E₂ = 0.33E₁</em>

The movement of the particles depends on the kinetic energy of the particles.

When kinetic energy of the particles is 100%, the particles can oscillate from x₁ to x₅.

However, when the total energy of this particles is reduced to one-third (¹/₃) or 33% of the initial energy of the particle, the oscillation of the particles will be reduced.

  • The maximum position the particle can oscillate is x₅
  • The half position the particles can oscillate is x₃

Since 33% is less than the half of the energy of the particle, the particle will oscillate between x₁ and x₂.

Thus, we can conclude that the particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.
