Velocity is the speed with a direction and speed does not have a specific direction

Well the difference between velocity and speed would be that velocity is basically speed with a direction with a vector assisting with it... and Speed would be distance traveled... I hoped that this helped. :)<span />

Which example has the least kinetic energy

Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let’s calculate the kinetic energy for all of the choices.

a. (1/2)(100)(100)^2 = 50(10000)=500,000

b. (1/2)(100)(1)^2 = 50

c. (1/2)(10)(100)^2 = 5(10000) = 50,000

d. (1/2)(1)(1)^2 = 0.5

We can see that (d) has the least kinetic energy.

when a circular plate of metal is heated in an oven, its radius increases at .03 cm/min, at what rate is the area increasing whe

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Rate of change of area will be $9.796cm^2/min$

Explanation:

We have given rate of change of radius $\frac{dr}{dt}=0.03cm/min$

Radius of the circular plate r = 52 cm

Area is given by $A=\pi r^2$

So $\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Puting the value of r and $\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times 3.14\times 52\times 0.03=9.796cm^2/min$

So rate of change of area will be $9.796cm^2/min$

It takes a car traveling at 18 m/s, 240 seconds to reach Chick-Fil-A from the school. Determine how far Chick-Fil-A is from the

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The requested distance is 4320 meters

Explanation:

We can use the formula for velocity in this movement at constant velocity (v), which is defined as the quotient between the distance covered divided the time it took:

$v=\frac{distance}{time}$

Since we know the velocity and the time, we can solve for the distance:

$\neq v=\frac{distance}{time} \\18\,\frac{m}{s} = \frac{distance}{240\,\,s} \\distance=18\,*\,240\,\,m\\distance= 4320\,\,m$

The tire above has a recommended tire pressure of 35 PSI, however, its current pressure is only 26 PSI. Which of the following c

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

It is given that in the tire the recommended pressure is 35 PSI however the current pressure is only 26 PSI which means that pressure in the tire is less than the recommended so the chances of blowout of the tire gets eliminated hence option A is not correct.

Having pressure less in the tire can lead to the Unstable handling of the vehicle.

so correct answer is option B

What properties does electrical resistance in a wire depend on?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can always figure out something to say about a question like this if you have a formula to work with. Likely you do.

There are many ways it can be written

R = k * L / A

So here's the answer.

Resistance = k which depends of the properties of the material used to make the wire * the Length of the wire divided by the cross sectional area of the wire.
