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 />

From a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequ

V125BC [204]

Answer:

55.8 m/s

Explanation:

$f$ = Actual frequency of sound emitted by car

$f'$ = frequency observed when the car moves = $(0.86)f$

$V$ = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

$v$ = Speed of car

Frequency observed is given as

$f' = \frac{Vf}{V+v}$

$(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\294.98 + (0.86) v = 343 \\v = 55.8 ms^{-1}$

A child in a tree house uses a rope attached to a basket to lift a 24 N dog upward through a distance of 4.9 m into the house.

jenyasd209 [6]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

117.6 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Force of the dog is 24 N
Distance upward is 4.9 m

We are required to calculate the work done

Work done is the product of force and distance
That is; Work done = Force × distance
It is measured in Joules.

In this case;

Force applied is equivalent to the weight of the dog.

Work done = 24 N × 4.9 m

= 117.6 Joules

Hence, the work done in lifting the dog is 117.6 Joules
