Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Explanation :

Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.

Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.

The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

The magnitude of a speed completely defines it whereas you also need to state a direction to specify a velocity.

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 92.1 m/s. The 55.6 kg pilot does not want his radial acceleration to
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

 r = 102.43 m

Explanation:

Newton's second law for this case is

              F = ma

Where the acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

            r = v² / a

They indicate that the radial acceleration is 8.45 g

           r = v² / 8.45 g.

           r = 92.1² / 8.45 9.8

           r = 102.43 m
