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.

A ray of light travels from air to water. Which statement about the angle of incidence, reflection and refraction is true? a. Th
jeka57 [31]

The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the <em>angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection</em>.

In this question, the light ray passes from air to water, an optically denser medium.

Imagine drawing a line to representing the boundary between two mediums. Now imagine drawing a line perpendicular to that boundary line marking where the light ray intersects the boundary line. This second line is called the normal. Whenever a light ray passes into a denser medium with a nonzero angle of incidence, the ray will bend towards the normal, making the <em>angle of refraction smaller than the angle of incidence</em>.

Choice A

Michael Faraday was one of the first scientists to experiment with motors. How did Faraday design his first motor?
Margaret [11]
The correct option is D. 
Micheal Friday devised a wire which hanged down into a glass vessel that has a bar magnet secured at the bottom. He then filled the glass vessel with Mercury and connected the apparatus to a battery. This sent electricity through the wire, thus creating a magnetic field around it. This field interacted with the field around the magnet and cause the wire to rotate clock wisely.
