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.

Is this true or false ethics deals with morals and values and can be measured and tested using the scientific method.
sammy [17]

This is false. Even though the first part is true, the second isn't because morals and values are simply widely accepted opinions that most humans have, and you can't test opinions with the scientific method, only facts!

A student performing a double-slit experiment is using a green laser with a wavelength of 550 nm. She is confused when the m = 5
sweet [91]

Answer:

d = 52 μm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light source (λ)= 550 nm

distance to form interference pattern(D) = 1.5 m

y = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

width of the slits = ?

now, using displacement formula

 y = \dfrac{m\lambda\ D}{d}

for the first maxima, m = 1

 d = \dfrac{1\times \lambda\ D}{y}

 d = \dfrac{1\times  550 \times 10^{-9}\times 1.5}{0.016}

       d = 5.2 x 10⁻⁶ m

       d = 52 μm

hence, the width of her slits is equal to d = 52 μm
