Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path, while velocity is the rate and direction of an object's movement. Put another way, speed is a scalar value, while velocity is a vector.

A bus hits a bug and the bug splatters on the windshield, which force is greater?

grandymaker [24]

The forces acting on a body and the type of motion that results are given by Newton's three Laws of motion

The force of the bus is the same as reactive force of the bug

Reason:

According to Newton's third Law of motion, given that the bug collides

with the bus, the force with which the bus hits the bug is equal to the

reactive force of the bug on the on the bus

According to Newton's second Law of motion, force is equal to the rate of

change of the momentum produced

The impulse of the force of the bus on the bug is given as follows;

F·Δt = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Given that the force of the bus is large, the change in momentum, m·(v₂ - v₁),

is also large such that the parts of the bug are split by the rapid change in

velocity, and the bug splatters on the windshield, and is then carried along

on the trip,

The equally large reactive force of the bug, is such that the bug splatters

due its magnitude

Therefore, the correct response is that the forces are the same

All points to the blank of zero on a horizontal number line are negative.

sergij07 [2.7K]

All points to the left of zero on a horizontal number line are negative. A number line is a picture of a graduated straight line that serves as abstraction for real numbers. This number line can be extended to the left to represent numbers which are smaller than 0. Such numbers are called negative numbers.

Two massless bags contain identical bricks, each brick having a mass M. Initially, each bag contains four bricks, and the bags m

stepladder [879]

Answer: $F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

In this case we have two situations:

1) Two bags with masses $4M$ and $4M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{1}$ on each other:

$F_{1}=G\frac{(4M)(4M)}{r^2}$ (1)

$F_{1}=G\frac{16M^2}{r^2}$ (2)

$F_{1}=16\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (3)

2) Two bags with masses $2M$ and $6M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{2}$ on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):

$F_{2}=G\frac{(2M)(6M)}{r^2}$ (4)

$F_{2}=G\frac{12M^2}{r^2}$ (5)

$F_{2}=12\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (6)

Now, if we isolate $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ from (3):

$\frac{F_{1}}{16}=\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (7)

Substituting $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ found in (7) in (6):

$F_{2}=12(\frac{F_{1}}{16})$ (8)

$F_{2}=\frac{12}{16}F_{1}$ (9)

Simplifying, we finally get the expression for $F_{2}$ in terms of $F_{1}$ :

$F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

As a science project, you drop a watermelon off the top of the Empire State Building, 320 m above the sidewalk. It so happens th

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The velocity of watermelon when it passes Superman is 78 m/s.

Explanation:

Height of the building, d = 320 m

Speed of the superman, v = 39 m/s

We need to find the speed of watermelon when it passes Superman. Let t is the time taken by the watermelon. So,

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Here u = 0

$d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$39t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

t = 7.95 seconds

Let v is the speed of the watermelon. It is given by :

$v=gt$

$v=9.8\times 7.95$

v = 77.91 m/s

v = 78 m/s

So, the velocity of watermelon when it passes Superman is 78 m/s.

A particle moves along the x axis from the origin. The magnitude of the position vector at time t is

Maurinko [17]

1) The average velocity is $-2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s$

2) The instantaneous velocity is $64t-260t^3$

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is given by

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the displacement

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, the position of the particle is given by the function

$x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4$

where t is the time.

The position of the particle at time t = 6 sec is

$x(6) = 32(6)^2 - 65(6)^4=-83,088 m$

While the position at time t = 12 sec is

$x(12)=32(12)^2-65(12)^4=-1,343,232 m$

So, the displacement is

$d=x(12)-x(6)=-1,343,232-(-83,088)=-1,260,144 m$

And therefore the average velocity is

$v=\frac{-1,260,144 m}{12 s- 6 s}=-2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s$

The instantaneous velocity of a particle is given by the derivative of the position vector.

The position vector is

$x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4$

By differentiating with respect to t, we find the velocity vector:

$v(t) = x'(t) = 2\cdot 32 t - 4\cdot 65 t^3 = 64t - 260 t^3$

Therefore, the instantaaneous velocity at any time t can be found by substituting the value of t in this expression.
