The correct answer to the question is : C) Speed is the distance an object travels within a specific unit of time, whereas acceleration is the rate at which the speed or direction of an object is changing.
EXPLANATION :
Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand speed and acceleration.
The speed of a body is defined as the rate of change of distance or the distance covered by the body per unit time. Speed is scalar quantity. Hence, it needs only magnitude for its complete specification.
The acceleration produced by a body is defined as the rate of change of velocity. We know that velocity is the speed in a particular direction. Hence, the acceleration is not only produced due to the change in magnitude of velocity as well as due to the change in direction. Hence, acceleration is a vector quantity which needs magnitude as well as direction for its complete specification.
Hence, the best difference between speed and acceleration is the third statement.
Second hand:
1 rev per minute = (2π radians/minute) x (1 min/60sec) = π/30 rad/sec
Minute hand:
1 rev per hour = (2π radians/hour) x (1 hr/3600 sec) = π/1800 rad/sec
Hour hand:
1 rev per 12 hours = (2π rad/12 hr) x (1 hr/3600 sec) = π/21,600 rad/sec
As long as the clock is in good working order, and the hands are turning steadily at their normal rate, there is no angular acceleration.
D. The block should move to the left.
Since the forces are in opposite directions the difference of these forces determines the magnitude and direction of the block. Therefore,
20 N left - 10 N right = 10 N left
Answer:
speed
Explanation:
The slope of a line on any distance-time graph represents the speed of the object.
Velocity only comes in when there is speed of the object in a particular direction.
