Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves

Physics
1 answer:
Artemon [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

calculating displacement.

Explanation:

It's not true that displacement and distance would be the same always. Displacement is always smaller than or equal to distance as it is the smallest path between the initial and final point whereas distance is the measure of the total path covered.

A ball thrown horizontally at 12.6 m/s from the roof of a building lands 20.0 m from the base of the building
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1.59 seconds

12.3 meters

but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.

Explanation:

This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.

Time

<u>Given</u>

a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.

d = 20 m

v = 12.6 m/s

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi * t + 1/2at^2

<u>Solution</u>

Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to

d = vi * t

20 = 12.6 * t

t = 20 / 12.6

t = 1.59 seconds.

It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground

Height of the building

<u>Givens</u>

t = 1.59 sec

vi = 0     Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0

a = 9.8 m/s^2   The acceleration is vertical.

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

<u>Solution</u>

d = 1/2 a*t^2

d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2

d = 12.3 meters.

The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)

The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.

A discharge lamp rated at 25 W (1 W = 1 J/s) emits yellow light of wavelength 580 nm. How many photons of yellow light does the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

the number of photons of yellow light does the lamp generate in 1.0 s is 7 x 10^{19}

Explanation:

given information:

power, P = 25 W

wavelength. λ - 580 nm = 5.80 x 10^{-7} m

time, t = 1 s

to calculate the number of photon(N), we use the following equation

N = λPt/hc

where

λ = wavelength (m)

P = power (W)

t = time interval (s)

h = Planck's constant (6.23 x 10^{-34} Js)

c = light's velocity (3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

So,

N = λPt/hc

   = (5.80 x 10^{-7})(25)(1)/(6.23 x 10^{-34})(3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

    = 7 x 10^{19}

How do you determine the wattage capacity needed by a power supply?
Lady bird [3.3K]
We could use the formula for the Power supply in order to find the wattage capacity and it would be:

P = V²/R or P = V * I

Hope this helps!
