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.
C. A mechanical wave generally travels faster in gases than liquids.
Answer:
a toy car speed is about 2.5 to 3.5 mph
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
