Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

This is a case of velocity, since velocity apart from having magnitude also has direction. the person walks at 8 [m/s] to the North.

When we talk about speed, we only talk about the magnitude without taking into account the direction.

Answer:

I think it is velocity.

because velocity shows the direction and magnitude .

what was the acceleration of the cart with Low fan speed cm/s squared? what was the acceleration of the cart with medium fan spe

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

The attached figure shows data for the cart speed, distance and time.

For low fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 7.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{7.4}\\\\v=67.56\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{67.56}{7.4}\\\\a=9.12\ cm/s^2$

For medium fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 6.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{6.4}\\\\v=78.12\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{78.12}{6.4}\\\\a=12.2\ cm/s^2$

For high fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 5.6 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{5.6}\\\\v=89.28\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{89.28}{5.6}\\\\a=15.94\ cm/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe how an electromagnet can be switched on and off.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:The magnetic field around an electromagnet is just the same as the one around a bar magnet. It can, however, be reversed by turning the battery around. Unlike bar magnets, which are permanent magnets, the magnetism of electromagnets can be turned on and off just by closing or opening the switch.

A light bulb operating at a dc voltage of 120 V has a power rating of 60 W. How much current is flowing through this bulb

densk [106]

Voltage=V=120V
Power=P=60W

Current=I

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5A$
