What is the difference between speed and velocity?

1 answer:

7 0

It’s C) because we know that velocity is a vector quantity with direction and speed is only quantity. For example, velocity could be 5 m/s to the east but speed would only be 5 m/s

What does it mean when we say two objects are in equilibrium

cupoosta [38]

An object is considered to be in a condition of equilibrium when it is balanced with regard to all external forces.

Equilibrium:

An object is considered to be in equilibrium if both its angular acceleration and the acceleration of its center of mass are equal to zero. In layman's terms: The item must either be at rest or moving at a constant speed if it is not accelerating because F = ma (force = mass x acceleration). Even in motion, a body can be in equilibrium. This kind of equilibrium is referred to as a dynamic equilibrium.

A weight suspended by a spring or a brick laying on a flat surface is an example. The equilibrium is unstable if the force with the smallest deviation tends to increase the displacement. As an example, imagine a ball bearing on the edge of a razor blade.

Driving along a crowded freeway, you notice that it takes a time tt to go from one mile marker to the next. When you increase yo

ddd [48]

Answer:

38.6 mi/h

Explanation:

7.4 mi/h = 7.4mi/h * (1/60)hour/min * (1/60) min/s = 0.00206 mi/s

Let v (mi/s) be your original speed, then the time t it takes to go 1 mi/s is

t = 1/v

Since you increase v by 0.00206 mi/s, your time decreases by 15 s, this means

t - 15 = 1/(v+0.00206)

We can substitute t = 1/v to solve for v

$\frac{1}{v} - 15 = \frac{1}{v + 0.00206}$

We can multiply both sides of the equation with v(v+0.00206)

v+0.00206 - 15v(v+0.00206) = v

$-15v^2 - 0.0308v + 0.00206 = 0$

$v= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$v= \frac{0.03083\pm \sqrt{(-0.03083)^2 - 4*(-15)*(0.00205)}}{2*(-15)}$

$v= \frac{0.03083\pm0.35}{-30}$

v = -0.01278 or v = 0.01 0724 mi/s

Since v can only be positive we will pick v = 0.010724 mi/s or 0.010724*3600 = 38.6 mi/h

Approximately how much heat energy does it take to raise 1 kg of water by 1 k?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

4186 Joules

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1 Kelvin. In formula,

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
