What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
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 is the idea behind the law of multiple proportions?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements can combine in different ratios to form different compounds, the masses of the element combining with the fixed mass of another element result in whole number ratios. This shows that the law of multiple proportions is followed

A cat jumps from 2.5-meter-tall bookshelf to a 1.3-meter-tall countertop. If the cat
UkoKoshka [18]

The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

Three 7 0hm resistors are connected in series across a 10 V battery. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Tomtit [17]

Given

Three 7 ohm resistor are in series.

The battery is V=10V

To find

The equivalent resistance

Explanation

When the resistance are in series then the resistance are added to find its equivalent.

Thus the equivalent resistance is:

R=7+7+7=21\Omega

Conclusion

The equivalent resistance is 21 ohm

A box has a mass of 400 g. What minimum force is needed to lift it?
mart [117]

Answer: 3.92 N.

Explanation:

Your box weighs 400g, or 0.4kg. In order to lift it, you need to overcome the force of gravity. F = ma, and acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s^2. So gravity acts on the box with a force of 0.4 kg * -9.8 m/s^2 = -3.92 N. A force of +3.92 N is required to overcome this.
