It’s important because if you were let’s say training to see how far you go in 10sec you need to record your data to see how much you are improving in that skill or something

Check all of the following statements that describe velocity.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Choices A, B, and C are correct.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

A. It is a vector

Yes. Velocity is a vector, or it's a speed with direction.

B. It is the change in displacement divided by the change in time.

Yes. The velocity can be written as

v = \dfrac{\Delta\bold{x}}{\Delta t}

where \bold{x} is the displacement—a vector quantity.

C. It can be measured in meters per second.

Yes. The units of velocity are m/s, but also with a unit vector indicating the direction.

D. It is the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph.

Nope. The velocity is the slope of displacement vs. time graph.

Hence, only choices A, B, and C are correct.

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V 0 = 2.5 V V0=2.5 V . The dielectric constant of paper is κ =
forsale [732]

Answer:

V_1=9.25 V

Explanation:

We are given that

V_0=2.5 V

k=3.7

We have to find the new potential difference of the capacitor.

When the capacitor is disconnected then the charge stored in capacitor is constant.

When we introduce material of dielectric constant k between the plates of capacitor then the capacitance of capacitor increases k times.

C_0=\frac{Q}{V_0}

C'=kC=\frac{kQ}{V_1}

\frac{Q}{V_0}=\frac{kQ}{V_1}

V_0=\frac{V_1}{k}

Using the formula

V_0=\frac{V_1}{k}

V_1=V_0k=2.5\times 3.7=9.25 V

Hence, the new potential difference V_1=9.25 V

A 75.0-kg person is riding in a car moving at 20.0 m/s when the car runs into a bridge abutment. (a) calculate the average force
iragen [17]

(a) -1.5\cdot 10^6 N

First of all, we need to calculate the acceleration of the person, by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 -u ^2 = 2ad

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 1.00 cm = 0.01 m is the displacement of the person

Solving for a,

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-20.0^2}{2(0.01)}=-20000 m/s^2

And the average force on the person is given by

F=ma

with m = 75.0 kg being the mass of the person. Substituting,

F=(75)(-20000)=-1.5\cdot 10^6 N

where the negative sign means the force is opposite to the direction of motion of the person.

b) -1.0\cdot 10^5 N

In this case,

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d  = 15.00 cm = 0.15 m is the displacement of the person with the air bag

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-20.0^2}{2(0.15)}=-1333 m/s^2

So the average force on the person is

F=ma=(75)(-1333)=-1.0\cdot 10^5 N
