If the police are chasing a runaway car why is knowing the velocity of the car important

Physics
1 answer:
atroni [7]3 years ago
8 0

If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.

You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.

Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.

ivann1987 [24]
This question is incomplete, but I can do it for you, considering the equation to be *In its most famous form*:
A+B⇒C+D
A and B here are the reactants, while C and D are the products.
The reactants are generally the input materials in the beginning of any chemical reactions and they usually, if not always, are on the left hand side of the chemical equation. While the products are on the right hand side and are the final output of the chemical reaction.

Hope this helps.

kiruha [24]

If the potential is given by v = xy - 3z-2, then the electric field has a y-component of X

When the charge is present in any form, a point in space has an electric field that is connected to it. The value of E, often known as the electric field strength, electric field intensity, or just the electric field, expresses the strength and direction of the electric field.

Each location in space where a charge exists in any form can be considered to have an electric field attached to it. The electric force per unit charge is another name for an electric field. The electric field's equation is given as E = F / Q. Volts per meter (V/m) is the electric field's SI unit. Newton's per coulomb unit is the same as this one.
