Answer:

speed is the rate of change in distance thus it is scalar physical quantity

while velocity is the rate of change in displacement thus it is a vector physical quantity

Explanation:

vector physical quantity: is a quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to identify

scalar quantity: requires only magnitude to identify.

How does an electroscope detect negative static electricity

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

<span> An electroscope that might have a static charge is tested on a metal surface. From there, the charges move to the metal and straight to the foil leaves. If they repel, or move away from each other, that means they have identical charges. This applies for both positive and negative static electricity.

The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto is about . 0.61 meters/second2. How much will an object that weighs 250 ne

Annette [7]

First, determine the mass of the object by dividing its weight on Earth by 9.8 m/s² as shown below,
m = 250 N / 9.8 m/s² = 25.51 kg
Then, multiply the obtained mass by the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto.
W (in Pluto) = (25.51 kg) x (0.61 m/s²) = 15.56 N
Therefore, the object will only weigh 15.56 N.

One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

$F_y=ma_y$ (2)

$F_x=ma_x$ (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

$F_y=W+n=0$

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

$F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0$

$n=7406.55 N$ (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

$F_x=F+f=ma_x$

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

$1988+f=m(1.36)$

$f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N$

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

$|f|=\mu_k n$

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

$\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13$
