What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Answer:

Acceleration of that planet is 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Given:

initial speed of hammer = 0 \frac{m}{s}

time = 1 s

distance = 15 m

To find:

Acceleration due to gravity = ?

Formula used:

Distance covered by hammer is given by,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

s = distance

u = initial speed of hammer

t = time taken by hammer to reach ground

a = acceleration

Solution:

Distance covered by hammer is given by,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

s = distance

u = initial speed of hammer

t = time taken by hammer to reach ground

a = acceleration

u = 0

t = 1 s

s = 15 m

a = g

Thus substituting these value in above equation.

15 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} g 1^{2}

g = 15 × 2

g = 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Thus, acceleration of that planet is 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Find :
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

b) Gravity reduces the initial upward velocity to zero in a time of

t = v/g = 40/10 = 4 s

a) h =  v₀t + ½gt² = 40(4) +  ½(-10)4² = 80 m

or

v² = u² + 2as

h = (0² - 40²) / 2(-10) = 80 m
