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.

A smooth circular hoop with a radius of 0.800 m is placed flat on the floor. A 0.300-kg particle slides around the inside edge o

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a)11.25 J

b)Number of revolution = 1

Explanation:

Given that

Radius ,r= 0.8 m

m= 0.3 kg

Initial speed ,u= 10 m/s

final speed ,v= 5 m/s

Initial energy

$KE_i=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

$KE_i=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 10^2$

KEi= 15 J

Final kinetic energy

$KE_f=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_f=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 5^2$

KEf=3.75 J

The energy transformed from mechanical to internal = 15 - 3.75 J = 11.25 J

The minimum value to complete the circular arc

$V=\sqrt{r.g}$

Now by putting the values

$V=\sqrt{0.8\times 10}$

V= 2.82 m/s

So kinetic energy KE

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2$

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 2.82^2$

KE=1.19 J

ΔKE= KEi - KE

ΔKE= 15- 1.19 J

ΔKE=13.80 J

The minimum energy required to complete 2 revolutions = 2 x 11.25 J

= 22.5 J

Here 22.5 J is greater than 13.8 J.So the particle will complete only one revolution.

Number of revolution = 1

Find the time it takes for each object to accelerate from 0m/s to 40 m/s when pushed with 100N of force

Ivan

Answer:

40s

Explanation:

Given:

F=100N

V=40m/s and 0

force=change in momenton

F=mv-mu

t=40(100-0)/100

t=40/1

t=40s

A force gives a 2.0 kg mass an acceleration of 5.0 m/s2 on a level surface. What is the force applied to the mass?

Verdich [7]

So you can use the equation force = mass x acceleration to do 2 x 5 to get 10 N

If an electromagnetic wave has components Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt) and Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt), in what direction is it traveling?

fomenos

Answer:

Its traveling in the +x direction

Explanation:

The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.
