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.

Imagine holding a basketball in both hands, throwing it straight up as high as you can, and then catching it when it falls. At w
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.

What is the Gravitational Potential Energy of a 30 kg box lifted 1.5 meters off the ground?
juin [17]

Answer:

<h2>441 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 30 × 9.8 × 1.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>441 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

State pascal law and write three instrument which base unit?​
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle[1][2][3] or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.[4] The law was established by French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1653 and published in 1663.[5][6]

You push a table 8 meters for 16 minuutes and do 6720 j of work how much power do ypu use
Yuri [45]
P=W/t

P=Power
W=Work
t=Time

Convert 16 minutes in seconds:
16 mins = 960 secs

P=6720/960=7.23 W [Watt]

The mass of the uniform cantilever is 1100 kg. Determine the force on the beam at A. Determine the force on the beam at B. Use C
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Force A=-−2,697.75 N

Force B=13, 488.75 N

Explanation:

Taking moments at point A, the sum of clockwise and anticlockwise moments equal to zero.

25 mg-20Fb=0

25*1100g=20Fb

Fb=25*1100g/20=1375g

Taking g as 9.81 then Fb=1375*9.81=13,488.75 N

The sum of upward and downward forces are same hence Fa=1100g-1375g=-275g

-275*9.81=−2,697.75. Therefore, force A pulls downwards

Note that the centre of gravity is taken to be half the whole length hence half of 50 is 25 m because center of gravity is always at the middle
