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 can we find the volume of a small pebble with the help of measuring cyilinder

ad-work [718]

We can find the volume of a small pebble with the help of measuring cylinder by using the water displacement method. The water displacement method is the process of measuring the volume of an irregularly shaped object by immersing it in water. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

A crate is placed on an adjustable, incline board. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the board is 0.29.

sasho [114]

Let the angle be Θ (theta)

Let the mass of the crate be m.

a) When the crate just begins to slip. At that moment the net force will be equal to zero and the static friction will be at the maximum vale.

Normal force (N) = mg CosΘ

μ (coefficient of static friction) = 0.29

Static friction = μN = μmg CosΘ

Now, along the ramp, the equation of net force will be:

mg SinΘ - μmg CosΘ = 0

mg SinΘ = μmg CosΘ

tan Θ = μ

tan Θ = 0.29

Θ = 16.17°

b) Let the acceleration be a.

Coefficient of kinetic friction = μ = 0.26

Now, the equation of net force will be:

mg sinΘ - μ mg CosΘ = ma

a = g SinΘ - μg CosΘ

Plugging the values

a = 9.8 × 0.278 - 0.26 × 9.8 × 0.96

a = 2.7244 - 2.44608

a = 0.278 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration is 0.278 m/s^2

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.

AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is $25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$ .

Initial velocity of the proton $u = 0$

Given potential difference $\Delta V = 350V$

let's assume that the speed of the proton is $v$ ,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge $q$ when accelerated with a potential difference $\Delta V$ is,

$U = q \Delta V$

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E i.e

$\Delta K = \Delta V$

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is $u$ and $v$ respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy $\implies \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0$

change in Potential Energy $\implies \Delta U = q\Delta V$

from conservation of energy,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}$

so, $v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

$= 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$

Observe: Air pressure is equal to the weight of a column of air on a particular location. Airpressure is measured in millibars (

lesya [120]

Answer:

a) When moving towards a high pressure center the pressure values increase in the equipment

b) This area is called high prison since the weight of the atmosphere on top is maximum

Explanation:

A) A high atmospheric pressure system is an area where the pressure is increasing the maximum value is close to 107 Kpa, the other side as low pressure can have small values 85.5 kPa.

When moving towards a high pressure center the pressure values increase in the equipment

B) This area is called high prison since the weight of the atmosphere on top is maximum

in general they are areas of good weather
