Velocity is the speed at which an object moves in a specific direction. It's measured in meters per second, minute or hour in a

particular direction—like miles per hour going north, kilometers per minute west or meters per second up. Velocity tells us both the speed and direction we are traveling. Acceleration is a change in velocity. It's measured by subtracting the object's starting velocity from the final velocity, divided by the time this change in velocity took. We usually think of acceleration as speeding up, but it can also mean slowing down. We call this negative acceleration or deceleration. If a car was driving 45 miles per hour northeast, and is now driving 30 miles per hour north, A the car’s velocity decelerated. B the car’s velocity accelerated. C the car’s velocity remained unchanged. D the car’s acceleration is 30 miles per hour.

Answer:

Option A. The car’s velocity decelerated

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 45 mph Northeast

Final velocity (v) = 30 mph North

Now, if we take the difference between the car's final velocity and it's Initial velocity, we shall obtained:

Difference in velocity = v – u

Difference in velocity = 30 – 45

Difference in velocity = –15 mph

Since the difference between the final velocity and the initial velocity of the car is negative, it implies that the car's velocity decelerated.

Thus, option A gives the correct answer to the question

What is the difference between amplitude and wavelength?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Letter b is wavelength. Letter a is amplitude.

Explanation:

Let's imagine a simple experiment. Imagine you have a long thick rope which one end is at your hands, and you start an oscillatory motion in it, moving your hand up and down. Then a friend of you take a picture of the rope in motion, looking at the rope laterally. Now let's find the wavelength and amplitude. Amplitude is "The distance from the center of the oscillation of the rope (when the rope was not in motion) to its high or low point", or the vertical displacement, in our experiment. On the other hand, wavelength is "The distance between one high point /low point and the next high point /low point". Take a look at a photo of a wave in your textbook and you will find the answer as well. ; )
