Answer by mimiwhatsup: B) Velocity is a vector and requires a direction to completely describe it.
Velocity is the speed and direction of an object in motion.
Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s
Explanation:
M = father's mass
m = son's mass = M/3
V = father's initial speed
v = son's initial speed
(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2
M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2
V^2/v^2 = 1/4
V = v/2
Second equation:
(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2
= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2
cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s
(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2
V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2
V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0
V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45
V = 1.57
The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:
Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s
The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.
repeated mesurement can reduce the error
it is true
if you take any mesurement repeatedly and the average is taken, the error will be less
