For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.

A cyclist turns a corner with a radius of 50m at a speed of 10m/s. What is the cyclist's acceleration?

garri49 [273]

Answer:

2 m/s^2

Explanation:

a = v^2/r

a = (10m/s)^2 / 50m

a = 2 m/s^2

Many Amtrak trains can travel at a top speed of 42.0 m/s. Assuming a train maintains that speed for several hours, how many kilo

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

605 km

Explanation:

Hello

the same units of measure should be used, then

Step 1

convert 42 m/s ⇒ km/h

1 km =1000 m

1 h = 36000 sec

$42 \frac{m}{s}*\frac{1\ km}{1000\ m}=0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\ 0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\$

$0.042\ \frac{km}{s}*\frac{3600\ s}{1\ h} =151.2 \frac{km}{h}\\ \\Velocity =151.2\ \frac{km}{h}$

Step 2

find kilometers traveled after 4 hours

$V=\frac{s}{t}\\ \\$

V,velocity

s, distance traveled

t. time

now, isolating s

$V=\frac{s}{t} \\s=V * t\\$

and replacing

$s=V * t\\s=151.2\frac{km}{h}*4 hours\\ s=604.8 km\\$

S=604.8 Km

a force of 25 newtons moves a box a distance of 4 meeters in 5 seconds.the work done on the box is ? NM and the power is. ? nm/

miskamm [114]

Answer:

The work done on the box is 100 Nm

The power is 20 Nm/s

Explanation:

There is a force 25 newtons moves a box a distance of 4 meters in

5 seconds

The work done on the box is the product of the force and the distance

that the box moves ⇒ work = force × distance

The force = 25 newtons

the distance = 4 meters

Work = 25 × 4 = 100 NM

The work done on the box is 100 Nm

The force moves the box 4 meters in 5 seconds

The power is the rate of work

The power = work ÷ time

The work = 100 Nm

The time = 5 seconds

The power = 100 ÷ 5 = 20 Nm/s

The power is 20 Nm/s
