Answer:

Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings (despite their similarities), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed; it covers a relatively small amount of distance in the same amount of time. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.

<em>The car is accelerating</em> (during the short time that it's turning from East to North).

ANY change in speed or direction of motion is acceleration.  Since the car is changing direction, it is accelerating, even though its speed is constant.

Suppose that a person riding on the top of a freight car shines a searchlight beam in the direction in which the train is travel
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

same

Explanation:

Acc. to Einstien's postulate of special theory of

Relativity , Velocity of the light beam is same in all frames of references

(a) If the freight car is at rest

The frame we can assumed as Non - inertial frame  of reference s

In the inertial frame of reference , velocity  of the light beam  has its own value as : 3 x 10^8 m/s

(b) If the freight car is moving , the frame we can assumed as  Non -inertial frame of reference    

In thus case also , The velocity of the light beam  will also have  the same value as ; 3 x 108 m/s

Explain how electricity can be conducted by acids ad=nd bases
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>So are strong bases. The reason acids and bases conduct electricity is that when they are mixed with water, they "separate" into ions. And the ions are charge carriers. These charge carriers can be made to carry a charge (which is why that description fits them).</span>

nalin [4]
<span>Each force is the same size. For every action, there is an equal. The fact that the firefly splatters only means that with its smaller mass, it is not able to withstand the larger acceleration resulting from the interaction. </span>
