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.

A raft has a mass of 152 kg. When a
trapecia [35]

Answer:

72 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the mass of the person is shown below:

As we know that

Water displaced weight = Raft weight + person weight

P_w.V = M_r + M_p

where

P_w denotes the water density i.e. 1000 kg/m^3

V denotes the volume of the water in m^3

Now

1000 × 0.224 = 152 + M_p

M_p = 224 - 152

= 72 kg

The human nerve cells have a net negative charge and the material in the interior of the cell is a good conductor. if the cell h
mash [69]

The magnitude and direction (inward or outward) of the net flux through the cell boundary is - 0.887 wb.m².

<h3>What is flux?</h3>

Flux describes any effect that appears to pass or travel through a surface or substance.

The magnitude and direction (inward or outward) of the net flux through the cell boundary is calculated as follows;

Ф = Q/ε

where;

  • Q is net charge
  • ε is permittivity of free space

Φ = (-7.85 x 10⁻¹²)/(8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

Φ = - 0.887 wb.m²

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

500 N

Explanation:

Since the work done on the spring W = Fx where F = force applied and x = compression length = 0.170 m (since the spring will be compressed its full length when the force is applied)

Since W = 85.0 J and we need to find F,

F = W/x

= 85.0 J/0.170 m

= 500 N

So, the  magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform stationary at the final distance given above is 500 N.

The resistance of resistor is greater for:
Monica [59]

Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L =  length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.

In what way would a digital thermometer be preferable to those from a liquid-based thermometer?
garik1379 [7]
Reading a digital thermometer is more preferable because you can just easily read the measurement from a screen, a number will just show in a screen as compared to a liquid-based thermometer where you still have to read the measurement by counting the markers in the thermometer. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!
