Speed is a scalar quantity.

Speed ascertain how fast a body moves.

$\large \sf \: Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

____________________________

Velocity is a vector quantity.

Velocity Ascertain the object speed & the director on it takes while moving.

$\large \sf \: velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$

The difference between the two concepts lies in the type of magnitude they represent, speed is a scalar magnitude, while velocity is a vectorial magnitude.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

It is the variation of distance in a certain time as a consequence of the movement of a mobile element.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

It is the vectorial magnitude that shows and expresses the variation in terms of position of an object and as a function of time.

Therefore, we can conclude that speed is a scalar magnitude that determines the ratio of the distance traveled by a body and velocity is a vectorial magnitude that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time used for it and its direction.

A circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i, has its central axis parallel to a uniform m

Aneli [31]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

The force on a coil of N turns, enclosing an area, A and carrying a current I in the presence of a magnetic field B, is :

F = N * I * A * B * sinθ

Where θ is the angle between the normal of the enclosed area and the magnetic field.

Since the normal of the area is parallel to the magnetic field, θ = 0

Hence:

F = NIABsin0

F = 0 or Zero

A banked circular highway curve is designed for traffic moving at 58 km/h. The radius of the curve is 201 m. Traffic is moving a

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:0.077

Explanation:

Given

banked designed for traffic moving at $58 km/h\approx 16.11 m/s$

Radius of the curve 201 m

Actual traffic velocity = $37 km/h approx 10.27 m/s$

For banking of road

$tan\theta =\frac{v^2}{rg}$

$tan\theta =\frac{16.11^2}{201\times 9.81}$

$\theta =7.49^{\circ}$

Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Taking component of centripetal acceleration

along and perpendicular to surface

$a_{parallel}=\frac{v^2cos\theta }{r}$

$a_{perpendicular}=\frac{v^2sin\theta }{r}$

From FBD

$mgsin\theta -f_s=ma_{parallel}$

$f_s=mgsin\theta -ma_{parallel}$ ----1

where $f_s$ is frictional force

$N-mgcos\theta =ma_{perpedicular}$

$N=mgcos\theta +ma_{perpedicular}$ ----2

and we know coefficient of friction is given by

$\mu =\frac{f_s}{N}$

$\mu =\frac{mgsin\theta -ma_{parallel}}{mgcos\theta +ma_{perpedicular}}$

$\mu =\frac{gsin\theta -\frac{v^2cos\theta }{r}}{gcos\theta +\frac{v^2sin\theta }{r}}$

$\mu =\frac{1.2804-0.5202}{9.726+0.068}$

$\mu =0.077$

The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a w

lbvjy [14]

R is proportional to the length of the wire:

R ∝ length

R is also proportional to the inverse square of the diameter:

R ∝ 1/diameter²

The resistance of a wire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26in is 9850Ω. Now let's change the shape of the wire, adding and subtracting material as we go along, such that the wire is now 2800ft and has a diameter of 0.1in.

Calculate the scale factor due to the changed length:

k₁ = 2800/2700 = 1.037

Scale factor due to changed diameter:

k₂ = 1/(0.1/0.26)² = 6.76

Multiply the original resistance by these factors to get the new resistance:

R = R₀k₁k₂

R₀ = 9850Ω, k₁ = 1.037, k₂ = 6.76

R = 9850(1.037)(6.76)

R = 69049.682Ω

Round to the nearest hundredth:

R = 69049.68Ω
