No, speed is not a vector. it is scalar.

because it doesn't need direction but need magnitude.

Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in its orbit is 33 kilometers per second (
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not  when it is farthest away.

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun with the center of each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time"

This means that when a planet is further away from the Sun, it will move slower (because the line is longer, so it must move slower), while when the planet is closer to the Sun, it will move faster (because the line is shorter, so it must move faster).

In the text of this problem, it is written that the planet moves at 31 km/s when is close to the star and 35 km/s when it is farthest: this is in disagreement with what we said above, therefore the correct option is

E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not  when it is farthest away.

An object is five focal lengths from a concave mirror.how do the object and image heights compare?
enot [183]

An object distance is presented as s = 5f and we know that the mirror equation relates the image distance to the object distance and the focal length.

The mirror equation is 1/f = 1/s + 1/s’ where the variable f stands for the focal length of the mirror. Variable (s) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the object and the variable <span>(s’) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the image. </span>

In addition, a concave mirror will have a positive focal length (f) and a convex mirror will have a negative focal length (f).

Now, we then have 1/f = 1/5f + 1/s’ which is s’ = 5f/4

Then we get the magnification ratio that expresses the size or amount of magnification or reduction of the object or image and to get the magnification, we use this equation: M= s’/s

M= 5f/4x5f

s’ = 1/4s

Therefore, the image height is one fourth of the object height

The distance recorded for riding a motorcycle on its rear wheel without stopping is more than 320 km! Suppose the rider in this
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

<h3>14.97m/s</h3>

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of the car u = 8m/s

Distance travelled by the rider S = 40m

Acceleration a = 2m/s²

Required

rider's velocity after the acceleration v

Using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

v² = 8²+2(2)(40)

v² = 64+160

v² = 224

v = √224

v = 14.97m/s

Hence the rider's velocity after the acceleration is 14.97m/s

3. A coil of 100 turns encloses an area of 100 cm2. It is placed at an angle of 700 with a
sasho [114]

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in the coil, N = 100

Area of the coil, A = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

It is placed at an angle of 70°.

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 Wb/m²

We need to find the magnetic flux through the coil and the emf is induced in the coil after 10⁻³ s.

Magnetic flux is given by :

\phi =BA\cos\theta\\\\\text{For N turns},\\\phi =NBA\cos\theta \\\\\phi=100\times 0.1\times 0.01\times \cos(70)\\\\=0.034\ Wb

So, the magnetic flux through the coil is 0.1 Wb.

Emf induced in the coil is :

\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\=\dfrac{0.034}{10^{-3}}\\\\=34\ V

So, 34V of emf is induced in the coil.
