The answer is c
Explanation:
Speed and velocity have the same magnitudes. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. In other words, speed is just a magnitude, while velocity is a magnitude with direction. They're essentially the same.
Let's convert miles to meters and minutes to seconds
1/4 mile = 402.34 meters ( 1 mile = 1609 m)
13.1 minutes = 786 seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds)
Speed is calculated as distance over time, thus,
Speed = (402.34 meters)*8/786 seconds
a.) Speed = 4.1 m./s
b.) Velocity = 4.1 m/s
Answer:
<em>2 m/s</em>

Explanation:
The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as
where is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V
is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m
is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?
is the magnetic field = 0.120 T
substituting, we have
2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x
2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x
= 2.88/1.44 = <em>2 m/s</em>
<span>When an object travels in a curved path, there must be a force acting toward the center of the circular trajectory. This force is called "centripetal force", and it cause an acceleration of the object, called "centripetal acceleration". The effect of this acceleration is that the velocity of the object changes in direction: however if the circular motion is uniform, the speed (=the magnitude of the velocity) does not change. In this case, the magnitude of the centripetal force is given by

where m is the mass of the object, v its velocity, and r the radius of the circular path.</span>
