The correct answer to the question is it has direction .

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand a vector.

A vector is a physical quantity which not only requires magnitude but also direction for its complete specification. It is also in accordance with parallelogram law of vector addition.

The speed of a body is a scalar quantity. It has only magnitude . On the other hand, velocity is the speed in a given direction. Hence, it has magnitude as well as direction.

The speed of a body is simply distance travelled per unit time while velocity is the net displacement of a body per unit time. Since, time is relative and dependent on frame of reference, so both speed and velocity depend on frame of reference.

The area marked X lies in velocity region will contain the properties which are not in speed region.

Hence, the area marked X will denote simply that velocity has direction.

A ship sailing in the Gulf Stream is heading 25.0º west of north at a speed of 4.00 m/s relative to the water. Its velocity rela

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Velocity of Gulf Stream= $34.5^\circ$ west of north at a speed of $2.03\ \rm m/s$

Explanation:

Given

speed of ship relative to Gulf stream= $25^\circ$ west of north at a speed of 4 m/s

speed of ship relative to earth= $5^\circ$ west of north at a speed of 4 .8 m/s

Let $V_S$ be the velocity of the ship relative to the earth and $V_{sg}$ be the velocity of the ship with respect to the Gulf stream

Let the west direction be negative x axis and north direction be positive x axis

Now

$V_{sg}=-4\sin25^\circ \vec i+4\cos25^\circ \vec j\\V_s-V_g=-4\sin25^\circ \vec i+4\cos25^\circ \vec j\\-4.8\sin5^\circ \vec i+4.8\cos5^\circ \vec j-V_g=-4\sin25^\circ \vec i+4\cos25^\circ \vec j\\Vg=-1.68\vec\ i+1.156\vec\ j\ \rm m/s\\$

magnitude of the velocity is given by

$V_g=\sqrt{(1.68^2+1.156^2)}\\V_g=2.03\ \rm m/s\\$

Let the velocity of gulf stream makes an angle $\theta$ with the positive y axis we have

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.156}{1.68}\\\theta=34.5^\circ$

Velocity of Gulf Stream $34.5^\circ$ west of north at a speed of $2.03\ \rm m/s$
