Differentiate scalar & vector quantity?
Keith_Richards [23]
\textbf{Hello Friend}


Scalar Quantity :-

→ These are the quantities with magnitude only . These quantities doesn't have to be mentioned with direction

eg.)=> Mass , Temprature .



Vector Quantity :-

→ These quantities are described with both Magnitude and Direction . These quantities follow special type of algebra called Vector algebra .


eg.)=> Force , Displacement

The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 23
Burka [1]

Answer:

a) v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}, b) v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

a) The equation for vertical velocity is obtained by deriving the function with respect to time:

v(t) = 23.5 -9.8\cdot t

The velocities at given instants are, respectivelly:

v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}

v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}

A plane travelling at 63 m/s[S] down a runway begins accelerating uniformly at 2.8 m/s?[S]. How far does it travel
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

270 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 63 m/s

a = 2.8 m/s²

t = 4.0 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (63 m/s) (4.0 s) + ½ (2.8 m/s²) (4.0 s)²

Δx = 274.4 m

Rounded to two significant figures, the displacement is 270 meters.

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp
Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r   --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

<u>F₁ = 4 F₀</u>

You are designing an elevator for a hospital. The force exerted on a passenger by the floor of the elevator is not to exceed 1.7
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

5.62 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's law of motion can be used to determine the maximum speed of the elevator. In the question, we are given:

Force exerted by the elevator (R) = 1.7 times the weight of the passenger (m*g)

Thus: R = 1.7*m*g

Distance (s) = 2.3 m

Newton's second law of motion: R - m*g = m*a

1.7*m*g - m*g = m*a

a = 0.7*m*g/m = 0.7*g = 0.7*9.8 = 6.86 m/s²

To determine the maximum speed:

v^{2} _{f} = v^{2} _{i} + 2as= 0 + 2(6.86)(2.3) = 31.556

v_{f} = \sqrt{31.556} = 5.62 m/s

Therefore, the elevator maximum speed is equivalent to 5.62 m/s.
