When you see a quantity like 20 m/s N, how do you know that it's a vector quantity and not a scalar quantity?

We know that 20 m/s N is a vector quantity because N in the expression signifies the direction

<h3>What is a vector quantity?</h3>

This is a which have both magnitude and direction. Example include:

  • Velocity
  • Displacement
  • Force
  • Acceleration
  • Moment
  • Weight

<h3>How to determine whether 20 m/s N is a vector quantity</h3>
  • 20 m/s indicates just the speed i.e magnitude
  • 20 m/s N indicates the speed i.e magnitude why the N indicates the direction.

Thus, we can conclude that 20 m/s N is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determi
Talja [164]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

 <span>Average = 80 
So Sum = 80 * 5 = 400 
Mode = 88, so two results are 88 (if three results were 88, then the median would be 88). 
Three results are 81, 88, and 88. 
That leaves 143. We could still have one 81 score, so that leaves the lowest score as 62. 

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determined by the equation d = 144 - 16t2, where t is the number of seconds it takes the car to travel down to each point on the ride. How many seconds will it take Greg to reach the ground? 
d = 144 - 16t2 
0 = 144 - 16t2 
16t^2=144 
t^2=9 
t=3</span>

A car of mass 800kg travels a distance of 40m at constant speed in a duration of 2.0s. The car exerts a forward force of 15kN.
Alex17521 [72]

W = F × s

W = 15kN × 40 m

W = 15.000 N × 40 m

W = 600.000 J

P = W/t

P = 600.000 J/2 s

P = 300.000 Watt

P = 300kWatt

Find the wavelength of the third line in the lyman series, and identify the type of em radiation.
Natalija [7]

The wavelength of the third line in the Lyman series, and identify the type of EM radiation

In this series, the spectral lines are obtained when an electron makes a transition from any high energy level (n=2,3,4,5... ). The wavelength of light emitted in this series lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

1 / lambda = R(h)* ( \frac{1}{(n1)^{2} } -   \frac{1}{(n2)^{2} })

                 = 109678 ( \frac{1}{1^{2} } -  \frac{1}{3^{2} } )

                 = 109678 (8/9)

   Lambda = 9 / (109678 * 8 )

                  = 102.6 * 10^{-9} m = 102.6 nm
