Define scalar quantity​

Physics
2 answers:
joja [24]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

Scalar quantities are physical quantities which have a magnitude and direction.

e.g. in 5 km, 5 is the magnitude(number) and km is the unit.

some scalar quantities are mass, length, distance, speed, power, energy, temperature etc.

Answer: Values with magnitude but without direction

Explanation:

Majorly there exists two types of quantities, Scalar and Vector.

Vectors: Quantities, with magnitude and direction.

Example: Force, Displacement

Scalars: Quantities, with magnitude but without direction.

Example: Weight, Length, Quantity

we do not need direction to define weight,

it is just 5 kilograms, and NOT 5 kilograms towards east.

A student shakes a rope such that 20 complete vibrations are made in 4.00 seconds. Determine the vibrational frequency of the ro
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The vibrational frequency of the rope is 5 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

number of complete oscillation of the rope, n = 20

time taken to make the oscillations, t = 4.00 s

The vibrational frequency of the rope is calculated as follows;

Frequency = \frac{number \ of \ complete \ vibrations}{time \ taken} \\\\Frequency = \frac{20 }{4 \ s} \\\\Frequency = 5 \ Hz

Therefore, the vibrational frequency of the rope is 5 Hz.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in
DedPeter [7]

The magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force F₁ is applied to the left side of the left cube causing both cubes to move at a constant speed v. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cubes and the surface is 0.3.

From the equilibrium of forces in vertical direction

Normal force N= 2m x g

friction force f = μN =μ(2m)g

From the equilibrium of forces in horizontal direction

F₁ =ma =0

using Newton's third law of motion, we get

F₁  - f =0

F₁  =f = μ(2m)g

Put the values, we get

F₁  = 17.64N

Thus, magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

The Ha line of the Balmer series is emitted in the transition from n-3 to n 2. Compute the wavelength of this line for H and 2H.
Citrus2011 [14]

Explanation:

According to Rydberg's formula, the wavelength of the balmer series is given by:

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

R is Rydberg constant for an especific hydrogen-like atom, we may calculate R for hydrogen and deuterium atoms from:

R=\frac{R_{\infty}}{(1+\frac{m_e}{M})}

Here, R_{\infty} is the "general" Rydberg constant, m_e is electron's mass and M is the mass of the atom nucleus

For hydrogen, we have, M=1.67*10^{-27}kg:

R_H=\frac{1.09737*10^7m^{-1}}{(1+\frac{9.11*10^{-31}kg}{1.67*10^{-27}kg})}\\R_H=1.09677*10^7m^{-1}

Now, we calculate the wavelength for hydrogen:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})\\\lambda=[R_H(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})]^{-1}\\\lambda=[1.0967*10^7m^{-1}(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})]^{-1}\\\lambda=6.5646*10^{-7}m=656.46nm

For deuterium, we have M=2(1.67*10^{-27}kg):

R_D=\frac{1.09737*10^7m^{-1}}{(1+\frac{9.11*10^{-31}kg}{2*1.67*10^{-27}kg})}\\R_D=1.09707*10^7m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=[R_D(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})]^{-1}\\\lambda=[1.09707*10^7m^{-1}(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})]^{-1}\\\lambda=6.5629*10^{-7}=656.29nm

How do scientists measure the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for dates prior to the 1955?
Debora [2.8K]

The scientists measured the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for dates prior to 1955, From air bubbles in glacial ice cores.

Almost 412 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide are currently present in the Earth's atmosphere, and that number is increasing. This indicates an 11 per cent increase since 2000, when the concentration was close to 370 ppm, and a 47 per cent increase since the start of the Industrial Age when the concentration was close to 280 ppm. Most of the time, scientists do not consider Carbon dioxide as a percentage of the earth's atmosphere. It helps to picture a million equal pieces of an atmospheric gas sample.
