A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.
I hope this helps you.
Answer:
Explanation:
separation between two gaps, d = 5 cm
angle between central and second order maxima, θ = 0.52°
use
d Sinθ = n λ
n = 2
0.05 x Sin 0.52° = 2 x λ
λ = 2.27 x 10^-4 m
λ = 226.9 micro metre
Since the new distance is 3 times the old distance,
the new force is (1/3²) = 1/9th of the old force.
That's kind-of Choice-D, but I really don't like the way choice-D is worded.
"9 times smaller" is really pretty meaningless.
Answer: 6.12 kg
Explanation:
Since Mass of ball = ? (let the unknown value be Z)
Acceleration due to gravity, g= 9.8m/s^2
Height, h = 1.5 metres
Gravitational potential energy GPE = 90J
Gravitational potential energy depends on the weight of the ball, the action of gravity and height.
Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h
90J = Z x 9.8m/s^2 x 1.5m
90 = Z x 14.7
Z = 90/14.7
Z = 6.12 kg
Thus, the bowling ball weigh 6.12 kilograms
Using the addition of forces using right angled triangles. The resultant force sqaured. = 112.8 sqaured + 52.6 squared. So resultant force sqaured is 15490.6. So the resultant force is the sqaure root of this which is 124N to 3 significant figures
