Which of the following are scalar quantities?

Physics
1 answer:
kirill [66]3 years ago
3 0

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.

A horizontal 810-N merry-go-round of radius 1.60 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 55 N applied tangentia
Sloan [31]

Answer:

576 joules

Explanation:

From the question we are given the following:

weight = 810 N

radius (r) = 1.6 m

horizontal force (F) = 55 N

time (t) = 4 s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}

where MI is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity

MI = 0.5 x m x r^2

mass = weight ÷ g = 810 ÷ 9.8 = 82.65 kg

MI = 0.5 x 82.65 x 1.6^{2}

MI = 105.8 kg.m^{2}

angular velocity (ω) = a x t

angular acceleration (a) = torque ÷ MI

where torque = F x r = 55 x 1.6 = 88 N.m

a= 88 ÷ 105.8 = 0.83 rad /s^{2}

therefore

angular velocity (ω) = a x t = 0.83 x 4 = 3.33 rad/s

K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}

K.E = 0.5 x 105.8 x 3.33^{2} = 576 joules

The speed of water at the tap of lower storey is more than that in the upper storey​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Pressure of liquid in container is given by, P= height × density × acceleration of gravity.

At the lower storey, the height of the liquid from the open end is great, since height is directly proportional to pressure, the pressure exerted by liquid is maximum hence increase in velocity of flow.

Unlike the upper storey where the height of water is less hence the pressure exerted by the liquid is minimum which decreases the velocity / speed of liquid flow

A frame hanging on a wall is held by two cables. The tension in each cable is 30 N, and the cables make an angle of 45° with the
Vesna [10]

Answer:

(D) 42.4N

Explanation:

Since the frame is at rest, the net force acting on it must be 0. There are three forces acting on it: the gravity and the opposing forces of the two cables.

Since the gravity is a vertical force, we are only interested in the vertical components of the remaining forces. The net force equation is

F_net = 0 = F_g -2 * F_y

The vertical force of one cable (using the information in the drawing) is:

F_y = 30N * sin 45 deg = 21.21N

Now the weight can be determined:

0 = F_g - 2 * F_y

F_g= 2 * F_y = 2 * 21.21N = 42.4N

The weight of the frame is about 42.4N.

If EMS waves are transverse, what conclusion can you make concerning the distances they can travel?
Svet_ta [14]

Explanation:

The wavelength, λ defined as the total distance traveled by the wave in one full cycle of motion. In other words, wavelength can be given by horizontal distance between repeating units of wave pattern.

Also, the wavelength of a transverse wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent crests or troughs.

λ × f = v

Where,

f = frequency in Hz

v = speed in m/s

A projectile is shot from the edge of a vertical cliff 60.0 m above the ocean. It has a speed of 100 m/s and is fired at an angl
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

79.5 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time taken to hit the surface of water and x be the horizontal distance traveled.

use II equation of motion in Y axis direction

h = uy t + 1/2 g t^2

- 60 = - 100 Sin 35 x t - 1/2 x 9.8 x t^2

-60 = - 57.35 t - 4.9 t^2

4.9 t^2 + 57.35 t - 60 = 0

t = \frac{-57.35\pm \sqrt{57.35^{2} + 4 \times 4.9 \times 60}}{2\times 4.9}

By solving we get

t = 0.97 second

The horizontal distance traveled is

x = ux t

x = 100 Cos 35 x 0.97

x = 79.5 m
