- - A medium is the substance in which a wave moves through. This is because the medium in a wave makes it possible to generate and transfer energy from one location to another, which is why the waves are able to go out, than in.

Why is temperature scalar?

shepuryov [24]

Temperature is just a measure of how HOT or COLD a substance is, which can be easily defined by a magnitude using a numerical value say “300 K” or “27°C”. Hence we can say it is a scalar quantity.

But the energy which transfer by virtue of a temperature difference is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction of motion (from High temperature to low temperature region).

Two buses are driving along parallel freeways that are 5mi apart, one heading east and the other heading west. Assuming that eac

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

101.54m/h

Explanation:

Given that the buses are 5mi apart, and that they are both driving at the same speed of 55m/h, rate of change of distance can be determined using differentiation as;

Let l be the be the distance further away at which they will meet from the current points;

$l=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=12m\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=-(55m/h+55m/h})\\\\=-110m/h$ #The speed toward each other.

$\frac{dh}{dt}=0, \ \ \ \ h=constant\\\\h^2+l^2=b^2\\\\2h\frac{dh}{dt}+2l\frac{dl}{dt}=2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\2\times5\times0+2\times12\times(-110)=2\times13\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=-101.54m/h$
