Define scalar and vector

Physics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]2 years ago
7 0

The quantity is either a vector or a scalar. These two categories can be distinguished from one another by their distinct definitions: Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone. Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 mm above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: 4.65\ m/s

Explanation:

Given

Distance putty has to travel is 3.5 m

The initial speed of putty is 9.50 m/s

Using equation of motion to determine the velocity of putty just before it hits ceiling

v^2-u^2=2as

\Rightarrow v^2-(9.5)^2=2(-9.8)(3.5)\\\\\Rightarrow v^2=9.5^2-68.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{90.25-68.6}\\\Rightarrow v=4.65\ m/s

So, the velocity of putty just before hitting is 4.65\ m/s

Find the magnitude of the impulse delivered to a soccer ball when a player kicks it with a force of 1360 N. Assume that the play
Alona [7]

Answer:

7.59Ns

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 1360N

Time of contact  = 5.85 x 10⁻³s

Unknown:

Impulse  = ?

Solution:

The impulse of the ball is given as:

        Impulse  = Force x time

       Impulse  = 1360 x 5.85 x 10⁻³ = 7.59Ns

A certain carbon monoxide molecule consists of a carbon atom mc = 12 u and an oxygen atom mo = 17 u that are separated by a dist
kvasek [131]

Answer:

a)  x_{cm} = m₂/ (m₁ + m₂)   d , b)   x_{cm} = 52.97 pm

Explanation:

The expression for the center of mass is

                x_{cm} = 1 / M  ∑ x_{i} m_{i}

Where M is the total masses, mI and xi are the mass and position of each element of the system.

Let's fix our reference system on the oxygen atom and the molecule aligned on the x-axis, let's use index 1 for oxygen and index 2 for carbon

              x_{cm} = 1 / (m₁ + m₂)   (0+ m₂ x₂)

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

             m₁ = 17 u = 17 1,661 10⁻²⁷ kg = 28,237 10⁻²⁷ kg

             m₂ = 12 u = 12 1,661 10⁻²⁷ kg = 19,932 10⁻²⁷ kg

             d = 128 pm = 128 10⁻¹² m

The equation for the center of mass is

               x_{cm} = m₂/ (m₁ + m₂)   d

b) let's calculate the value

            x_{cm} = 19.932 10⁻²⁷ /(19.932+ 28.237) 10⁻²⁷    128 10-12

            x_{cm} = 52.97 10⁻¹² m

            x_{cm} = 52.97 pm

How do charges act on insulators and conductors?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

An insulator holds charge within its atomic structure. Objects with like charges repel each other, while those with unlike charges attract each other. A conducting object is said to be grounded if it is connected to the Earth through a conductor.
