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.

A rock is thrown horizontally from a high building at 33.8 m/s. What is the magnitude of its velocity 4.25 s later?
Alex17521 [72]
<h2>Answer:53.63ms^{-2}</h2>

Explanation:

The equations of motion used in this question is v=u+at

When a object is projected horizontally from a sufficiently height,the x-component of acceleration remains zero because there is no force that drags the object in x direction.

But,due to gravity,the object accelerates downward at a rate of 9.8ms^{-2}.

In X-Direction,

Given that initial velocity=u_{x}=33.8ms^{-1}

Using v=u+at,

v_{x}=33.8+(0)4.25=33.8ms^{-1}

In Y-Direction,

Given that initial velocity=u_{x}=0ms^{-1}

Using v=u+at,

v_{y}=0+(9.8)4.25=41.65ms^{-1}

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

v=\sqrt{1142.44+1734.72}=\sqrt{2877.163}=53.63ms^{-1}

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
oee [108]
The best transition between the four options presented to represent a time when water molecules are moving closer together would be A. Frost forms on a window pane.

The closest distance that the water molecules can do is when the water is in the state of being solid. It is known that the solid state of matter has the closest distance from molecule to molecule that when a molecule tries to move, the others move as well creating a vibration and thus producing heat in the process. When they are in a liquid state, they are quite far from each other. In a gas state, they really are far from each. This explains the difference in their characteristics.
