Define scalar and vector

1 answer:

Andreas93 [3]2 years ago

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.

What does a wave do that is so important?

Waves transmit energy without transmitting matter, This means that we can move energy or information from one place to another without moving any substance from one place to another.

A child is riding in a child-restraint chair, securely fastened to the seat of a car. Assume the car has speed 47 km/h when it h

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: F = 1235 N

Explanation: Newton's Second Law of Motion describes the effect of mass and net force upon acceleration: $F_{net}=m.a$

Acceleration is the change of velocity in a period of time: $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

Velocity of the car is in km/h. Transforming it in m/s:

$v=\frac{47.10^{3}}{36.10^{2}}$

v = 13 m/s

At the moment the car decelerates, acceleration is

$a=\frac{13}{0.2}$

a = 65 m/s²

Then, force will be

$F_{net}=19(65)$

$F_{net}$ = 1235 N

The horizontal net force the straps of the restraint chair exerted on the child to hold her is 1235 newtons.

A 4350 kg truck, driving 7.39 m/s, runs into the back of a stationary car. After the collision, the truck moves 4.55 m/s and the

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Mass of car = 1098 kg

Explanation:

Here law of conservation of momentum is applied.

Let mass of car be m.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Initial momentum = 4350 x 7.39 + m x 0 = 32416.5 kgm/s

Final momentum = 4350 x 4.55 + m x 11.5 = 19792.5+11.5m

We have

19792.5+11.5m = 32416.5

m = 1097.97 kg

Mass of car = 1098 kg
