Define scalar and vector

Physics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 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.

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exer
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \  by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \  by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a)      K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂ ,  b) U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

     F = G m M / r²

Part A

Let's use Newton's second law

     F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

     a = v² / R₂

     

      G m M / R₂² = m v² / R₂

      v² = G M / R₂

They give us the density of the planet

    ρ = M / V

    V = 4/3 π R₁³

    M =   ρ V

    M =   ρ 4/3 π R₁³

    v² = 4/3 π G  ρ R₁³ / R₂

    K = ½ m v²

    K = ½ m (4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂)

    K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂

Part B

Potential energy and strength are related

     F = - dU / dr

     ∫ dU = - ∫ F. dr

The force was directed towards the center and the vector r outwards therefore there is an angle of 180º between the two cos 180 = -1

    U- U₀ = G m M ∫ dr / r²

    U - U₀ = G m M (- r⁻¹)

We evaluate for

    U - U₀ = -G m M (1 / r_{f} -  1 /r_{i})

They indicate that for ri = ∞     U₀ = 0

    U = - G m M / r

When a 0.350-kg package is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The package is now di
AleksandrR [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the calculation of periods by means of a spring constant.

We know that by Hooke's law

F=kx

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Re-arrange to find k,

k= \frac{F}{x}

k= \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{(0.35)(9.8)}{12*10^{-2}}

k = 28.58N/m

Perioricity in an elastic body is defined by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Where,

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58}}

T = 0.685s

Therefore the period of the oscillations is 0.685s
