Answer:

B. 30 m down

Explanation:

In physics we have two types of quantities:

- Scalar quantity: it is a quantity which only has a magnitude (e.g: mass and time are scalar quantities, since they only have a magnitude)

- Vector quantity: it is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction (e.g: velocity is a vector quantity, since it has a magnitude (the speed) and a direction)

In this problem, we have:

A. 100 ounces of water --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)

B. 30 m down --> vector (this is a displacement, which has both a magnitude (30 m) and a direction (down)

C. 88 mi/s --> scalar (this is a speed, which has only a magnitude)

D. 45 gallons in a bucket --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)

So, the correct option is B.

A car is travelling to the right with a speed of 40 m/s when the driver slams on the brakes. The car skids for 4 s with constant

vazorg [7]

Answer:

10m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

velocity= 40m/s

time= 4 seconds

Acceleration a =????

We know that

a= velocity/time

substitute

a=40/4

a= 10m/s^2

Hence the acceleration will be 10m/s^2

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

"Offgassing"

Explanation:

According to my research on Kinesiology, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the process being described is known as "Offgassing". In other words this process is defined as when something gives off or releases a chemical, especially a harmful one, in the form of a gas into the air..

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

$\epsilon = BvL sin \theta$

where

$B=5\cdot 10^{-5} T$ is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 13 m/s is the speed of the bird

L = 1.2 m is the wingspan of the bird

$\theta=40^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

$\epsilon = (5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(13 m/s)(1.2 m) sin 40^{\circ}=0.00050 V = 0.50 mV$

Thalia is drafting a plan to move a large, perfect sphere concrete sculpture that is in front of her office building. Describe t

Marina86 [1]

For the answer to this question,
Thalia must consider the weight of the object and the mass of the sculpture. Weight and mass are different things. She should also consider the time on how long it will take to move it and where she'll move it.
