Answer:

Displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the vector quantity that defines distance and direction between two positions.

Displacement talks about distance covered in a specified direction. Displacement is example of vector quantity because "it specifies direction" compare to distance that doesn't. Vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Therefore anytime displacement is being calculated, the direction of movement of the body has to be specified e.g A body moves 8m in the direction is N45°E. That N45°E serves as the direction.

A 2-kW electric heater takes 15 min to boil a quantity of water. If this is done once a day and power costs 10 cents per kWh, wh

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data

power P= 2 kW

time t= 15 min to hours = 15/60= 1/4 h

cost of power consumption per kWh= 10 cent = $0.1

We are expected to compute the cost of operating the heater for 30 days

but let us computer the energy consumption for one day

Energy of heater for one day= 2* 1/4 = 0.5 kWh

the cost of operating the heater for 30 days= 0.5*0.1*30= $1.50

<u><em>Hence it will cost $1.50 for 30 days operation</em></u>

You pull a solid nickel ball with a density of 8.91 g/cm3 and a radius of 1.40 cm upward through a fluid at a constant speed of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$P = 1.090\,N$

Explanation:

The constant speed means that ball is not experimenting acceleration. This elements is modelled by using the following equation of equilibrium:

$\Sigma F = P - W + F_{D}$

$\Sigma F = P - \rho \cdot V \cdot g + c\cdot v = 0$

Now, the exerted force is:

$P = \rho \cdot V \cdot g - c\cdot v$

The volume of a sphere is:

$V = \frac{4\cdot \pi}{3}\cdot R^{3}$

$V = \frac{4\cdot \pi}{3}\cdot (0.014\,m)^{3}$

$V = 1.149\times 10^{-5}\,m^{3}$

Lastly, the force is calculated:

$P = (8910\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (1.149\cdot 10^{-5}\,m^{3})\cdot (9.81\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )+(0.950\,\frac{kg}{s})\cdot (0.09\,\frac{m}{s} )$

$P = 1.090\,N$

liraira [26]

Answer:

Velocity (v) is a vector quantity that measures displacement (or change in position, Δs) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation v = Δs/Δt. Speed (or rate, r) is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled (d) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation r = d/Δt.
