Why is force not on a scalar quantity??

Physics
2 answers:
Step2247 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Scalar quantity is described as such quantities measured which has only magnitude but not direction.

Force when applied on any object is always denoted and comes with direction. It is always necessary to represent force is acting on which direction.

Hence force is not a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity as it has magnitude as well as direction.

Because force always has a direction, it always works towards or against something.


you might know that force,
is rate of change of momentum i.e

force = m (v-u)/t
= (mv - mu )/ t


as we know momentum is a vector quantity so, the rate of change of momentum i.e Force would also be a vector quantity.




momentum = mass × velocity

velocity has a direction so,
momentum has also got a direction.
so, momentum is also a vector quantity.

A steel cable with Cross Sectional Area 3.00cm² has an elastic limit of 2.40 x 10^8pascals. Find the maximum upward acceleration
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Stress = F / A       force per unit area

A = 3.00 cm^2 = 3 E-4  m^2

F = 2.4E8 N/m^2 * 3E-4 m^2 = 7.2E4 N    max force applied

F/3 = 2.4E4 N  if force not to exceed limit   (= f)

f = M a

a = 2.4 E4 N / 1.2 E3 kg = 20 m / s^2      about 2 g

What distance is required for a train to stop if its initial velocity is 23 m/s and its
Varvara68 [4.7K]

-- The train starts at 23 m/s and slows down by 0.25 m/s every second.

So it'll take (23/0.25) = 92 seconds to stop.

-- Its average speed during that time will be (1/2)(23+0) = 11.5 m/s

-- Moving at an average speed of 11.5 m/s for 92 sec, the train will cover

(11.5 m/s) x (92 sec)  =  <em>1,058 meters</em> .

How many watts are used when 6000 joules of energy are consumed in 5 hours?
Ray Of Light [21]
Power = energy / time
Time should be in seconds
5 hours = 5 × 60 minutes = 5 × 60 ×60 seconds = 18000 s
Power = 6000/18000 = 0.333 W

Hope it helped!

If the mass of both weights is 225 gm, the first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The voltage is 2.114 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of both weights = 225 gm

Transducer sensitivity = 0.5 V/N

The first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east,

We need to calculate the net equivalent force

Using formula of force

F_{3}=m_{1}g\cos\theta+m_{2}g\cos\theta

F_{3}=2mg\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

F_{3}=2\times0.225\times10\cos20^{\circ}

F_{3}=4.228\ N

We need to calculate the voltage

Using formula of voltage

Voltage =sensitivity\times F_{3}

Put the value into the formula

Voltage=0.5\times4.228

Voltage =2.114\ V

Hence, The voltage is 2.114 V.
