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.

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron (massm=9.1×10−31kg) orbits a proton at a distance of 5.3×10−11m. The proton

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

$\omega = 6.557 \times 10^{16}\ rev/s$

Explanation:

GIVEN,

mass of electron = 9.1 x 10 kg

Radius = 5.3 x 10 m

pulling force = 8.2 x 10 N

Required centripetal for (Fe) for circular motion will be provided with electrical force (F)

$F = m_e\omega^2 r$

$\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{F}{m_e\ r}}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{8.2 \times 10^{-8}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}\times 5.3 \times 10^{-11}}}$

$\omega = \sqrt{0.17 \times 10^{34}}$

ω = 4.12 x 10¹⁶ rad/s

$\omega = \dfrac{4.12 \times 10^{16}}{2\pi}$

$\omega = 6.557 \times 10^{16}\ rev/s$

Which is more likely to be dangerous-a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for a hundred years? W

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

A volcano that erupts frequently.

Explanation:

Both.

But the volcano that hasn't erupted in 100 years would probably be more dangerous because you wouldn't be prepared for its explosion as you would be for the one that erupts frequently.

Glad I could help!!

What is true about semiconductors?

Iteru [2.4K]

In semiconductors, you can change how easily electrons move through them. That is option 2.

<h3>What are semiconductors?</h3><h3 />

Semiconductors is defined as those substances that possess the characteristics of both metal and non metal.

Examples of semiconductors include the silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide elements.

The semiconductors are able to conduct electricity through the presence of electrons and holes in them.

The movement of these electrons can be controlled through the addition of impurities to the semiconductor material.

Therefore, in semiconductors, you can change how easily electrons move through them.
