Why is force not on a scalar quantity??

Physics

Step2247 [10]3 years ago

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.

What factors affect the gravitational pull of two massive objects?​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:Mass and distance

Explanation:The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Hope this helps!!

The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.708 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light inci
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Angle θ = 30.82°

Explanation:

From Malus’s law, since the intensity of a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared, the intensity I of the transmitted wave is related to the incident wave by; I = I_o cos²θ

where;

I_o is the intensity of the polarized wave before passing through the filter.

In this question,

I is 0.708 W/m²

While I_o is 0.960 W/m²

Thus, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

0.708 W/m² = 0.960 W/m² •cos²θ

Thus, cos²θ = 0.708 W/m²/0.960 W/m²

cos²θ = 0.7375

Cos θ = √0.7375

Cos θ = 0.8588

θ = Cos^(-1)0.8588

θ = 30.82°
