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.

A solenoid used to produce magnetic fields for research purposes is 2.1 m long, with an inner radius of 28 cm and 1000 turns of
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

I = 2172.46 A

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a solenoid, l = 2.1 m

The inner radius of the solenoid, r = 28 cm = 0.28 m

The number of turns in the wire, N = 1000

The magnetic field in the solenoid, B = 1.3 T

We need to find the current carried by it. We know that, the magnetic field in a solenoid is given by :

B=\mu_o nI\\\\or\\\\B=\mu_o \dfrac{N}{L}I\\\\I=\dfrac{BL}{\mu_o N}

Put all the values,

I=\dfrac{1.3\times 2.1}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1000}\\\\I=2172.46\ A

So, it carry current of 2172.46 A.

jenny's model train is set up on a circular track. There are six telephone poles evenly spaced around the track. It takes the en
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

T = 60 s

Explanation:

There are 6 poles on the track which are equally spaced

so the angular separation between the poles is given as

\theta = \frac{2\pi}{6}

\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}

so the angular speed of the train is given as

\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}

\omega = \frac{\pi}{30} rad/s

now we have time period of the train given as

T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}

T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{30}}

T = 60 s

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a mass-less seesaw. If they both move forward so that they are one-half their
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Reason:-

When two kids are balanced, the sum of torques on the seesaw will be zero.

if each kid, reduces their distances by half, then the torque of each kid will be half and the sum of torque of each on the seesaw will be zero.

Therefore the seesaw is balanced
