Why is force not on a scalar quantity??

Physics

Step2247 [10]4 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 metal block has a density of 5000 kg per cubic meter and a mass of 15,000 kg. What is its volume?
Naily [24]

Taking into account the definition of density, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

From this expression it can be deduced that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

<h3>Volume of the metal block</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }
  • Mass= 15000 kg
  • Volume= ?

Replacing in the definition of density:

5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} } =\frac{15000 kg}{volume}

Solving:

volume×5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }= 15000 kg

volume= \frac{15000 kg}{5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }}

<u><em>volume= 3 m³</em></u>

In summary, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

My Notes A container is divided into two equal compartments by a partition. One compartment is initially filled with helium at a
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

final-temperature = T_{f} = 252.51K

Explanation:

we can solve this problem by using the first law of thermodynamics.

    \Delta U= Q-W

Q= heat added

U= internal energy

W= work done by system

                        E_{final}= E_{initial}

<u> C_{v} (N_{2}) C_{v}(He) T_{f} =C_{v}( N_{2}) T_{N_{2} } C_{v} (He) T_{He}    (1)</u>

C_{v}(N_{2})=1.04\frac{KJ}{Kg K}

C_{v}(He)=5.193\frac{KJ}{Kg K}

now

From equation 1

T_{f}=\frac{C_{v}( N_{2}) T_{N_{2} } C_{v} (He) T_{He}}{C_{v} (N_{2}) C_{v}(He)}

T_{f} = \frac{315\times1.04+5.193\times240}{1.04+5.193}

T_{f} = 252.51K
