In describing a vector, what must you describe besides the magnitude?

Physics
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Direction

Explanation:

A vector is a geometrical representation of physical quantity. It has a particular direction with a specific magnitude.

In the geometry of space whether it is two dimensional or three dimensional the vector quantity has a specific direction. Such as a stone is thrown with a velocity in a particular direction.

The path of the stone in three-dimension shows its direction and speed is its magnitude.  

Hence, the velocity of stone has two property magnitude mentioned as speed and particular direction.

On writing the mathematical expressions for vectors, it is denoted by arrow mark on its top as shown below.

                          \vec{A}

The length of a 100 mm bar of metal increases by 0.3 mm when subjected to a temperature rise of 100°C. The coefficient of linear
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

α = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Explanation:

let ΔL be the change in length of the bar of metal, ΔT be the change in temperature, L be the original length of the metal bar and let α be the coefficient of linear expansion.

then, the coefficient of linear expansion is given by:

α = ΔL/(ΔT×L)

   = (0.3×10^-3)/(100)(100×10^-3)

   = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Therefore, the coefficient of linear expansion is 3×10^-5 K^-1

How can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
I am absolutely sure that the way how can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter is of course by connecting a. low resistance across the meter. You should remember that you must connect <span>a shunt resistor straight across the galvanometer. Do hope this answer will help you! Regards.</span>

Wolfgang pauli hypothesized an exclusion principle. This principle says two electrons in an atom cannot have the same what?.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

No two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers .

<h3>What is Wolfgang Pauli hypothesized an exclusion principle?</h3>

Pauli made a significant advance when he proposed the notion of adding a fourth quantum number to the three that were previously used to represent the quantum state of an electron. Physically speaking, the first three quantum numbers made sense since they had to do with how the electron moved about the nucleus.

The following rule was developed by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli. The quantum numbers of any two electrons cannot be identical.

To put it another way, no two electrons can be in the same state. The Pauli exclusion principle is the name given to this proposition since it forbids electrons from being in the same state.

How can inclined planes change the amount of force to move an object? A. Increase height of the inclined plane B. Increase dista
mash [69]

Answer:

Option ( B ) is correct .

Explanation:

To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.

If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted

potential energy acquired by weight = mgh

work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .

mg sinθ x d = mgh  ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )

d = h / sinθ

d will be more than h

Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.

Hence option ( B ) is correct .
