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}

1. What is the claim made by the Big Bang theory regarding the creation of the universe?
Lena [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The big bang theory explained that the universe started as a single entity which was created by massive explosion and it create most of the matter i.e galaxies were moving away from the universe in all directions with great speed which then cause massive explosion and bring about cosmos creation.

Problem 6.056 Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 15 lbf/in.2, 80°F and exits at 275°F. Stray heat transfer and
vova2212 [387]

To solve this process it is necessary to consider the concepts related to the relations between pressure and temperature in an adiabatic process.

By definition the relationship between pressure and temperature is given by

(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{(\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1})}

Here

P = Pressure

T = Temperature

\gamma =The ratio of specific heats. For air normally is 1.4.

Our values are given as,

P_1 = 15lb/in^2\\T_1= 80\°F = 299.817K\\T_2 =400\°F = 408.15K

Therefore replacing we have,

(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{(\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1})}

(\frac{P_2}{15})=(\frac{408.15}{299.817})^{(\frac{1.4}{1.4-1})}

Solving for P_2,

P_2 = 15*(\frac{408.15}{299.817})^{(\frac{1.4}{1.4-1})}

P_2 = 44.15Lbf/in^2

Therefore the maximum theoretical pressure at the exit is 44.15Lbf/in^2

The heating element of a coffeemaker operates at 120 V and carries a current of 4.50 A. Assuming the water absorbs all of the en
Bond [772]

Answer:

It will take 313.376 sec to raise temperature to boiling point

Explanation:

We have given that potential difference V = 120 Volt

Current i = 4.50 A

So resistance R=\frac{V}{i}=\frac{120}{4.50}=26.666ohm

Heat flow in resistor will be equal to Q=i^2Rt

It is given that this heat is used for boiling the water

Mass of the water = 0.525 kg = 525 gram

Specific heat of water 4.186 J/gram/°C

Initial temperature is given as 23°C

Boiling temperature of water = 100°C

So change in temperature = 100-23 = 77°C

Heat required to raise the temperature of water Q=mc\Lambda T

So 4.50^2\times 26.666\times t=525\times 4.186\times 77

t = 313.376 sec

So it will take 313.376 sec to raise temperature to boiling point

1. Faça as transformações:
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

seconds (s) = hours (h) *3,600 ; h = \frac{s}{3,600} \\g = kg * 1,000; kg = \frac{g}{1,000} \\cm = \frac{m}{100};m = cm * 100

1. a) 0.5 h = 1,800 s

  h) 20 cm = 0.2 m

  b) 2.0 h = 7,200 s

   i) 5.0 kg = 5,000 g

  c) 3.5 h = 12,600 s

  j) 1.5 kg = 1,500 g

  d) 1/4 h = 900 s

  k) 450.0 g = 0.45 kg

  e) 3.0 m = 300 cm

   l) 20.0 g = 0.02 kg

  f) 2.5 m = 250 cm

  m) 500.0 g = 0.5 kg

   g) 0.5 m = 500 mm

   n) 1000.0 g = 1 kg
