I'm guessing you have seen the vsause video about this since you are mentioning it but if not you should check it out. The video is a little unclear about this beause scientists are still debating it but I guess yes.

A measurement that has both magnitude and direction
Korvikt [17]
<span>A measurement that both magnitude and direction is a vector quantity. An example of this is a moving car. The car exerts force due to its thrust and weight that runs in it. This will give us the magnitude of the car. The resulting motion of the car in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration that determines its direction makes it a vector quantity. On the other hand, a measurement that has only magnitude is a scalar quantity. The energy exerted by the engine of the car is a scalar quantity.</span>

A man pushes a heavy cart with a force exerted of 250 Newtons to keep it moving at a constant velocity. What is the kinetic fric
miv72 [106K]

It can't be less than 250 N or the cart wouldn't move at all. That means there is only 1 answer. It's between not enough info or 250 N. The answer is 250 N. If it was any more, there would be acceleration.

What happens to the pressure in all parts of a confined fluid if the pressure in one part is increased?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The pressure will be transmitted equally to all other parts of the confined fluid causing a general increase in pressure throughout the container.

Explanation:

This is in line with pascal's law of pressure which states that the pressure exerted on a given mass of fluid is transmitted undiminished to other parts of the fluid.

We have seen that starlight passing through the interstellar medium is dimmed and reddened. Look at the photo of a sunset on Ear
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reddening of sun's rays at sunset and sunrise is due to scattering of light . The white light consisting of seven colours coming from the sun are scattered in different directions when they fall on the air particles present in atmosphere . Red coloured light scatters least and it travels straight forward to the viewer on the earth . On the other hand other colours scatter most and therefore they go out of area of vision for the viewer on the earth . Since only red colour reaches the eye of the viewer , sun's ray appear red . This happens during sunrise and sunset . It is so because during this period , sun rays travel far greater distance through  atmosphere , so scattering is most pronounced .

A man-made satellite orbits the earth in a circular orbit that has a radius of 32000 km. The mass of the Earth is 5.97e 24 kg. W
Gwar [14]

Answer:

= 3521m/s

The tangential speed is approximately 3500 m/s.

Explanation:

F = m * v² ÷ r

Fg = (G * M * m) ÷ r²

(m v²) / r = (G * M * m) / r²

v² = (G * M) / r

v = √( G * M ÷ r)

G * M = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 5.97 * 10²⁴ = 3.98199 * 10¹⁴

r = 32000km = 32 * 10⁶ meters  

G * M / r = 3.98199 * 10¹⁴ ÷ 32 * 10⁶

v = √1.24 * 10⁷  

v = 3521.36m/s

The tangential speed is approximately 3500 m/s.
