Which is a scalar quantity displacement distance force acceleration​

Physics

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.

I hope this helps you.

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If
Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

v_y = u_y +gt

where:

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s

b)

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

v_x =  5 m/s

Compare two processes we use to measure the age of Earth and its parts.
yan [13]

Answer:

Generally speaking, scientists have developed four different methods of determining the age of the earth. By using these methods, or a combination of them, the age of geological formations created by past events and even the fossilized bones of prehistoric animals can be determined.

Based on the research done by scientists, the Geologic Column, a graph that illustrates earth age, was developed. The Column, with its names for the epochs and eras of time, illustrates what scientists think was taking place in earth history. A small version of the Geologic Column is pictured at the right.

if a ball with an original velocity of 0 is dropped from a tall structure and takes 7 Seconds to hit the ground what velocity do
krok68 [10]

a_y=\dfrac{v_y-v_{0y}}t\implies-9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{v_y-0}{7\,\mathrm s}\implies v_y=-68.7\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

The Earth's gravity keeps us from flying out to space. How can you explain that we have a stronger gravitational attraction to t
julia-pushkina [17]
It's the fourth choice.

This is because, since we are closer to the Earth, the Earth will have a stronger gravitational pull on us since again, we are closer.
That also explains tides, but that's just getting off topic. Hope I helped.
