Answer:

Cause its scalar quantity

Explanation:

since speed does not take directions into consideration, it is considered to be a scalar quantity. On the other hand, the velocity of an object does not take into account direction, thus making it a vector quantity.

The power output of a laser is measured by its wattage, the number of joules of energy it radiates per second (1 W = 1 J s-1). A

viva [34]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red light, $\lambda=676.4\ nm=676.4\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Power of the laser, $P=300\ mW=0.3\ W$

(a) The energy carried by each photon is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{676.4\times 10^{-9}}$

$E=2.94\times 10^{-19}\ J$

(b) Let n is the number of photons emitted by the laser per second. It can be calculated as :

$n=\dfrac{Power}{Energy\ of\ one\ photon}$

$n=\dfrac{0.3}{2.94\times 10^{-19}}$

$n=1.02\times 10^{18}\ photon/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

How long will it take a car to go from a complete stop to 44 km/hr if they are accelerating at 5 km/hr?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Solution :-

Given that ,

Initial Velocity of car = 44km / hr.
Final Velocity of car = 0km / hr.
Acceleration = -5km/hr².

To Find :

Time taken to stop the car .

So , here use first equⁿ of motion which is ,

$\boxed{\red{\bf\dag v = u + at }}$

where ,

v is final Velocity.
u is Initial velocity.
a is acceleration.
t is time taken.

Now , substituting the respective values ,

$\tt:\implies v=u+at$

$\tt:\implies 0 = 44 + (-5)t$

$\tt:\implies -44 = -5t$

$\tt:\implies t=\dfrac{44}{5}$

$\underline{\boxed{\red{\tt \longmapsto Time\:\:=\:\:8.8hrs.}}}$

$\boxed{\green{\bf\pink{\dag} Hence\:time\:taken\:to\:stop\:the\:car\:is\:8.8hrs.}}$
