What does it mean tha velocity is vector quantity

Physics
1 answer:
Wewaii [24]3 years ago
7 0
It means that velocity not only has a size, but it also has a direction.

Some other vector quantities are force and acceleration.
They have sizes and directions.
 
Temperature, cost, and weight are quantities with only size and no direction.
Those are called "scalar" quantities.

A hockey stick strikes a hockey puck of mass 0.17 kg. If the force exterted on the hockey puck is 35.0 N and there is a force of
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a=190\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of a hockey puck, m = 0.17 kg

Force exerted by the hockey puck, F' = 35 N

The force of friction, f = 2.7 N

We need to find the acceleration of the hockey puck.

Net force, F=F'-f

F=35-2.7

F=32.3 N

Now, using second law of motion,

F = ma

a is the acceleration of the hockey puck

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{32.3}{0.17}\\\\a=190\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the hockey puck is 190\ m/s^2.

An electron and a proton are fixed at a separation distance of 973 nm. Find the magnitude and the direction of the electric fiel
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The magnitude is: |E|=6084.1\: N/C

The direction of E is in the negative x-direction.

Explanation:

The electric field equation is:

E=k\frac{Q}{r^{2}}

Where:

  • Q is the charge (we can choose the electron or the proton)
  • r is the distance (in our case is at the midpoint 973/2 nm)
  • k is the Coulomb constant (9*10^{9}\: Nm^{2}C^{-2})

Using the electron charge (e = -1.6*10^{-19}\: C)

E=-9*10^{9}\frac{1.6*10^{-19}}{(486.5*10^{-9})^{2}}

The magnitude is:

|E|=6084.1\: N/C

The direction of E is in the negative x-direction.

What line in the sky is created by our revolution around the Sun?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Ecliptic

Explanation:

You asked for the term that is used to describe Earth going around the sun

The ecliptic is the path the sun, moon, and planets take across the sky as seen from Earth. It best defines the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun. The imaginary line can best be visualized in the days just before full moon.

Hope it helped

If element x has 44 protons how many electrons does it have?
Jlenok [28]
The correct answer is '44'.

In fact, the atom of an element has an equal number of protons and electrons: therefore, if element X has 44 protons, it should have 44 electrons as well.

For curiosity: the chemical element with 44 protons and 33 electrons is Ruthenium.

What is the Principle of electric generator?
kozerog [31]

An electric generator works on the principle of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that “whenever a current carrying conductor are placed in the magnetic field, then a flux is induces in the circuit due to which a current start to flow in the rotor also.
