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.

What is the charge on 1.0 kg of protons? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 c, mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg)?
Andru [333]
First, we need to find the number of protons, which is the total mass divided by the mass of one proton:
N= \frac{m}{m_p}= \frac{1.0 kg}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}=6.0 \cdot 10^{26} protons

Then, the total charge is the number of protons times the charge of a  single proton:
Q=Ne = 6.0 \cdot 10^{26}\cdot 1.60 \cdot 10^{-19} C=9.6 \cdot 10^7 C

If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20 m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder
kakasveta [241]

Question:

A 63.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 4.20m/s square. What is the net external force on him? If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder for the 100-m dash, what will be his time for the race?

Answer:

Time for the race will be t = 9.26 s

Explanation:

Given data:

As the sprinter starts the race so initial velocity = v₁ = 0

Distance = s₁ = 20 m

Acceleration = a = 4.20 ms⁻²

Distance = s₂ = 100 m

We first need to find the final velocity (v₂) of sprinter at the end of the first 20 meters.

Using 3rd equation of motion

(v₂)² - (v₁)² = 2as₁ = 2(4.2)(20)

v₂ = 12.96 ms⁻¹

Time for 20 m distance = t₁ = (v₂ - v ₁)/a

t₁ = 12.96/4.2 = 3.09 s

He ran the rest of the race at this velocity (12.96 m/s). Since has had already covered 20 meters, he has to cover 80 meters more to complete the 100 meter dash. So the time required to cover the 80 meters will be

Time for 100 m distance = t₂ = s₂/v₂

t₂ = 80/12.96 = 6.17 s

Total time = T = t₁ + t₂ = 3.09 + 6.17 = 9.26 s

T = 9.26 s
