1. Answer: Option C
Displacement is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude as well as direction. Hence, it can be positive, zero or negative. In the given question, downward direction is taken as negative. This we have come to know from the downward acceleration
. The negative sign indicates that downward direction is considered negative.
Now, since the object is dropped from the top. The displacement should be negative, because the negative represent a downward direction.
2. Answer: velocity
The truck is travelling at 30 mph to the west. From the unit mph (miles per hour), we know its a magnitude of velocity. West indicates the direction. Hence, the given quantity is a vector -velocity.
It is not speed because speed only indicates the magnitude and not the direction. speed is a scalar quantity.
When angle between them is zero
Answer:
A type of telescope that does not require darkness in order to be able to use it is the refracting telescope
Explanation:
A refracting telescope consists of a lens and an eyepiece collects light which is then focused to present a magnified, bright and clear image.
The incident light on a refracting telescope is bent by refraction such that the light is focused to the focal point.
In refracting telescopes, the image is formed by bending light, that is by refraction.
The refracting telescope technology has been applied to binoculars and camera zoom lenses.
Velocity of an object is its rate of change of the object's position per interval of time. Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it consists of a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is represented by the speed and the direction is represented by the angle. To determine the velocity components, we use trigonometric functions to determine the angle of the components. For the north component we, use the sine function while, for the west component, we use the cosine function. We calculate as follows:
north velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (sin 54°) = 16.4 m/s
<span>west velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (cos 54°) = 3.49 m/s</span>
