A scalar quantity is a one dimensional measurement of a quantity, like temperature, or mass. A vector has more than one number associated with it. A simple example is velocity. It has a magnitude, called speed, as well as a direction, like North or Southwest or 10 degrees west of North.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Since the apple is 641kg/m3 and water is 1000kg/m3 then the apple will float. Light materials float on top of the water similar to how oil is always on top of the water layer. Since the two are close so the apple will partially float

Lapatulllka [165]
<span>A plane flies along a straight line path after taking off, and it ends up 210 km farther east and 90.0 km farther north, relative to where it started. we should use Pythagoras theorem for this. distance^2= 210^2 + 90^2.=228.47km, when rounding off this would comes around 230 km</span>

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

v = rw

Explanation:

When an object is rolling continuously without slipping, then every angle it rotates through, is equal to a distance the perimeter has rotated.

If the object completes 10 revolutions and takes a particular time, let's say t to complete it. The angular distance would then be 20 π rad, while its angular velocity will be 20 π/t

The circumference will somehow translate to the distance it covers, which is 20πr, this means that the speed is 20πr/t

So, like the question asked, the linear speed compared to angular speed is

v : w

20πr/t : 20πt, which can be simplified to

r : 1

In essence, v = rw

The measurement of how much matter an object contains is its
Ket [755]

Answer:

Mass is how much matter an object contains. Mass and weight are different measurements, although they may seem similar. Mass is measured by comparing one object to another object of known mass. Grams and kilograms are units we use to measure mass.

Where are truss bridges located?
guapka [62]

Basic truss bridge types found in North Carolina (source: HAER) A truss bridge can be characterized by the location of its traffic deck. At a pony truss, the travel surface passes along the bottom chords of trusses standing to either side that are not connected to each other at the top.
