Why should mass not be represented by an arrow?

Physics

Arrows represent vector quantities, which have both a magnitude (size) and a direction. For example on Earth, weight acts towards the planet's centre due to the effect of the gravitational field, and has a magnitude in Newtons (e.g. 10N). However, mass is a scalar quantity, meaning that it only has a magnitude - it's just the amount of stuff you have. It would be like an arrow without a direction, which of course is not possible (at least not in this universe...)

I believe that an arrow in physics represents a change from one form to another or or an absorbance of another form of matter or mass. I learned this concept in Middle School on my Phy. Science class. and since mass can change in number it shouldn't be represented as an arrow for that reason, because it can't always have a definite number representation. I believe that's the answer I'm not 100% positive, I hope this helps

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The reaction only takes place if the reactants are in contact, then the surface exposed is very important because as the exposed surface of the reactants increases, the reaction velocity also increases. If the lumps are not broken up, a big amount of baking soda would be only available to react after the surrounding soda has already reacted.

What current flows when a 35 v potential difference is imposed across a 1.4 kω resistor?
svetlana [45]

Current  =  (voltage) / (resistance)

              =    (35 volts) / (1,400 ohms)

              =         25 milliamperes

Stars produce their own light but planets do not. Even then we can see them. explain
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Planets are not hot enough, and that's because they lack the internal energy sources that stars have: thermonuclear fusion (They do emit a little light, mainly infrared light, but nothing compared to the sun)

Planets don't have their own light, so simply they do not emit light, this phenomena goes back to their information. When they are formed, they are much, much less hotter than the stars. In stars, fusion reaction always goes on, in which energy, as well as light is formed, so, there is light for stars to emit for a long time.

I need help with this​
insens350 [35]

Answer:

distance = 32 kilometers

displacement = 0 kilometers

Explanation:

they traveled 15 km to and back which would mean the distance they traveled is 32 km. but the displacement would still be 0 because their starting and ending points are the same.

Es lo mismo una energía renovable que una energía limpia?
Westkost [7]
La energía limpia es energía libre de carbono que genera poca o ninguna emisión de gases de efecto invernadero. ... La energía renovable es la energía que proviene de recursos que se reponen naturalmente, como la luz solar, el viento, el agua y el calor geotérmico.
