Answer:

B)The motion of water in an ocean current

Explanation:

With respect to measurements, a vector has both a magnitude and a direction. The first three examples (maximum height of a hill, air temperature, and rain accumulation) are magnitudes only. The fourth example (motion of water in an ocean current) is a vector, because it has a magnitude (speed) and a direction (with the current).

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1000Kg car at a rate of 3m/s2?
ikadub [295]

According to Newton (2nd law),   Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Substitute what we know :           Force = (1,000 kg) x (3 m/s²)

Do the arithmetic:                        Force = 3,000 kg-m/s²  =  3,000 newtons

3. a) If the distance between two objects increases by a factor of 5 (5),
irina [24]

Answer:

Answer for A

Explanation:

F1=GmM/r1^2

If r2 becomes r2=5r

F2=GmM/(25r^2)

Multiply with 25 gives to maintain the same force

I.e.,25F2=F1

F2=G(25m)M/25r^2=F1

By the factor 25 would change to increase to same.

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90 cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at it
kupik [55]

Answer: The mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

Explanation:

Using the equation of fundamental frequency of a taut string.

f = (1/2L)*√(T/μ) .... (Eqn1)

Where

f= frequency in Hertz =80Hz

T = Tension in the string = Mg

M represent the mass of the substance (sculpture) =?

g= 9.8m/s^2

L= Length of the string=90cm=0.9m

μ= mass density = mass of string /Length of string

mass of string =5g=0.005kg

L=0.9m

μ=0.005/0.9 = 0.0056kg/m

Using (Eqn1)

80= 1/(2*0.9) √(T/0.0056)

144= √(T/0.0056)

Square both sides

20736= T/0.0056

T= 116.12N

Recall that T =Mg

116.12= M * 9.8

M=116.12/9.8

M= 11.8kg

Therefore the mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg
