A vector quantity must include both magnitude and direction. Which measurement is a vector quantity? A) the rain accumulation at

a weather station B) the motion of water in an ocean current C) the air temperature in a room D) the highest elevation of a hill

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).

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get  transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.

An object moving in circular motion has a mass of 15 kg and a centripetal acceleration of 10 m/s2. What is the centripetal force
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

1) A

2) C

3) B

4) A

5) Incomplete information(picture missing)

6) Incomplete information(picture missing)

7) Incomplete information(picture missing)

8) A

9) C

10) C

Explanation:

1) m = 15kg, a = 10ms^{-2}, F = ma = 15*10 = 150N

2) m = 3kg, v = 4ms^{-1}, r = 4m, F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

\frac{3*4^{2} }{4} = 12N

3) a = 10ms^{-2}, r = 10m, v=?

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} and F = ma

equating the two equations and cancelling a, we have:

\frac{v^{2} }{r} = a

making v the subject of formula, we have:

v = \sqrt{ar}

= \sqrt{100}

= 10ms^{-1}

4) r = 10m, v = 5ms^{-1}, a = ?

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

F = ma

equating the above equations and making a subject of formula, we get:

a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

a = 25/10 = 2.5ms^{-2}

5) I can't find the picture associated with this question

6) I can't find the picture associated with this question

7) I can't find the picture associated with this question

8) F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = v^{2}

Now, if v is tripled

F = (3v)^{2}

F = 9v^{2}

We can see that the force will be 9X greater than it was.

9) F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = v^{2}

Now, if v is doubled

F = (2v)^{2}

F = 4v^{2}

We can see that the force will be 4X greater than it was.

10) F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

assuming m and v is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively

F = 1/r

if r is doubled,

F = 1/2 * 1/r

We can see that the force is 1/2 as big as it was

Explain why average velocity in one dimension can be positive or negative.
Softa [21]
Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since velocity =  \frac{change in position}{time}, and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.

5.0 kg, with a bullet of mass 0.1 kg. The target was mounted on
kari74 [83]

Answer:

306 m/s

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2)vf

m1 is the bullet's mass so it is 0.1 kg

v1 is what we're trying to solve

m2 is the target's mass so it is 5.0 kg

v2 is the targets velocity, and since it was stationary, its velocity is zero

vf is the velocity after the target is struck by the bullet, so it is 6.0 m/s

plugging in, we get

(0.1 kg)(v1) + (5.0 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.1 kg + 5.0 kg)(6.0 m/s)

(0.1)(v1) + 0 = 30.6

(0.1)(v1) = 30.6

v1 = 306 m/s
