Scalar quantities:
Time - Scalar quantities often refer to time; the measurement of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and even milliseconds.
Volume - Scalar quantity can refer to the volume of the medium, as in how much of the medium is present. Everything from tons to ounces to grams, milliliters and micrograms are all scalar quantities, as long as they are applied to the medium being measured and not the movement of the medium.
Speed and temperature - Two more commonly used scalar quantities in physical calculations are speed and temperature. As long as they are not associated with a directional movement, they remain scalar quantities. For instance, the measurement of speed in miles or kilometers-per-hour or the measurement of the temperature of the medium both remain scalar quantities as long as they aren't associated with the direction of the medium's travel.

water flows horizontally from a hose that is 3m above the ground. the water lands 7.2m to the right of the hose . how long does
Sidana [21]

Answer:

0.782 s

Explanation:

The water flows horizontally from the hose, so its initial vertical velocity is 0.

Given:

y₀ = 3 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 m = 3 m + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.782 s

Round as needed.

A place kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. half the crowd hopes the ball will clear
trapecia [35]
<span>The ball clears by 11.79 meters Let's first determine the horizontal and vertical velocities of the ball. h = cos(50.0)*23.4 m/s = 0.642788 * 23.4 m/s = 15.04 m/s v = sin(50.0)*23.4 m/s = 0.766044 * 23.4 m/s = 17.93 m/s Now determine how many seconds it will take for the ball to get to the goal. t = 36.0 m / 15.04 m/s = 2.394 s The height the ball will be at time T is h = vT - 1/2 A T^2 where h = height of ball v = initial vertical velocity T = time A = acceleration due to gravity So plugging into the formula the known values h = vT - 1/2 A T^2 h = 17.93 m/s * 2.394 s - 1/2 9.8 m/s^2 (2.394 s)^2 h = 42.92 m - 4.9 m/s^2 * 5.731 s^2 h = 42.92 m - 28.0819 m h = 14.84 m Since 14.84 m is well above the crossbar's height of 3.05 m, the ball clears. It clears by 14.84 - 3.05 = 11.79 m</span>

James accelerates his skate board uniformly along a straight road from rest to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is James Acceleration?
lawyer [7]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

v(final velocity)= 10 m/s

t= 4 sec

Now we know that

v= u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

t is the time measured in sec

10=0+ax4

a=10/4

a=2.5 m/s^2

A railroad train is traveling at a speed of 26.0 m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the locomotive whistle i
olga55 [171]

Answer: 0.757m; 0.881m; 432.70Hz; 371.89Hz

Explanation:

Give the following :

Velocity of train (Vt) = 26m/s

Frequency of sound (Fs) = 420Hz

Speed of sound (Vs) = 344m/s

1) wavelength = (Vs - Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 - 26) / 420 = 318/420 = 0.757m

11) Wavelength = (Vs + Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 + 26) / 420 = 370/420 = 0.881m

111) According to the doppler effect :

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = frequency of listener ; fs = frequency of sound source ; V = speed of sound ; Vl = Velocity of listener ; Vs = speed of sound source

Vs = - ve (train moving towards listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 - 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 318) * 400 = 432.70Hz

1V) Vs = + ve (train moving away listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 + 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 370) * 400 = 371.89Hz
