A measurement that has both magnitude and direction

1 answer:

7 0

<span>A measurement that both magnitude and direction is a vector quantity. An example of this is a moving car. The car exerts force due to its thrust and weight that runs in it. This will give us the magnitude of the car. The resulting motion of the car in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration that determines its direction makes it a vector quantity. On the other hand, a measurement that has only magnitude is a scalar quantity. The energy exerted by the engine of the car is a scalar quantity.</span>

Susan goes out to exercise. She runs for one hour at a constant speed and velocity. What is the overall net force acting on Susa

kiruha [24]

Option (A ) is correct.

Explanation:

susan is moving with constant velocity, so both the direction and magnitude of the velocity remains same. so the acceleration of susan =0. This is because an object gets accelerated when either the magnitude or direction of the speed changes.

now the force is given by

$F= ma$

F= force

m= mass

a= acceleration

Here a =0

so F= 0

so the net force on susan is zero.

tatiyna

If the lightbulb A in the circuit shown in the image burned out, the path for the current to flow is disrupted because one of its terminals is connected direct to the source. So, there will be no current through the lightbulbs B, C, and D, and they will turn off. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb D burned out.

If the lightbulb B burned out the current will continue circulating through the lightbulbs A, C, and D, because lightbulb B is connected in parallel. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb C burned out.

Which describes a force acting on an object?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Describing a Force:

To fully describe the force acting upon an object, you must describe both its magnitude and direction. Thus, 10 Newtons of force is not a complete description of the force acting on an object. 10 Newtons, downwards is a complete description of the force acting upon an object.

Answer: 1.12 m

Explanation:

This situation is related to parabolic motion, hence we can use the following equations:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin \theta t-\frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (1)
