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>

How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?

matrenka [14]

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be $f_{1}$

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg = $f_{1}$

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = $f_{2}$

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = $f_{2}$

Mg > mg

so, $f_{2}$ > $f_{1}$

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

How are humidity and precipitation related?

german

Answer:

Relative humidity depends on the amount moisture actually in the air at some temperature to the amount of moisture that the air can hold.

For instance, at 25 deg C the air has a saturation pressure of 23.76 mm of Hg.

That means that if at that temperature the pressure of the water vapor in the air reaches 23.76 mm Hg then the air is 100% saturated.

I believe the standard air pressure at 25 deg C is 760 mm Hg.

Now if the pressure of the water vapor in the air is 1/2 * 23.76 = 11.88 mm then the air is 50% saturated and the relative hunidity is 50 %.

At 100% relative humidity rain occurs (the air can't hold any more water).
