Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity. It refers only to how far an object has traveled. For example, 4 feet is a distance; it gives no information about direction.

There are no scalar quantities on the list you provided.

Some examples of scalar quantities are: distance, speed, mass, cost, temperature, density

What is angular velocity

butalik [34]

Answer:

angular velocity(ω) is the rate change of angular displacement.

ω=θ/t and it SI unit is rad/s

Explanation:

this is very similar with the definition of linear velocity (rate of change of displacement). it specifies the angular speed of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating.

A skater slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. She slows 10 points

zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

a = acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2-(5)^2}{2\times 20}\\\\a=-0.525\ m/s^2$

So, her acceleration is $0.525\ m/s^2$ and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.

For a mass oscillating on a spring at what positions are (a) velocity and (b) acceleration of the mass have maximum valeus?

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

a)At the mean position

b)At the extremes positions

Explanation:

Given that mass is having oscillation motion.

We know that

1. At the mean position -The velocity of the mass is maximum and the acceleration of the mass is minimum.The net force on the mass will be zero.

2. At the extreme position-The velocity of the mass is minimum and the acceleration of the mass is maximum.The net force on the mass will not be zero.

Therefore

a)At the mean position

b)At the extremes positions
