As per the question there are three physical quantities named as position,distance and displacement.

Before coming into a conclusion first we have to understand a vector and a scalar.

A scalar quantity is a quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specifications.

A vector is a quantity which has magnitude as well as direction and at the same time it is in accordance with the paraellogram law of vector addition.

Out of the three options displacement and position are vector quantities.It is because it is the minimum distance between two points .It has magnitude as well as direction.

Distance can not be considered as a vector quantity as it has only magnitude.There is no specific directions of distance travelled.

Position vector is a vector which provides location of an object in a plane or space.It is nothing else except the point which has x,y,z coordinates with origin is taken as the reference point.

Hence position and displacement are vectors

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 34.0 M/s at the edge of a roof top. Find the horizontal and vertical componen
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

v_x=34 m/s

v_y=53.9\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch</u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration acts in that direction, thus:

vx=v

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

v_y=g.t

The horizontal component of the velocity is always the same:

v_x=34 m/s

The vertical component at t=5.5 s is:

v_y=9.8*5.5=53.9

v_y=53.9\ m/s

The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we ________.
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h2>Answer: can see</h2>

Explanation:

The portion visible by the human eye of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 380 nm (violet-blue) and 780 nm (red) approximately.  Which  means this part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light.  

Note the fact only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

Therefore:

Physics question, help please!

The change in potential energy when the block falls to ground is -480J.

The maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball is 480 J.

The initial kinetic energy of the ball is 0 J.

The final  kinetic energy of the ball is 0.148J.

The initial potential energy of the ball is 0.187 J.

The final  potential energy of the ball is 0 J.

The work done by the air resistance is 0.039 J.

<h3>Change in potential energy when the block falls to ground</h3>

ΔP.E = -mgh

ΔP.E = -Wh

ΔP.E = - 40 x 12

ΔP.E = -480 J

<h3>Maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

ΔK.E = - ΔP.E

ΔK.E = - (-480 J)

ΔK.E = 480 J

<h3>Initial kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

K.Ei = 0.5mv²

where;

  • v is zero since it is initially at rest

K.Ei = 0.5m(0) = 0

<h3>Final kinetic energy</h3>

K.Ef =  0.5mv²

K.Ef = 0.5(0.0091)(5.7)²

K.Ef = 0.148 J

<h3>Initial potential energy of the ball</h3>

P.Ei = mghi

P.Ei = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 2.1

P.Ei = 0.187 J

<h3>Final potential energy</h3>

P.Ef = mghf

P.Ef = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 0

P.Ef = 0

<h3>Work done by the air resistance</h3>

W = ΔE

W = P.E - K.E

W = 0.187 J - 0.148 J

W = 0.039 J
