Answer:

Speed

Explanation:

- A scalar quantity is defined as a quantity which has a magnitude only (no direction)

- A vector quantity is defined as a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction

Let's analyze each option:

- Centripetal force: force is a vector, because it has a magnitude and also a direction

- Weight: weight is a force, and force are vector quantities, so weight is a vector as well

- Speed: speed is a scalar quantity, because it has only a magnitude, no direction

- Acceleration: acceleration is a vector quantity, because it has a magnitude, but also a direction (because it represents the rate of charge in velocity, and since velocity is a vector, acceleration must be a vector as well)

So, the correct choice is

Speed

Scalar is a quantity such as mass or length that is completely determined by its own magnitude and has no direction. Therefore, your answer is Speed.

Explain the difference between si base units and derived units. give an example of each
34kurt
Base SI unit is the unit that used for simple quantity like time=second and length= meter. They only have one unit.
Derived unit is more complex because you multiply or divide at least two base SI, making it have more than 1 unit. The example could be velocity which was time/length = m/s

Consider a stone in free fall on a planet with gravitational acceleration 3.4 m/s^2. Suppose you would like the stone to experie
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Angle of incline is 20.2978°

Explanation:

Given that;

Gravitational acceleration on a planet a = 3.4 m/s²

Gravitational acceleration on Earth g = 9.8 m/s²

Angle of incline = ∅

Mass of the stone = m

Force on the stone along the incline will be;

F = mgSin∅

F = ma

The stone has the same acceleration as that of the gravitational acceleration on the planet.

so

ma = mgSin∅

a = gSin∅

Sin∅ = a / g

we substitute

Sin∅ = (3.4 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

Sin∅ = 0.3469

∅ = Sin⁻¹( 0.3469 )

∅ = 20.2978°

Therefore, Angle of incline is 20.2978°

Acceleration of gravity on jupiter
Viefleur [7K]

The acceleration of gravity on Jupiter is listed as  <em>24.79 m/s²</em> .

That's roughly  2.53  times its value on Earth.  So if you weigh, let's say,
130 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh about 328 pounds on Jupiter.

A ski jumper has a mass of 59.6 kg. She is moving with a speed of 23.4 m/s at a height of 44.6 meters above the ground. Determin
Daniel [21]

Hello!

Use the formula:

M = k * p

Data:

M = Mechanic energy

k = Kinetic energy

p = Potencial energy

Descomposing:

M = (0,5*mv²) + (mgh)

Replacing:

M = (0,5 * 59,6 kg * (23,4 m/s)²) + (59,6 kg * 9,81 m/s² * 44,6 m)

M = 16317,28 J + 26076,54 J

M = 42393,82 J

The mechanic energy is <u>42393,82 Joules.</u>
