Answer:

velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the total distance covered per unit time and the velocity is defined as the total displacement per unit time.

Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. The quantities that have both magnitude and direction are vector quantity and the quantity that have only magnitude are scalar quantity.The SI unit of both velocity and speed is m/s.

So, the correct option is (c) "  velocity is a vector and requires a direction ".

Answer: C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- scalars: these are quantities that have only a magnitude

- vectors: there are quantities that have both magnitude and direction

As an example, speed is a scalar while velocity is a vector. Therefore, speed has only a magnitude, while velocity has both magnitude and direction: therefore, the difference between the two quantities is that velocity is a vector and requires a direction, as stated in option C.

If the two particles that make up the dipole are 2.5 mm apart, what is the magnitude of the charge on each particle
ad-work [718]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The electric force due to a uniform external electric field causes a torque of magnitude 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m on an electric dipole oriented at 30° from the direction of the external field. The dipole moment of the dipole is 7.5 × 10⁻¹² C⋅m.

What is the magnitude of the external electric field?

If the two particles that make up the dipole are 2.5 mm apart, what is the magnitude of the charge on each particle?

Answer:

- the magnitude of the external electric field is 5333.3 N/C

- the magnitude of the charge on each particle is 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C  ≈ 3 nC

Explanation:

Given that;

Torque = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m

dipole moment = 7.5 × 10⁻¹²

∅ = 30°

The moment T of restoring couple is;

T = PEsin∅

E = T/Psin∅

we substitute

E = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m / (7.5 × 10⁻¹²) sin(30°)

E = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ / 3.75 × 10⁻¹²

E =  5333.3 N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the external electric field is 5333.3 N/C

The dipole moment is given by the expression;

p = ql

q = p / l

given that l = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m

we substitute

q = 7.5 × 10⁻¹² / 0.0025

q = 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C ≈ 3 nC

Therefore, the magnitude of the charge on each particle is 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C ≈ 3 nC

A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. This means that it can be formed by rotating a parabola around its a
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given dish width= 48ft

Depth = 4ft

Using equation of a parabola

x²= 4py

48² = 4p 4

4p = 576

P= 144ft

Thus the the receiver should be placed 144ft from t the vertex
