Why are clockwise and counterclockwise referred to as “senses,” rather than directions?

Clockwise and counter-clockwise is considered as a sense rather than a direction because it is only a view point where its movement of direction is always changing. Moreover, it is assumed as a tangential velocity of different points on the same body that is spinning in all directions and do not describe the motion of an object. The term can only be applied to object-observer system and not particularly for a direction.

Answer: Hello there!

Let's suppose that are directions

Suppose that the hour hand of the clock is on the 3, then the "direction" clockwise points down, and the direction "counterclockwise" points up.

Now if the hour hand is in the 12, the clockwise "direction" points to the right, and the counterclockwise points left.

Then you can see that the direction changes depending on where are we looking, this is the reason for them to be called "senses", because in this way you don't need to, for example, use the position of the object which movement is being described.

An object is released from rest and falls a distance h during the first second of time. How far will it fall during the next sec
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

E. 3h

Explanation:

We know that

u = 0 m/s.

velocity after t = 1s

v = u+gt = 0+9.81 x 1s= 9.81 m/s

distance covered in 1st sec

= =>> ut+0.5 x g x t²

=>>0 + 0.5x 9.81 x 1 = 4.90m

Let 4.90 be h

distance travelled in 2nd second will now be used

So velocity after t = 1s

=>>1 x t+ 0.5 x g x t²

=>9.81x 1 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 1 = 3 x 4.90

So since h= 4.90

Then the ans is 3x h = 3h

The term that is being described above is our CONSCIOUSNESS. When we are conscious, we are fully aware of what we are thinking in any given moment like our thoughts, feelings, memories, and even our sensations. Being conscious makes us feel that we are capable of doing and feeling something for the moment.

A resistor converts 350 J of electrical energy to other forms of energy. What is the amount of
Helga [31]

Answer:

50C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Electrical energy  = 350J

Potential difference  = 7V

Unknown:

Amount of charge = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, use the expression below;

  E  = q x v

E is the electrical energy

q is the quantity of charge

v is the voltage

Insert the parameters and solve for q;

            350 = q x 7

            q = \frac{350}{7}

             q = 50C
