A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...

A 1400 kg car starts from rest on a horizontal road and gains a speed of 61 km/h in 19 s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at the
lana [24]
(a) Let's convert the final speed of the car in m/s:
v_f = 61 km/h = 16.9 m/s
The kinetic energy of the car at t=19 s is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2= \frac{1}{2}(1400 kg)(16.9 m/s)^2=2.00 \cdot 10^5 J

(b) The average power delivered by the engine of the car during the 19 s is equal to the work done by the engine divided by the time interval:
P= \frac{W}{\Delta t}
But the work done is equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the car, and since its initial kinetic energy is zero (because the car starts from rest), this translates into
P= \frac{K}{\Delta t}= \frac{2.00 \cdot 10^5 J}{19 s}=1.05 \cdot 10^4 W

(c) The instantaneous power is given by
P_i = Fv_f
where F is the force exerted by the engine, equal to F=ma.

So we need to find the acceleration first:
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}=  \frac{16.9 m/s}{19 s}=0.89 m/s^2
And the problem says this acceleration is constant during the motion, so now we can calculate the instantaneous power at t=19 s:
P_i = Fv=(ma)v=(1400 kg)(0.89 m/s^2)(16.9 m/s)=2.11 \cdot 10^4 W

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

The line of latitude that is zero degrees latitude is the
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Equator

Explanation:

The equator is the line of latitude that separates the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere.Its magnitude is 0 degrees latitude. The equator and other lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The lines of longitude which is 0 degrees is known as the Greenwich meridian. The longitudinal lines however are not parallel as they converge at the poles.
