Answer:
A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.
Explanation:
A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.
Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.
On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.
Answer:
The force applied to the surface is 9 kilo Newton.
Explanation:
While jumping on the surface the player applies the force that is equal to its weight on the surface.
The mass of the player is given as 90 kg.
Force applied by the player = weight of the player
Force applied by the player = m × g
Where m is the mass of the player and g is acceleration due to gravity
Force applied by the player = 90 × 9.8
Force applied by the player = 882 Newton
Expressing your answer to one significant figure, we get
Force applied by the player =0. 9 kilo Newton
The force applied to the surface is 0.9 kilo Newton.
A compound is a substance that consists of two or more elements, which is chemically combined, meaning that it could only be split by chemical means.
Examples:-
- NaCl is salt, chemically combined of Sodium and Chloride.
- H2O is water, chemically combined of Hydrogen and oxygen.
Answer:
The net displacement of the car is 3 km West
Explanation:
Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).
Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.
So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.
Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).
