Answer: Vector Quantity

Explanation: there are two physical quantities for Physics: Scalar and Vectors. For Scalar quantity it is only indicated through magnitude such m/s, km/h it only states how strong a moving object is. Example is speed. While for Vector Quantity is involves both magnitude and direction. Examples are acceleration and forces.

Answer:

Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour                    

Explanation:

We have given time = 1.7 hr

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is   = 102^{\circ}-65.3^{\circ}=36.7^{\circ}

Speed of first plane  = 730 m/h

So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m

Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr

So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.

Using the law of cosine, r^2 representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

r^2=1241^2+1003^2-2\times 1003\times 1241cos(36.7)=550112.8295

r = 741.6959 m

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Explanation:

As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.

Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So

1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have

1/2kx² = mgh

h = kx²/2mg

= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N

= 0.0259 m

= 2.59 cm

≅ 2.6 cm

So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
