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.

Which radiation has no electric charge associated with it?
joja [24]

Answer:

Gamma radiation

Explanation:

There are three types of ionizing radiation:

- Alpha radiation: it consists of alpha particles, which are nuclei of helium (so, they contain 2 protons and 2 neutron) --> therefore, they have a net charge of +2 (given by the positive charge of the two electrons)

- Beta radiation: it consists of electron (in case of beta-minus radiation) or positrons (in case of beta-plus radiation). Therefore, in both cases the radiation is electrically charged: charge -e for the electrons, charge +e for the positrons

- Gamma radiation: it consists of high-energy photons. Since photons are electrically neutral, gamma radiation has no electric charge associated with it.

A 81 kg man is riding on a 40 kg cart traveling at a speed of 2.3 m/s. He jumps off with zero horizontal speed relative to the g
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

In this case we have to use the Principle of conservation of Momentum:

<em>This principle says that in a system  the total momentum is constant if no external forces act in the system. The formula is:</em>

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

<em>Where:</em>

m_1: Mass of the first object.

m_2: Mass of the second object.

v_1: Initial velocity of the first object.

v_2: Initial velocity of the second object.

u_1: Final velocity of the first object.

u_2: Final velocity of the second object.

In <u>this problem</u> we have:

m_1=81kg\\m_2=40kg\\v_1_2=2.3\frac{m}{s}

u_1=0\frac{m}{s}

Observation: v_1_2: Is because the system has the same initial velocity.

First we have to find u_2,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

We can rewrite it as:

(m_1+m_2)v_1_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

Replacing with the data:

(m_1+m_2)v_1_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2\\\\(81kg+40kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}=81kg(0\frac{m}{s})+40kg(u_2)\\\\(121kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}=40kg(u_2)\\\\\frac{(121kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}}{40kg}=u_2\\\\\frac{278.3}{40}\frac{m}{s}=u_2\\\\6.96\frac{m}{s}=u_2

We found the final velocity of the cart, but the problem asks for the resulting change in the cart speed, this means:

\Delta v=u_2-v_2\\\Delta v=6.96\frac{m}{s}-2.3\frac{m}{s}\\\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

Then, the resulting change in the cart speed is:

\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

In which direction does the electric field point at a position directly north of a positive charge?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

B. South

Explanation:

An electric field can be defined as the amount of electric force per unit charge. The direction of the electric field can be determined by the motion of a positive test charge under the electric force.

The direction of electric field is radially outward for a positive charge and radially inward for a negative charge. Thus, for the electric field points toward SOUTH at a position directly south of a positive charge.
