Vector quantity is defined by direction as well as magnitude both

so now lets discuss all option

1) distance = it is total path length between two points so there is no direction needed in it so it is scalar

2) Speed = it is ratio of total distance covered and total time, so it also do not require any direction.

<em>3)velocity = it is ratio of displacement and time, and displacement is always given with direction so velocity is a vector quantity</em>

4) time = time is the measurement of the interval of two events and we do not require any direction in it so its a scalar quantity.

Consider a traveling wave described by the formula
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The wave is traveling in the +x direction.

Explanation:

The equation of a wave is given by the formula as :

y(x,t)=A\ sin(kx-\omega t)

Here,

A is the amplitude of wave

(kx-\omega t) is the phase of wave

\omega is the angular frequency of the wave

We need to find the correct statement out of given options. The given equation can be rewritten as :

y(x,t)=A\ sin(\omega t-kx)

Here, the propagation constant is negative. So, the wave is moving in +x direction. Hence, the correct option is (a).

Combine these three velocity vectors into a resultant: 3.0 m/s north, 4.0 m/s east 1.0 m/s west. Identify the resultant vector
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s

Explanation:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s west based on triangle law of vector addition, when two sides of a triangle is represented by two vectors, the resultant vector is the third side of the triangle.

Two charges, one of 2.50μC and the other of -3.50μC, are placed on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 0.600 m
aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

charge of first body q_1=2.5\ mu C

charge of second body q_2=-3.5\ mu C

Particle 1 is at origin and particle 2 is at x=0.6\ m

third Particle which charge +q must be placed left of 2.5\mu C because it will repel the q charge while -3.5\mu C will attract it

suppose it is placed at a distance of x m

F_{1q}=\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}

F_{2q}=\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}

F_{1q}+F_{2q}=0

\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}+\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}=0

\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}=\frac{kq(3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}

\frac{0.6+x}{x}=(\frac{3.5}{2.5})^{0.5}

0.6+x=1.1832x

x=3.27\ m
