Which of the following is a vector quantity?

Physics
1 answer:
djverab [1.8K]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.

12. An organ pipe that is 1.75 m long and open at both ends produces sound of
podryga [215]

Answer:

354 m/s

Explanation:

For the second overtune (Third harmonic) of an open pipe,

λ = 2L/3................................ Equation 1

Where L = Length of the open pipe, λ = Wave length.

Given: L = 1.75 m.

Substitute into equation 1

λ = 2(1.75)/3

λ = 1.17 m.

From the question,

V = λf.......................... Equation 2

V = speed of sound in the room, f = frequency

Given: f = 303 Hz.

Substitute into equation 2

V = 1.17(303)

V = 353.5

V ≈ 354 m/s

Hence the right answer is 354 m/s
