Which of the following is a vector quantity?

Physics

djverab [1.8K]2 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.

A soccer player heads the ball and sends it flying vertically upwards at a speed of 18.0 m/s . How high above the players ' head
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

16.53 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 18.0 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

The maximum height reached by the ball can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 18² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 324 – 19.6h

Rearrange

19.6h = 324

Divide both side by 19.6

h = 324 / 19.6

h = 16.53 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.53 m

a skydiver jumped out of a plane and fell 9 miles to the ground. his average speed while falling was 174 miles/hour. how much ti
shutvik [7]

Answer:

t = 0.051 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

A skydiver jumped out of a plane and fell 9 miles to the ground. It means 9 miles is the distance covered.

The average speed of the skydiver is 174 miles/hour

We need to find the time for which he dive last. It means t is the time taken. Total distance covered divided by time taken is called average speed. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{9}{174}\\\\t=0.051\ s

So, a skydiver dive for 0.051 seconds.

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 × 106 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector
Ghella [55]

Answer:

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction

v_{x} = velocity along the horizontal direction = 3.0 x 10⁶ m/s

t = time of travel

X = horizontal distance traveled = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Time of travel can be given as

t = \frac{X}{v_{x}}

inserting the values

t = 0.11/(3.0 x 10⁶)

t = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

Y = vertical distance traveled = 34 cm = 0.34 m

a = acceleration = ?

t = time of travel  = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

v_{y} = initial velocity along the vertical direction = 0 m/s

Using the kinematics equation

Y = v_{y} t + (0.5) a t²

0.34 = (0) (3.67 x 10⁻⁸) + (0.5) a (3.67 x 10⁻⁸)²

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Find the momentum of a 500,000 kg train that is stopped on the tracks?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The answer should be A) 0m/s

Explanation:

It is stopped on the train tracks therefore it is not moving.

Please tell me if I am wrong because I'm not 100% sure on this. Hope it's right and that it helped you.
