The easiest, non-technical way to think about it is like this:
-- A scalar is a quantity that has a size but no direction.
Those include temperature, speed, cost, volume, distance, etc.
One number is all there is to know about it, and there's no way you can
add more of the same stuff to it that would cancel both of them out.
-- A vector is a quantity that has a size and also has a direction.
Those include force, displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc.
It takes more than one number to completely describe one of these.
Also, if you combine two of the same vector quantity in different ways,
you can get different results, and they can even cancel each other out.
Here are some examples. Notice that in each of these examples,
every speed has a direction that goes along with it. This turns the
scalar speed into a vector velocity.
If you're walking inside a bus, and the bus is driving along the road,
then your velocity along the road is the sum of your walking velocity
inside the bus plus the velocity of the bus along the road.
-- If you're walking north up the middle of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is driving north along the road at 20 miles per hour, then
your velocity along the road is 22 miles per hour north.
-- If you're walking south towards the back of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is driving north along the road at 5 miles per hour, then your
velocity along the road is 3 miles per hour north.
-- If you're walking south towards the back of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is just barely rolling north along the road at 2 miles per hour,
then your velocity along the road is zero.
-- If you're in a big railroad flat-car that's rolling north along the track
at 2 miles per hour, and you walk across the flat-car towards the east
at 2 miles per hour, then your velocity along the ground is 2.818 miles
per hour toward the northeast.
Answer:
Explanation:
mass of refrigerator, m = 110 kg
coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.85
coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.59
(a) the minimum force required to just start the motion in refrigerator
F = μs x mg
F = 0.85 x 110 x 9.8
F = 916.3 N
(b) The force required to move the refrigerator with constant speed
F' = μk x mg
F' = 0.59 x 110 x 9.8
F' = 636.02 N
(c) Let a be the acceleration.
Net force = Applied force - friction force
F net = 950 - 636.02
F net = 313.98 N
a = F net / mass
a = 313.98 / 110
a = 2.85 m/s²
Answer:
A. Power = Work / Time
Explanation:
Power is the amount of work done over time, or rather the rate of work, which is given by the unit of watts (W). Since work is defined by Force * Displacement, we can also say Power = Force * Displacement / Time.
Answer:
(a) Bus will traveled further a distance of 40 m
(b) It will take 7.5 sec to stop the bus
Explanation:
We have given initial velocity of the bus u = 24 m/sec
And final velocity v = 16 m/sec
Distance traveled in this process s = 50 m
From third equation of motion we know that 


(a) Now as the bus finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec
So 

s= 90 m
So further distance traveled by bus = 90-50 =40 m
(b) Now as the bus finally stops so final velocity v= 0 m/sec
Initial velocity u = 24 m/sec
Acceleration 
So time 
He feels a 10 N to the left force moves. Yes ,he moves.
