Answer: Speed

Explanation: Scalar quantity is the quantity that only possess magnitude but no direction.

Vector quantity is the quantity that only possess magnitude as well as direction.

Speed is defined as the displacement of an object per unit time and is a scalar quantity as it does not involve any direction.

Velocity is defined as the distance moved by an object per unit time and is a vector quantity as it deals with magnitude as well as direction.

Hello!

To calculate the speed(velocity) of a moving object, we can divide the displacement by the time interval in which the displacement occurred.

This is based off the formula:
v=d/t

Where v=velocity, d=total displacement, t=Time interval

Hope this helps. Any question please just ask. Thank you kindly.

A 12,500 N alien UFO is hovering about the surface of Earth. At time , its position can be given as () = ((0.24 m/s^3)^3 + 25 m)

stepladder [879]

a) $F=(3675i-4543k)N$

b) 5843 N

Explanation:

The position of the UFO at time t is given by the vector:

$r(t)=(0.24t^3+25)i+(4.2t)j+(-0.43t^3+0.8t^2)k$

Therefore it has 3 components:

$r_x=0.24t^3+25\\r_y=4.2t\\r_z=-0.43t^3+0.8t^2$

We start by finding the velocity of the UFO, which is given by the derivative of the position:

$v_x=r'_x=\frac{d}{dt}(0.24t^3+25)=3\cdot 0.24t^2=0.72t^2\\v_y=r'_y=\frac{d}{dt}(4.2t)=4.2\\v_x=r'_z=\frac{d}{dt}(-0.43t^3+0.8t^2)=-1.29t^2+1.6t$

And then, by differentiating again, we find the acceleration:

$a_x=v'_x=\frac{d}{dt}(0.72t^2)=1.44t\\a_y=v'_y=\frac{d}{dt}(4.2)=0\\a_z=v'_z=\frac{d}{dt}(-1.29t^2+1.6t)=-2.58t+1.6$

The weight of the UFO is W = 12,500 N, so its mass is:

$m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{12500}{9.8}=1276 kg$

Therefore, the components of the force on the UFO are given by Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

So, Substituting t = 2 s, we find:

$F_x=ma_x=(1276)(1.44t)=(1276)(1.44)(2)=3675 N\\F_y=ma_y=0\\F_z=ma_z=(1276)(-2.58t+1.6)=(1276)(-2.58(2)+1.6)=-4543 N$

So the net force on the UFO at t = 2 s is

$F=(3675i-4543k)N$

The magnitude of a 3-dimensional vector is given by

$|v|=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2+v_z^2}$

where

$v_x,v_y,v_z$ are the three components of the vector

In this problem, the three components of the net force are:

$F_x=3675 N\\F_y=0\\F_z=-4543 N$

Therefore, substituting into the equation, we find the magnitude of the net force:

$|F|=\sqrt{3675^2+0^2+(-4543)^2}=5843 N$
