Which term is a scalar quantity?
balu736 [363]
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity. It refers only to how far an object has traveled. For example, 4 feet is a distance; it gives no information about direction.

A girl weighing 50 kgf wears sandals of pencil heel of area of cross section 1 cm^2, stands on the floor.An elephant weighing 20
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\boxed{{\boxed{\blue{ 12.5}}}}

Explanation:

Given, for girl : Weight or force;

\rm \: F_1 = 50 \: kgf

Area of both heels;

\rm \: A_1 =  \; 2 ×1 \;  cm^2 = 2  \: cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_1  =  \cfrac{F_1}{ A_1 }  =  \dfrac{50 \: kgf}{2 \: cm {}^{2} }  = 25 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 1}

For elephant, Weight = Force \rm F_2 = 2000 kg•f

Area of 4 feet;

\rm \: A_2  = \; 4 \times 250 \;  cm^2 = 1000 \:  cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_2 = {F_2}/{A_2} \;  = \cfrac{2 \cancel{0 00 }\:  kgf}{1 \cancel{000} \: cm^2} =  2 \: kgf \: { \:cm}^{- 1}

Now;

\rm  = \dfrac{Pressure \:  Exerted  \: by  \: the \:  Girl}{Pressure  \: exerted  \: by \:  the  \: elephant}

=  \rm \: P_1/P_2

\implies    \rm\cfrac{25 \: kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2} }{2 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2} } =  \rm\cfrac{25 \:  \cancel{kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2}} }{2 \: \cancel{ kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2}} } = \boxed{12.5}

Thus, the girl's pointed heel sandals exert 12.5 times more pressure P than the pressure P exerted by the elephant.

I aspire this helps!

How to find acceleration?
Yanka [14]
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / time
 
                a  =  (v - u) / t

Where v = final velocity in m/s              
            u = initial velocity in m/s 
            t = time in seconds.
            a = acceleration in m/s²

A proper record of the changes in velocity with the corresponding time would help find the acceleration.

Which of the following is a TRUE
DENIUS [597]

The statement that is the most true regarding the states of matter is the first statement.

A. Most matter on Earth exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.

This is correct since most of the matter on Earth exists in those 3 states, meanwhile plasma is not a state that most of matter on earth is found in since it is mostly associated to stars and the external galactic regions.

Therefore, B is incorrect.

C is false, since almost of all of the matter on earth can transform and change through each of the 3 states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas.

D is false since most of the matter in universe is actually made out of plasma instead of a liquid. In fact, over 99% of the known universe's matter is said to consist of plasma.

Please help! Will give brainliest. 10 points. Show work!
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

421.83 m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 396.9 m

Initial velocity (u) = 46.87 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) =...?

First, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the ground.

This can be calculated by doing the following:

t = √(2h/g)

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

Height (h) = 396.9 m

Time (t) =.?

t = √(2h/g)

t = √(2 x 396.9 / 9.8)

t = √81

t = 9 secs.

Therefore, it took 9 secs fir the ball to get to the ground.

Finally, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as illustrated below:

Time (t) = 9 secs.

Initial velocity (u) = 46.87 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) =...?

s = ut

s = 46.87 x 9

s = 421.83 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is 421.83 m
