Why is acceleration called vector quantity

Physics
1 answer:
MrRissso [65]3 years ago
7 0
Because it has both magnitude and direction. When an object has positive acceleration, the acceleration occurs in the same direction as the movement of the object.

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year
Troyanec [42]

       (186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

  =   (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365)  mi/yr

  =      5,865,696,000,000  miles per year  (rounded to the nearest million miles)

Light of wavelength 436.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.31 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is "4.26 m".

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

\lambda = 436.1 \ nm

or,

  =436.1\times 10^{-9} \ m

Distance,

d = 0.31 \ mm

or,

  =0.31\times 10^{-3} \ m

Distance between the 1st and 2nd dark fringes,

(y_2-y_1) = 6\times 10^{-3} \ m

As we know,

⇒ \frac{d}{L} (y_2-y_1) = \lambda

or,

⇒ L=\frac{d(y_2-y_1)}{\lambda}

By substituting the values, we get

       =\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^{-6}}{436.1\times 10^{-9}}

       =\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^3}{436.1}

       =\frac{1860}{436.1}

       =4.26 \ m

A thin hoop is hung on a wall, supported by a horizontal nail. The hoop's mass is M=2.0 kg and its radius is R=0.6 m. What is th
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the thin hoop

M = 2kg

Radius of the hoop

R = 0.6m

Moment of inertial of a hoop is

I = MR²

I = 2 × 0.6²

I = 0.72 kgm²

Period of a physical pendulum of small amplitude is given by

T = 2π √(I / Mgd)

Where,

T is the period in seconds

I is the moment of inertia in kgm²

I = 0.72 kgm²

M is the mass of the hoop

M = 2kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity

g = 9.8m/s²

d is the distance from rotational axis to center of of gravity

Therefore, d = r = 0.6m

Then, applying the formula

T = 2π √ (I / MgR)

T = 2π √ (0.72 / (2 × 9.8× 0.6)

T = 2π √ ( 0.72 / 11.76)

T = 2π √0.06122

T = 2π × 0.2474

T = 1.5547 seconds

T ≈ 1.55 seconds to 2d•p

Then, the period of oscillation is 1.55seconds
