Why is acceleration called vector quantity

Physics
1 answer:

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.

A cylinder of mass 250 kg and radius 2.60 m is rotating at 4.00 rad/s on a frictionless.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The angular momentum of a cylinder, when it is rotating with constant angular velocity is Lini =Iωi

. When two cylinders are added to the rotating cylinder, which are identical in their dimensions, the moment of inertia of the entire system increases (since mass increases). The final moment of inertia will be 3I

Since friction exist, all the cylinders start rotating with same angular velocity, the new angular velocity can be calculated using conservation of angular momentum

Thus, Iωi =3Iωf ⟹ωf =ωi/3 = 0.33ωi

Bicycle A with mass 40 Kg is traveling with a velocity of 4 m/s and Bicycle B with mass 20 Kg is traveling with a velocity of 2m
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

bicycle A has a greater K.E.

Explanation:

K.E = 1/2mv²

bicycle A = 1/2 × 40 × 4² = 320J

bicycle B = 1/2 × 20 × 2² = 100J

bicycle A has a greater K.E. because it has bigger mass and moves with faster velocity

A forklift raises a 72-kg crate onto a shelf 3.6 meters above the floor. How much gravitational potential energy does the crate
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

<h2>2540.16 J</h2>

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 72 × 9.8 × 3.6 = 2540.16

We have the final answer as

<h3>2540.16 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

A charge q moves from point A to point B. The potential energy of the charge at point A is 5.3 _ 10-10 joules and at point is B
stiv31 [10]
The change in electric potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy; thus:
K.E = 5.3 x 10⁻¹⁰ - 3.1 x 10⁻¹⁰
K.E = 2.2 x 10⁻¹⁰ Joules
Option D is correct.
