Why is acceleration called vector quantity

Physics

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.

The image shows a wheel that’s wound up and released. The wheel moves up and down as shown. Identify the position of the wheel w
slega [8]

The highest point of the wheel is the position of the wheel when its potential energy is greatest.

<h3>At what position of the wheel potential energy is greatest?</h3>

The position of the wheel when its potential energy is greatest when it is at the highest point because potential energy depends on the height of an object. If the object is at more height then it has more potential energy and vice versa.

So we can conclude that the highest point of the wheel is the position of the wheel when its potential energy is greatest.

Two objects of equal mass are a fixed distance apart. If the mass of each object could be tripled, the gravitational force betwe
antiseptic1488 [7]

gravitational force between two objects is given as

F = G m₁ m₂/r²

where m₁ = mass of first object , m₂ = mass of second object , r = distance between the two objects .

Initial case :

m₁ = m₂ = m

gravitational force between the objects is given as

F = G m²/r²

Final Case :

m₁ = m₂ = 3 m

new gravitational force between the objects is given as

F' = G (3m)²/r²

F' = 9 G m²/r²

F' = 9 F

hence the gravitational force between the two objects becomes 9 times.

Small, slowly moving spherical particles experience a drag force given by Stokes' law: Fd = 6πηrv where r is the radius of the p
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

At the time of a body achieving terminal velocity, the drag force becomes equal to the weight of the body less the buoyant force by the surrounding medium which can be represented by the following equation

\frac{4\pi\times r^3(d-\rho)}{3} =6\pi\times n\times r\times v

Where r is radius of the body , d is density of the material of the body σ is density of the medium and n is coefficient of viscosity of the medium and v is terminal velocity.

Simplifying

v = \frac{2\times r^2(d-\rho)}{9\times n}

Assuming the value of density of air as 1.225 kg/m³ and putting other given values in the formula we get

v = [tex]\frac{2\times (1.2\times10^{-5})^2(2182-1.225)}{9\times 1.8\times10^{-5}}[/tex]

v = 387 x 10⁻⁵ m/s

Terminal velocity = 387 x 10⁻⁵ m/s

Time taken to fall a distance of 100 m

= \frac{100}{387\times10^{-5}}

= 2.6 x 10⁴ s.
