Which quantity is a scalar quantity?

Physics
1 answer:
kow [346]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

area is the scalar quantity

Explanation:

Scalar quantity are those which only have magnitude and no direction.

For example: mass, time, distance etc.

Vector quantity are those which have both magnitude and direction.

For example: displacement , velocity etc.

From the given options, the quantity which is scalar is are a because it only has magnitude but no directions.

Where acceleration, velocity, displacement and force all are vector quantities., the correct answer is option B.

If a photon has frequency = 2.00 x 1014s-1 and the speed of light = 3.00 x 108ms-1, then what is its wavelength?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The photon has a wavelength of 1.5x10^{-6}m

Explanation:

The speed of a wave can be defined as:

v = \nu \cdot \lambda (1)

Where v is the speed, \nu is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength.

Equation 1 can be expressed in the following way for the case of an electromagnetic wave:

c = \nu \cdot \lambda (2)              

 

Where c is the speed of light.    

Therefore, \lamba\lambda can be isolated from equation 2 to get the wavelength of the photon.

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} (3)

\lambda = \frac{3.00x10^{8}m/s}{2.00x10^{14}s^{-1}}

\lambda = 1.5x10^{-6}m

Hence, the photon has a wavelength of 1.5x10^{-6}m        

<em>Summary:  </em>

Photons are the particles that constitutes light.

since both components, length and time, are measurable 
<span>since Rate = length ÷ time </span>
<span>∴ rate is also measurable and ∴ quantitative.

Trey races his bicycle for 192m. A wheel of his bicycle turns 48 times as the bicycle travels this distance. What is the diamete
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1.27 m

Explanation:

Distance = 192 m

number of rotations = 48

Distance traveled in one rotation = 2 x π x r

Where, r be the radius of wheel.

so, distance traveled in 48 rotations = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

It is equal to the distance traveled.

192 = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

r = 0.637 m

diameter of wheel = 2 x radius of wheel = 2 x 0.637 = 1.27 m

Two photographers are competing for business in town. Andrea uses only film photography and Keira uses only digital photography.
____ [38]

There is no right or wrong answer, your teacher wants you to support your own answer with points. As long as the reasons make logical sense you are fine.

I think they both have valid points. Their replies are both true, but from a buyer's perspective who would you purchase services from? You would get different answers depending on who you ask.

If you choose to go old school, obviously you get an actual photo that can be stored physically. This means it is a memory that can be preserved, and it might feel more nostalgic being able to touch the photo.

On the other hand, a digitally stored photo can be altered (photoshop), but it is forever as long as the internet still exists. A physical photo would fade with time, which doesn't happen with a digital photo.

It is definitely easier to argue that digital photography has more advantages (they do, it is why nobody uses film anymore)

Points you can consider:

Can be transferred to the other side of the world instantly

Ability to make copies and print as many photos as you want

Can be stored on cloud/devices and be like that forever

Compare them with film photography to give a more solid response.

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only
Pavel [41]

Answer:

vb = 22.13 m/s

Explanation:

ma = 124 kg

mb = 13 kg

vi = 2.10 m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, and considering that, initially, both the astronaut and the bag moved together at 2.10 m/s:

(m_a+m_b)v_i=m_av_a+m_bv_b

The minimum final velocity of the bag, vb, the will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever occurs when va = 0:

(124+13)2.10=124*0+13v_b\\v_b=\frac{287.7}{13}\\v_b= 22.13\ m/s

The minimum final velocity of the bag is 22.13 m/s.
