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.

When a second student joins the first, the height difference between the liquid levels in the right and left pistons is 40 cm .

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

m = 56.5 kg

Explanation:

Since the addition of mass on one piston caused a change in pressure head at the other. Diameter of the piston calculated is used as 0.46 m

Δm*g / Area = p * g * Δh ..... Eq1

$m = \frac{p*h*A}{g}$

$m = \frac{850 * 0.4 * pi*0.46^2}{4*9.81}\\\\m= 56.5 kg$

A 150kg person stands on a compression spring with spring constant 10, 000 N/m and norminal.Length of 0.50.What is the togal len

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Total length of spring 0.647 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the person m = 150 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Spring constant k = 10000 N/m

Nominal length of spring = 0.50

According to hook's law

$mg=kx$

$150\times 9.8=10000\times x$

x = 0.147 m

So total length of spring = 0.50+0.147 = 0.647 m

How do you find total displacement

Monica [59]

That's actually a lot easier than finding total distance.

To find displacement, you only have to know where the trip started from, and where it ended. It doesn't matter what route was followed to actually travel from the start to the finish. The displacement is the straight-line distance and direction between those two points.
