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.

The age of the universe is around 100,000,000,000,000,000s. A top quark has a lifetime of roughly 0.000000000000000000000001s. W

Answer:

10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

Explanation:

You need to determine how many quark top lives there have been in the history of the universe, that is, what is the age of the universe divided by the lifetime of a top quark. Expressed in a formula, this is:

$t\frac{Age of the universe}{Lifetime of a top quark}$

Yo know that the "Age of the universe" is 100,000,000,000,000,000 which can also be expressed as 10¹⁷ s .

You also know that the "Lifetime of a top quark" is 0.000000000000000000000001 which can also be expressed as 10⁻²⁴ s.

Then $t=\frac{10^{17} }{10^{-24} }$

Recalling that the result of dividing two powers of the same base is another power with the same base where the exponent is the subtraction of the initial exponents, it is possible to calculate this division as follows:

$t=10^{17-(-24)}$

$t=10^{17+24}$

t=10⁴¹ s

So 10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

An astronaut exploring a distant solar system lands on an unnamed planet with a radius of 2530 km. When the astronaut jumps upwa

Natali [406]

Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}$

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

$F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2$

so:

$m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg$

patriot [66]

Milk, apples, and beans don't have much carbohydrate. So if you
cut down on those, you don't really cut down much on carbohydrates.

If Rachel needs to reduce her intake of carbohydrates, she should
cut down on bread. (Also cake, sugar, corn, pasta, and potatoes.)

Explain why the driver's reaction time affects the thinking distance.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The thinking distance depends on the reaction time of the driver which could can affected by alcohol, distractions and tiredness. A faster speed increases both thinking distance, increasing the total stopping distance.
