Before answering this question,first we have to understand a vector.

A vector quantity is a physical quantity which has not only magnitude but also direction for it's complete specifications.It is also in accordance with the paraellogram law of vector addition.

As per the question the object is moving at 10 m/s due north.The magnitude of this quantity is 10 m/s.The direction of the quantity is towrds north.Hence the quantity given in the question has magnitude as well as direction.


As the quantity given here refers to the distance travelled per unit time, the quantity will be either speed or velocity.The quantity can not be considered as speed .It is because speed in a given direction is called velocity.

Hence the quantity is velocity .


The correct option is B.

pochemuha

Answer:

V = f λ     speed of wave in terms of frequency and wavelength

t = S / V      time for wave to travel a distance S

t = 91.4 m / 344.5 m/s = .265 sec        time to travel 91.4 m

Write a hypothesis about how the number of half-lives affects the number of radioactive atoms. Use the "if . . . then . . . beca
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate.

The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process.

For a very large half life, it would take a very long time for the radioactive nuclide to decay to half.

With each half life reached, a new set of daughter cell is formed. Atoms that have short half life would decay rapidly. Every radionuclide has its own characteristic half-life.

If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life. With this observation, we can hypothesise and conduct experiment to support the assertion that as the number of half-lives increases then the number of radioactive atoms decreases.

Answer:

Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour                    

Explanation:

We have given time = 1.7 hr

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is   = 102^{\circ}-65.3^{\circ}=36.7^{\circ}

Speed of first plane  = 730 m/h

So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m

Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr

So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.

Using the law of cosine, r^2 representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

r^2=1241^2+1003^2-2\times 1003\times 1241cos(36.7)=550112.8295

r = 741.6959 m
