Why is it important to specify both magnitude and direction with some measurements and not others?

Physics
1 answer:
FrozenT [24]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Other measurements have modulus, but also have a direction and sense, for example: position, speed, these quantities are called vectors.

Explanation:

Some magnitudes have only module for example: time, energy. These quantities are called scalars

Other measurements have modulus, but also have a direction and sense, for example: position, speed, these quantities are called vectors.

For these vector magnitudes, both the magnitude and the direction and the point of application must be given, to have complete information about them

A 0.5 kg block of aluminum (caluminum=900j/kg⋅∘c) is heated to 200∘c. the block is then quickly placed in an insulated tub of co
Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem, we should recall the law of conservation of energy. That is, the heat lost by the aluminium must be equal to the heat gained by the cold water. This is expressed in change in enthalpies therefore:

- ΔH aluminium = ΔH water

where ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)

The negative sign simply means heat is lost. Therefore we calculate for the mass of water (m):

- 0.5 (900) (20 – 200) = m (4186) (20 – 0)

m = 0.9675 kg

 

Using same mass of water and initial temperature, the final temperature T of a 1.0 kg aluminium block is:

- 1 (900) (T – 200) = 0.9675 (4186) (T – 0)

- 900 T + 180,000 = 4050 T

4950 T = 180,000

T = 36.36°C

 

The final temperature of the water and block is 36.36°C

Which is not a source of electrical energy in the United States
xenn [34]

Every practical source of energy that you can imagine, as well as a few impractical ones, are used somewhere in the USA.

From whale oil in Alaska, to nuclear energy, to coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass.

Oh ! Geothermal energy and tidal energy aren't too popular, but I'll bet if you looked, you'd find these used too, SOMEwhere in the 50 states.

in vision, the ____ stream controls identification of an object, and the ____ stream controls action toward the object.
prisoha [69]

Answer: In vision, the ventral stream controls identification of an object, and the dorsal stream controls action toward the object.

Explanation: The ventral stream is associated with object recognition and form representation.

Dorsal stream  a pathway that carries visual information from the primary visual cortex to the parietal lobe.

Hope it helps :)

A car accelerates from rest to 100 m/s in 20 s. What is its acceleration?
Dmitriy789 [7]
  • initial velocity=0m/s=u
  • Final velocity=v=100m/s
  • Time=t=20s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{100-0}{20}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{100}{20}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=5m/s^2
