Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of any quantity is the measurable value of the quantity. While the direction of the given quantity is the specific pointing direction of position or the angle at which it move.

The magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east will be 13 m/s

While the direction will be eastward.

Therefore, the magnitude is 13 m/s

The correct answer is option C

A 2,000 kg car is parked at the top of a 30 m high hill. what is its potential energy?

Phoenix [80]

The PE for this question will be 588,000 because we take the mass (2,000 kg), multiply it by 9.8 which is Gravitational Acceleration and then multiply that by the height (30 meters)

A ship travels with velocity given by 12, with current flowing in the direction given by 11 with respect to some co-ordinate axe

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

$v_x = 11.78 m/s$

Explanation:

Velocity of the ship is given as

$v = 12 units$

the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current

so we will have two components of the velocity

1) along the direction of the current

2) perpendicular to the direction of the current

so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as

$v_x = v cos\theta$

$v_x = 12 cos11$

$v_x = 11.78 m/s$

During a particular time interval, the displacement of an object is equal to zero. Must the distance traveled by this object als

Gnom [1K]

Answer: No, we can have a displacement equal to 0 while the distance traveled is different than zero.

Explanation:

Ok, let's write the definitions:

Displacement: The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position.

Distance traveled: Total distance that you moved.

So, for example, if at t = 0s, you are in your house, then you go to the store, and then you return to your house, we have:

The displacement is equal to zero, because the initial position is your house and the final position is also your house, so the displacement is zero.

But the distance traveled is not zero, because you went from you traveled the distance from your house to the store two times.

So no, we can have a displacement equal to zero, but a distance traveled different than zero.

The speed of the wave depends on what?

kolbaska11 [484]

The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.

The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.

It's pretty well unanimous for choice <em>A</em> .

According to string theory, six space-time dimensions cannot be measured except as quantum numbers of internal particle properti

aliina [53]

Answer:

Order of 10^(-35) m.

Explanation:

The string theory is a theoretical concept whereby the very small particles of particle physics are replaced by one dimensional objects which are called strings. This theory is also applicable to black hole physics, nuclear physics, cosmology, etc.

Now, according to string theory, six space-time dimensions cannot be measured except as quantum numbers of internal particle properties because they are curled up in size of the order of 10^(-35) m.

This is because the length of the scale is assumed to be on the order of the Planck length, or 10^(−35) meters which is the scale at which the effects of quantum gravity are usually believed to become very significant.
