Hi there,

Unlike velocity,speed is scalar,which means it is described by MAGNITUDE only.

Answer:

magnitude

Explanation:

There are two types of quantities.

Scalars: The quantities which are completely described by their magnitudes only are called scalars.

For example, mass, length, time, speed, temperature, etc.

Vectors: The quantities which are completely explained by their magnitude and direction both are called vectors. For example, velocity, weight, force, momentum, etc.

As speed is a scalar quantity so it can be completely described by their magnitude only.

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kgkg, inner radius 0.100 mm, and outer radius 0.200 mm is free to rotate without friction around

kipiarov [429]

Answer: 2.86 m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,

ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)

In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have

mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)

To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²

To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula

I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]

I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]

I = 0.04 + 0.01

I = 0.05 kgm²

Also, the angular velocity is given by

w = v / R2

w = 4 / (1/5)

w = 20 rad/s

If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,

0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)

4.9h = 4 + 10

4.9h = 14

h = 14 / 4.9

h = 2.86 m

A plastic bag is massed. It is then filled with a gas which is insoluble in water and massed again. The apparent weight of the g

levacccp [35]

The actual weight of the gas = apparent weight + weight.

The actual weight = $W_{A}$ + W

Given that a plastic bag is massed. It is then filled with a gas which is insoluble in water and massed again.

If the apparent weight of the gas is the difference between these two masses, then let the apparent weight = $W_{A}$

The gas is squeezed out of the bag to determine its volume by the displacement of water. Since

density = mass / volume

The density of water is 1000 kg/ $m^{2}$

we can get the mass of the gas by making m the subject of the formula.

W = mg

The actual weight of the gas = apparent weight + weight

That is,

The actual weight = $W_{A}$ + W

Show the weight of the ladder and draw the missing Frictional force.

madreJ [45]

Since there is no friction between the ladder and the wall, there can be no vertical force component. That's the tricky part ;)

So to find the weight, divide the 100N <em>normal</em> force by earths gravitational acceleration, 9.8m/s^2

$W = \frac{N}{g} = \frac{100N}{9.8m/s^{2}} = \frac{100}{9.8} = 10.2kg$

Then;
Draw an arrow at the base of the ladder pointing towards the wall with a value of 30N, to show the frictional force.
