Hi there,

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.

ollegr [7]
The correct option is D.
Resonance is a phenomenon in which a vibrating system or an external force induces another system to vibrate at greater amplitude at particular frequencies. 
When a tuning fork is struck with another object, the tuning fork will start to vibrate as a result of the force that is exerted by the object used to struck it. This type of vibration, without direct excitation by a man is an example of resonance.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Given the following :

Velocity (V) of ball = 5m/s

Radius = 1m

Can the ball reach the highest point of the circular track

of radius 1.0 m?

The highest point in the track could be considered as the diameter of the circle :

Radius = diameter / 2;

Diameter = (2 * Radius) = (2*1) = 2

Maximum height which the ball can reach :

Using the relation :

Kinetic Energy = Potential Energy

0.5mv^2 = mgh

0.5v^2 = gh

0.5(5^2) = 9.8h

0.5 * 25 = 9.8h

12.5 = 9.8h

h = 12.5 / 9.8

h = 1.2755

h = 1.26m

Therefore maximum height which can be reached is 1.26m.

Since h < Diameter

A small object of mass 3.82 g and charge -16.5 µC is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric f
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2271.16N/C  upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}

W=0.0375N

To calculate the electric field,

E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is  repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward
