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 wave has a wavelength of 4.9 m and a velocity of 9.8 m/s. The medium through which this wave is traveling is then heated so th

garri49 [273]

Answer:

the wavelength is 9.8 meters

Explanation:

We can use the relationship:

Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.

Initially we have:

wavelenght = 4.9m

velocity = 9.8m/s

then:

9.8m/s = 4.9m*f

f = 9.8m/s/4.9m = 2*1/s

now, if the velocity is doubled and the frequency remains the same, we have:

2*9.8m/s = wavelenght*2*1/s

wavelenght = (2*9.8m/s)*(1/2)s = 9.8 m

If you are given the mass of an object in pounds, the time in seconds, and the distance in feet, what must you do before you can

Alexandra [31]

Answer: First you must convert pound in kilogram, and feet in meter

Explanation:

To calculate momentum we use .

p=m*V

mass-m

speed-V

distance and time are used to calculate velocity(speed)

You are given :

mass- in pounds

for distance - in feet

before you do any calculation first you have to convert pounds in kilograms

and feet in meters.
