garik1379 [7]2 years ago
5 0

Vectors are used to represent physical magnitudes that have an associated address. For example, if we want to represent the displacement of an object, it is not enough to describe only the distance as 10 meters, it is also necessary to describe in which direction the displacement occurred, for example, 30 ° towards the northeast.

Therefore the vectors are measured in one or several dimensions that include a magnitude and an address.

The correct option is the last:

"<em>a measurement in more than one dimension that includes a magnitude and a direction</em>"

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The idea that hard work is the most important aspect of new inventions existed before Edison gave his quote, however.

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) P=2450\ Pa

b) \delta h=23.162\ cm

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m

a)

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

P=\rho_w.g.h_w

we've the density of the water =1000\ kg.m^{-3}

P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25

P=2450\ Pa

b)

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m

1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m

h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm

<u>Now the difference in the column is :</u>

\delta h=h_w-h_m

\delta h=25-1.838

\delta h=23.162\ cm

A hot iron ball of mass 200 g is cooled to a temperature of 22°C from 100°C. How much heat was
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Q= -6900 J

Explanation:

use the formula Q=mC(T_2 - T_1) and sub in givens

Q=mC(T_2 - T_1)

Q= (200 g)(0.444 J/g°C)(22-100)

Q= -6900 J

The negative sign means heat is lost, which agrees with the decrease in temperature

What is the momentum of a 50-kilogram ice skater gliding across the ice at a speed of 5 m/s? (1 point)
serious [3.7K]
Momentum is a term used to quantify the motion of an object has. It is calculated as the the product of the object's mass and the velocity. It is expressed as:

Momentum = m x v
Momentum = 50 kg x 5 m/s
Momentum = 250 kg m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is the last option.

The tongue weight of a trailer should be what percent of the gross trailer weight rating
mario62 [17]

Answer:

between 10 and 15 percent

Explanation:

How to put your load

- First load the heavy

The safe trailer starts loading correctly. Uneven weight can affect steering, brakes and swing control.

In general, 60% of the weight of the load should be in the front half of the trailer and 40% in the rear half (unless the manufacturer indicates something different). When you place the load, you want it to be balanced from side to side, keeping the center of gravity near the ground and on the axle of the trailer.

-  Hold your load

After balancing the load, you must hold it in place. An untapped load can move when the vehicle is moving and cause trailer instability.

- Trailer weight

To avoid overloading the trailer, look for the recommended weight rating. It is located on the VIN plate in the trailer chassis, usually on the tongue. Confirm the Gross Vehicle Weight Classification (GVWR) before towing.

GVWR: is the total weight that the trailer can support, including its weight. You can also find this number as the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). The weight of the tongue should be 10-15% of the GTW.
