Which of the following best describes a vector?

1 answer:

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>"

Scientific knowledge is generally considered to have a positive effect on society. In which situation would scientific knowledge

attashe74 [19]

Scientific knowledge itself cannot have a positive or negative impact on society per se. What can have a negative or positive impact is how this knowledge is being used.

While we all enjoy a beter life due to advancements in medicine and technology for example, this was because people decided they would put certain scientific discoveries into practice and spread them among the people.

The same thing can also be said for negative scientific discoveries. While energy produced in atomic power plants per se isn't harmful, when making an atomic bomb out of it, it can be disastrous. It was the intention of doing something evil with it that might have had a negative impact on society, not the knowledge itself.

Two satellites are orbiting earth at different altitudes. Which satellite orbits at a higher speed v around earth? Assume that t

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

a) the one with a lower orbit b) the one with a higher orbit

Explanation:

Let's consider orbital mechanics. To get an object in orbit, we need it to fall to earth parallel to the earth's surface. To understand it easily imagine a projectile thrown horizontally further and further away, at one point, the projectile hits the cannon from behind. Considering there is no wind resistance, that would be a projecile in orbit.

In other words, the circular orbits of some objects around a massive body are due to the equality between centrifugal acceleration and gravity acceleration.

$\frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{GM}{r^2}$ .

so the velocity is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }$

where "G" is the gravitational constant, "M" the mass of the massive body and "r" the distance between the object and the center of gravity of mass M. As you can note, if "r" increase, "v" decrease.

The orbital period of any object in orbit is

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^3}{GM} }$

where "a" is length of semi-major axis (a = r in circular orbits). So if "r" increase, "T" increase.
