Answer:

Area

Explanation:

Scalar quantity is the quantity which has only magnitude. It does not have any direction.

The examples of the scalar quantity are mass, work done, etc.

Acceleration, displacement, force and velocity have both direction and magnitude. They are not scalar quantities, they are vector quantities.

<u>Hence, the one which is a scalar quantity is area.</u>

'Area' is the scalar quantity on that particular list.

A crew team rows a boat at a rate of 20 km/h in still water. Beginning at time = 0 minutes, the team rows for 30 minutes up a ri

umka21 [38]

Since they are rowing against the current, their velocity realtive to the groud is 20-1.5 = 18.5km/h
So the distance travelled is 18.5km/h*0.5h = 9.25km
Going back with the current their ground realative velocity is 20+1.5 = 21.5km/h so the time it takes them to return 9.25 km is 9.25km/(21.5km/h) = 0.43h ~= 26 min

Alcohol of mass 21g and density 0.7gcm-3 is mixed with 10g of water. Determine the density

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

0.775 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the alcohol = 21 g

The density of the of the alcohol = 0.7 g/cm³

The mass of water with whichit is mixed = 10 g

The density of water = 1.0 g/cm³

Therefore, the mass of the mixture, m = 21 g + 10 g = 31 g

Volume = Mass/Density

The volume of the alcohol = 21 g/(0.7 g/cm³) = 30 cm³

The volume of the water = 10 g/(1.0 g/cm³) = 10 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the mixture, V = 30 cm³ + 10 cm³ = 40 cm³

The density of the mixture, ρ = (Mass, m)/(Volume, V) = m/V

∴ ρ = (31 g)/(40 cm³) = 0.775 g/cm³

The density of the mixture, ρ = 0.775 g/cm³.

olchik [2.2K]

The answer is A.
Sy = 1650 x sin30.5 = 837.4 m toward south
Sx = 1650 x cos30.5 = 1421.7 m toward east

if you relate the Doppler effect on sound to the color of light waves, a police car would be the color (A.yellow B.red C.green D

klio [65]

The Doppler effect says that the observed wavelength is shortened

when the source is approaching the observer, and lengthened when

the source is receding from the observer.

All we can say about the police car and its siren is that the sound/color

has a shorter wavelength as it approaches us, and a longer wavelength

as it recedes.

Any of these pairs of answers would say that:

A -- A

C -- A

D -- A

D -- D

For each of these pairs, the second wavelength is longer than the first one.

(We don't know which pair is the actual one, because we don't know the actual color of the police car.)

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.

$P = kT$

<em>where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.</em>

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.

I hope it helps you!
