A scalar quantity is a magnitude without direction. So time is the scalar quantity as time only contains a magnitude and not a direction.

Option (d) is correct. Time is considered as a scalar quantity.

Explanation:

The physical quantities are expressed in two broad categories.

Scalar Quantities
Vector Quantities

The Scalar Quantities are the quantities that require only the magnitude for the representation of the physical quantity. The quantity that include only the magnitude in their representation are the distance, speed etc.

The Vector Quantities are the quantities that require the magnitude as well as the direction for the representation of the quantity. The unit such as the displacement, velocity, force etc of a body are the vector quantities.

The displacement of a body is defined as the distance between the initial and final point of the body in a particular direction. The velocity of a body is defined as the change of change of displacement of the body in a particular direction. Since both displacement and velocity involve the direction, they are not scalar quantity.

The momentum of a body is defined as the product of the velocity and mass of the body. Therefore, momentum is also a vector quantity.

The time does not require any direction for its representation. So, it is considered as a scalar quantity.

Thus, Option (d) is correct. Time is considered as a scalar quantity.

Answer:

Disruption to electricity power grid

Explanation:

We're looking a a solar flare. This will whip solar particles at high velocity into space and, If they are near earth, will interact with the earth's magnetic field. These magnetic changes will be measurable in the electric grid. Whether they are strong enough to cause "disruption" depends on a huge number of factors such as strength of and angles of the interacting magnetic fields and location of grid infrastructure,

Two blocks with masses 1 and 2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown. 1 has a mass of 2

Bess [88]

Answer:

The acceleration of $M_2$ is $a = 0.7156 m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of first block is $M_1 = 2.25 \ kg$

The angle of inclination of first block is $\theta _1 = 43.5^o$

The coefficient of kinetic friction of the first block is $\mu_1 = 0.205$

The mass of the second block is $M_2 = 5.45 \ kg$

The angle of inclination of the second block is $\theta _2 = 32.5^o$

The coefficient of kinetic friction of the second block is $\mu _2 = 0.105$

The acceleration of $M_1 \ and\ M_2$ are same

The force acting on the mass $M_1$ is mathematically represented as

$F_1 = T - M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1$

=> $M_1 a = T - M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1$

Where T is the tension on the rope

The force acting on the mass $M_2$ is mathematically represented as

$F_2 = M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2$

$M_2 a = M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2$

At equilibrium

$F_1 = F_2$

$T - M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1 =M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2$

making a the subject of the formula

$a = \frac{M_2 g sin \theta_2 - M_1 g sin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1g cos \theta - \mu_2 M_2 g cos \theta_2 }{M_1 +M_2}$

substituting values $a = \frac{(5.45) (9.8) sin (32.5) - (2.25) (9.8) sin (43.5) - (0.205)*(2.25) *9.8cos (43.5) - (0.105)*(5.45) *(9.8) cos(32.5) }{2.25 +5.45}$

=> $a = 0.7156 m/s^2$

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

C) is zero

Explanation:

According to the law of energy conservation, the total mechanical energy of the object is conserved. A book falling a distance d would have a change in potential energy, resulting in the same change in kinetic energy. But the total mechanical energy must be the same. So there's 0 change in total energy of the system.

A train starting from rest picks up a speed of 20 m/s in 20 s while travelling on a straight path. It continues to move at the s

Andrej [43]

Answer:

$1300 m$

Explanation:

As the path is straight, so the speed is equivalent to velocity. Now. assuming that the acceleration and deceleration of the train are constant. So, change of velocity with respect to time for acceleration as well as deceleration is constant. Hence, the slope of the speed-time graph is constant for the time of acceleration as well as deceleration. The speed for the time from $20 s$ to $70 s$ is constant, so slope for this interval of time is zero. The speed-time graph is shown in the figure.
