Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.
Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

A 40kg rock falls off a cliff that is 50 meters high. How fast is the speed of the rock when it hits the ground
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

31.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 40kg

Height of cliff = 50m

Unknown:

Speed of rock when it hits ground = ?

Solution:

We are going to use the appropriate motion equation to solve this problem

The rock is falling with the aid of gravitational force. The force is causing it to accelerate with an amount of velocity.

  Using;

                      V²  = U² + 2gH

V = unknown velocity

U = initial velocity = O

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H = height of fall

since the initial velocity of the bodyg is 0

     V²  = 2gH

    V= √2gH = √2 x 9.8 x 50 = 31.3m/s

You have 0.5 l of air at a pressure of 203 kpa and -70°c in a rigid, sealed contaainer. what is the absolute tempertaure of the
ANTONII [103]
From the information given and if the question is complete then;
Absolute temperature is the temperature in Kelvin
To convert degree Celsius to kelvin we normally add 273
that is Kelvin = deg Celsius + 273
Thus since we have been given that the air was at -70 degrees celcius;
then; - 70° C  + 273 = 203 K
 Therefore; the absolute temperature is 203 K

PART A:
olga55 [171]

Answer:

4 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.

The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.

Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;

20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;

Acceleration = \frac{20}{5} which gives 4.

Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.

         LHS means Left Hand Side.
