Which of the following is a scalar quantity?

Physics
1 answer:
makvit [3.9K]3 years ago
4 0

The only scalar quantity is a. 35 m

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantiy is a quantity having only a magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Speed

Energy

Distance

Time

- Vector: a vector quantity is quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Velocity

Force

Acceleration

Displacement

Let's now analyze each given option, to evaluate if it is a scalar or a vector:

a. 35m  --> it is only a unit (no direction), so it is a scalar

b. 20 m to the right  --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

c. 30 m to the North --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

So, the only correct option is a).

Section 2.2
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Speed changes at the rate of 24 m/s for each second over time.

Explanation:

We are told the object's acceleration is equal to 24 m/s²

Now we know that acceleration can also be defined as the rate of change of speed with time. Also speed has a unit known as m/s.

Thus, we can rephrase the acceleration in this question to mean;

Speed changes at the rate of 24 m/s for every second with time.

In a certain region of space, the electric field is zero. from this fact, what can you conclude about the electric potential in
eduard
The answer is that it is constant. The relation between electric field and electric potential is given as, E=  -gradient (V).  The E, the partial rate of change of Electric potential, in the equation implies that the V, the partial differential of the potential of the three-dimensional space (assuming it is considered) is constant.

5. If one object has a greater speed than a second object. does the first necessarily have a greater acceleration? Explain, usin
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

5. not necessarily so that the first object could have left with initial velocity and the second not, so even if the second has a greater acceleration its velocity is less than that of the first

6. The acceleration of the motorcycle is

     SI System Reductions

     Vo = 80 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 22.2 m / s

     Vf = 90 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 25 m / s

     Vf = Vo + at at = Vf-Vo

     am = (Vf-Vo) / t

     am = (25 -22.2) / t = 2.8 / t

      am= 2.8/t

For the bike we have

      Vf = 10 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 2.78 m / s

      Vo = 0

      ab = (Vf -Vo) / t

      ab = (2.78 -0) / t

      ab = 2.8/t

Since time is the same for both of us, if we round to Significant figures the two accelerations are equal

7. If when an object is slowing or slowing down.

     For example, a car goes north and must stop at the traffic light, the acceleration of the brakes goes south

8. Yes, since an object can go to the left and the acceleration to the right, but the object will lose speed over time

9. in the launch of projectiles the acceleration is negative and the speed after half the path is also negative

10. Car B must be moving to car A, because if they leave together B has more acceleration, bone that travels the distance at the same time

11. When we have friction, the velocity of an object increases by an external force, but the friction also increases the acceleration, but since it is positive, the velocity increases until the acceleration is zero and hence the velocity remains constant.
