Scalar quantity are physical quantities that have just magnitude, not direction.
- It is always positive.
- Examples: Speed, distance
Answer:
8 N North.
Explanation:
Given that,
One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.
We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the object.
Let North is positive and South is negative.
Net force,
F = 10 N +(-2 N)
= 8 N
So, the magnitude of net force on the object is 8 N and it is in North direction (as it is positive). Hence, the correct option is (d) "8N north".
consider east-west direction along X-axis and north-south direction along Y-axis
= velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s
(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)
= velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s
(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)
= velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?
using the equation
= +
= 12 j + 6.3 i
= 6.3 i + 12 j
magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s
direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east
The friend who has the greater displacement is the one who takes the longest path.
<h3>What is displacement?</h3>
The displacement is the shortest distance travelled by the particle. It is the vector quantity which re[presents both the magnitude and direction.
Given, two friends leave a movie theater and take different buses to the same ice cream shop. One bus takes a longer route driving on a high-speed highway, while the other takes a shorter route on lower-speed local roads.
According to the definition. the displacement is neither larger not shorter but it is the shortest distance traveled by the person or particle.
Thus, friend who has longer path has larger displacement.
