What is a scalar quantity?

Physics
1 answer:
lukranit [14]3 years ago

A scalar or scalar quantity in physics is a physical quantity that can be described by a single element of a number field such as a real number, often accompanied by units of measurement. A scalar is usually said to be a physical quantity that only has magnitude and no other characteristics.

What signs could indicate that you are pushing your body too far?
dem82 [27]

Answer:It's important to listen to your body and what it's really saying. Don't listen, and your exercise could wind up working against you, actually triggering muscle loss and fat gain. Plus, pushing too hard comes with a huge risk of injury-and all of your training won't do you much good if you're sidelined on race day.

A hockey puck oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal track while attached to a horizontal spring. The puck has mass 0.160 kg a
marshall27 [118]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     mass (m) = 0.160 kg,            spring constant (k) = 8 n/m,

     Maximum speed (v_{m}) = 0.350 m/s

Formula for angular frequency is as follows.

          \omega = \sqrt{\frac{{k}{m}}

    \omega = \sqrt{\frac{{8}{0.160}}

    \omega = 7.07 rad/sec

(a) Formula to calculate the amplitude is as follows.

            \nu_{max} = A \omega

                  A = \frac{\nu}{\omega}

                      = \frac{0.35}{7.07}

                      = 0.05 m

Hence, value of amplitude is 0.05 m.

(b)   Displacement = 0.030 m

Formula for mechanical energy is as follows.

            M.E = \frac{1}{2}kA^{2}

Putting the values into the above formula as follows.

            M.E = \frac{1}{2}kA^{2}

                   = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times (0.05)^{2}

                   = 9.8 \times 10^{-3} Joule

For x = 0.03,

As,     P.E = \frac{1}{2} \times kx^{2}

                = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times (0.03)

                = 3.6 \times 10^{-3}

Hence, calculate the kinetic energy as follows.

            K.E = M.E - P.E

                  = (9.8 \times 10^{-3} - 3.6 \times 10^{-3}) J

                  = 6.2 \times 10^{-3} J

Thus, we can conclude that kinetic energy of the puck when the displacement of the glider is 0.0300 m is 6.2 \times 10^{-3} J.

The graph is tied to the reading
AleksandrR [38]
I. Positive acceleration increases velocity. Negative acceleration decreases velocity. runner A sped up until the finish line and then slowed to a stop.

ii. Zero a acceleration implies a constant, unchanging velocity not a zero velocity. runner B achieved some velocity prior to 8s and is moving and must slow down to reach a stop.

iii. None. No aspects of this reasoning are correct. Everything she says is wrong. See iv for what/why.

iv. The sign on acceleration denotes the direction of *change in velocity* not change in direction. The sign on velocity can denote change in direction but only “forward” or “reverse” along a particular path. Cardinal direction is not indicated, generally, by the sign on velocity. It may correspond to North/South situationally but it is not an built-in feature of velocity and its sign. For example, if you are traveling with positive velocity and turn left to continue your journey you still have a positive velocity in the new direction. In fact, if you turn left again, traveling in the opposite direction as the one you started with your velocity would still be positive… in the new direction. The velocity relative to original direction could be said to be negative but that would be a confusing way to describe a journey. Maybe if you stopped the vehicle and moved in reverse, you could meaningfully say velocity was negative.
