Density is the ratio of an object’s mass to its volume. would you expect density to be a vector or a scalar quantity? explain.

1 answer:

4 0

Vectors are quantities described by a number and a direction, thus giving them a line value. these include acceleration, velocity and weight
Scalar quantities only have a magnitude and include things like volume, distance and temperature. Because density uses volume and mass, it is considered a scalar.

Range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object. Please select the best answer from the

Based on the given statement above, the correct answer would be FALSE. It is not true that range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object because range of motion or ROM is the distance--linear or angular--that a movable object may normally travel while properly ATTACHED (not separated) to another. Hope this answer helps.

A silver wire has a cross sectional area a = 2.0 mm2. a total of 9.4 × 1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3.0 s. the conduc

marta [7]

This problem uses the relationships among current I, current density J, and drift speed vd. We are given the total of electrons that pass through the wire in t = 3s and the area A, so we use the following equation to to find vd, from J and the known electron density n, so:

$v_{d} = \frac{J}{n\left | q \right |}$

The current I is any motion of charge from one region to another, so this is given by:

 $I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{9.4x1018electrons}{3s} = 3189.73(A)$

The magnitude of the current density is:

$J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{3189.73}{2x10^{-6}} = 1594.86(A/m^{2})$

Being:

$A=2mm^{2} = 2x10^{-6}m^{2}$

Finally, for the drift velocity magnitude vd, we find:

 $v_{d} = \frac{1594.86}{5.8x1028\left |1.60x10^{-19}|\right } = 1.67x10^{18}(m/s)$

Notice: The current I is very high for this wire. The given values of the variables are a little bit odd

Answer:

A. The melting of ice is both a desirable and undesirable change because, ice is needed to melt so as to make liquid water available for animal and plant use and consumption and also to release the energy used in the fusion process of ice formation. Melting of ice is undesirable because melting ice liberate water slowly, and the water liberated can erode surface soil. Melting ice reduces the available heat sink on earth and also reduces the available stored up fresh water supply on earth.

B. The appearance of hailey comet once every 72 year is a periodic change because it's motion around the solar system is repeated with time. The reason for this highly elliptical and eccentric path of motion is largely due to the gravitational effect of the sun and the planets on the comet.
