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.

What is know as law of inertia?

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

mark me brianliest plz

Explanation:

Law of inertia, also called Newton's first law, postulate in physics that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.
Law of Inertia states that a body in a state of rest or uniform motion remains in the same state until and unless an external force acts on it.
A body continues to be in its state of rest or in uniform motion along a straight line unless an external force is applied on it. This law is also called law of inertia.

A 39-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder is being pulled away from the wall at the rate

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the area when the bottom of the ladder (denoted by $b$ ) is at 36 ft. from the wall is the following:

$\frac{dA}{dt}|_{b=36}=-571.2\, ft^2/s$

Explanation:

The Area of the triangle is given by $A=h\times b$ where $h=\sqrt{l^2-b^2}$ (by using the Pythagoras' Theorem) and $b$ is the length of the base of the triangle or the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall.

The area is then

$A=\sqrt{l^2-b^2}b$

The rate of change of the area is given by its time derivative

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\cdot b\right)$

$\implies \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\right)\cdot b+\frac{db}{dt}\cdot\sqrt{l^2-b^2}$

$\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\frac{d}{dt}(l^2-b^2)\cdot b+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}$ Product rule

$\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot 2\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}$ Chain rule

$\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}$

$\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{db}{dt}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\right)$

In here we can identify $b=36\, ft$ , $l=39$ and $\frac{db}{dt}=8\,ft/s$ .

The result is then

$\frac{dA}{dt}=8\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\cdot 36^2+\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\right)=-571.2\, ft^2/s$

<h3>What is Quadratic equation ?</h3>

A quadratic equation as an equation of degree 2, meaning that the highest exponent of this function is 2. The standard form of a quadratic equation is y = a $x^{2}$ + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers and a cannot be 0

P(A) = 0.006 $a^{2}$ - 0.02a + 120

123 = 0.006- 0.02a + 120

0=0.006 $a^{2}$ - 0.02a - 3

you can use the quadratic equation formula to solve for the man's age.

A = (-b ± ( $\sqrt{b^{2} - 4*a*c}$ ) ) / (2a)

A = (0.02 ± $\sqrt{(-0.02)^{2} - 4*0.006*(-3)}$ / (2*0.006)

A = (0.02 ± $\sqrt{0.0076}$ ) / 0.012

A = 9 , -5.67

Age of the man will be 9 years

Answer:

1) Skid

2) Rocking

3) Oversteer situation

4) Controlled breaking

5) Overdriving headlights

6) Hydroplaning

7) Understeer situation

Explanation:

1) A skid results when a vehicle loses part or all of its grip on the road

2) Rocking is a technique that can be applied when trying to move your vehicle out of deep snow

3) The action of vehicle's rear end sliding out to a side is called an oversteer situation

4) Controlled breaking is a technique of reducing your speed as quick as possible while maintaining control of your vehicle

5) Driving at a speed where the stopping distance of your vehicle is longer than the distance you can see with your headlights is called overdriving headlights

6) Hydroplaning occurs when a tire loses road surface contact and rises on top of water

7) It is an understeer situation when your front tires begin to plow and your vehicle is not responding or not responding as quickly as it should, to a steering point
