or scalar. Which question should she ask to determine if a measurement is a vector or a scalar?
A) Is the measurement a rate?

B) Is the measurement in metric units?

C) Does the measurement include direction?

D) Does the measurement include magnitude?

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand both scalar and vector .

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specification.

A vector quantity is that physical quantity which not only requires magnitude but also possesses direction for it's complete specification.

So the most important factor that differentiate vector from scalar is the direction.

As per the question the student is doing an experiment where he is recording the data obtained during the process.

In order to arrange them in data table, he should ask about the direction of the quantity under consideration.


Hence the correct option is the third option(C)i.e does the measurement include direction?

Answer:

<em>Answer: B. 49 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force </u>

When an object is at rest on a rough surface, it encounters a friction force that opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu_k N

Where \mu_k is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force.  

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

Thus, the friction force is:

Fr=\mu_k W

We are given the coefficient of static friction \mu_k=0.5 and the mass of the object m=10 Kg. The minimum force needed to make it start moving is the maximum friction force:

Fr=0.5*10*9.8

Fr = 49 N

All forms of matter are comprised of atoms. Wind in itself is the movement of particles(air). Wind does not have particles since it is an action and not a form of matter.

Schach [20]

Complete Question

Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approximately 57.0 m . If the track is completely flat and the race car is traveling at a constant 30.5 m/s (about 68 mph ) around the turn.

Required:

a. What is the race car's centripetal (radial) acceleration?

b. What is the force responsible for the centripetal acceleration in this case?

O normal

O gravity

O friction

O weight

Answer:

question a

       a = 16.32 \  m/s^2

question b

        correct option is option 3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius is  r = 57.0 \ m \

    The constant speed at which the race car is travelling is v  = 30 .5 \ m/s

Generally from the question we are told that the track is completely flat so the only force pulling the car to the middle is the frictional force hence the centripetal force is due to the frictional force

    Generally the centripetal acceleration is mathematically represented as

      a = \frac{v^2}{r}

=>    a = \frac{30.5^2}{ 57}

=>    a = 16.32 \  m/s^2

Bill is farsighted and has a near point located 121 cm from his eyes. Anne is also farsighted, but her near point is 74.0 cm fro
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lens equation is

1 / f = 1 / di + 1 / do

Where

f is focal length

di is the image distance

do is the object distance

Both Annie and Billy use a glass whose near point is 25cm

Then, the object distance is

do = 25 - 2 = 23cm

The have the same object distance.

Let find the vocal length of bills eye

Given that,

Bill near point is 121cm and distance of the glass from the eye is 2cm

Then,

Image distance of bill is

di_B = -(121-2) = -119cm

object distance do = 23cm

Then,

1 / f_B = 1 / di_B + 1 / do

1 / f_B = -1 / 119 + 1 / 23

1 / f_B = -119^-1 + 23^-1

1 / f_B = 0.0351

Then, f_B = 28.51 cm

Also, let find Annie focal length

Given that,

Annie near point is 74 cm and distance of the glass from the eye is 2cm

Then,

Image distance of Annie is

di_A = -(74-2) = -72cm

object distance do = 23cm

Then,

1 / f_A = 1 / di_A + 1 / do

1 / f_A = -1 / 72 + 1 / 23

1 / f_A = -72^-1 + 23^-1

1 / f_A = 0.02959

Then, f_A = 33.8 cm

Distance of object from the lens when Annie uses Billy glass

Then,

1 / f_B = 1 / di_A + 1 / do

1 / 28.51 = -1 / 72 + 1 / do

28.51^-1 = -72^-1 + do^-1

do^-1 = 28.51^-1 + 72^-1

do^-1 = 0.048964

do = 20.42 cm

Then, the object location from the eye will be, the eye is 2cm from the glass. Then,

do_A = 20.42 + 2 = 22.42cm

do_A = 22.42 cm

Distance of object from the lens when Billy uses Annie glass

Then,

1 / f_A = 1 / di_B + 1 / do

1 / 33.8 = -1 / 119 + 1 / do

33.8^-1 = -119^-1 + do^-1

do^-1 = 33.8^-1 + 119^-1

do^-1 = 0.03799

do = 26.32 cm

Then, the object location from the eye will be, the eye is 2cm from the glass. Then,

do_B = 26.32 + 2 = 28.32 cm

do_B = 28.32 cm

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Power = 377.35 W or Power = 0.5065 hp

Explanation:

Given:

Number of steps, n = 1576

height of each step, h = 0.20 m

Total height achieved, H = nh = 1576 × 0.20 = 315.2 m

Mass of the runner, M = 70.0 kg

Total time taken, t = 9 minutes 33 seconds = (9 × 60) + 33 = 573 seconds

Now, the potential energy gained by the runner,

E = MgH

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity

on substituting the values in the above formula, we get

E = 70 × 9.8 × 315.2

or

E = 216227.2 J

also,

Energy = Power × time

therefore,

Power = Energy/time

or

Power = 216227.2 J / 573

or

Power = 377.35 W

Now,

745 watt = 1 hp

or

1 watt = 1/745 hp

thus,

Power = 377.35 W = 337.35 × (1/745) hp

or

Power = 0.5065 hp
