A vector is a quantity with D. A quantity with magnitude and direction

Explanation:

There are two types of quantity in physics:

- Scalar: a scalar quantity is a quantity having a magnitude only. Examples of scalar quantities are:

Distance

Speed

Time

Energy

...

- Vector: a vector quantity is a quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. This means that it is not enough to specify what is the magnitude of the quantity (the number), but we also need to specify its direction.

Examples of vector quantities are:

Displacement

Velocity

Acceleration

Force

....

So, the correct answer is

D. A quantity with magnitude and direction

An 8 kg mass moving at 8 m/s collides with a 6 kg mass

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(8 kg)(8 m/s) + (6 kg)(6 m/s) = (8 kg)(5 m/s) + (6 kg) v

64 kg m/s + 36 kg m/s = 40 kg m/s + (6 kg) v

60 kg m/s = (6 kg) v

v = 10 m/s

In a $100$ meter track event, Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds before Beatrice does. If it

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

If it took Beatrice 25 seconds to complete the race

Distance = 100 meter

Beatrice speed = 100/25

= 4m/s

If Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds, she must have completed the race in 20s (25 -5).

Her speed where constant

= 100/20

= 5 m/s

It would take Alice

= 50/5

= 10s

It would take Alice 10s to run $50$ meters.

g a horizontal wheel of radius is rotating about a vertical axis. What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration of a bug t

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a = w² r

Explanation:

In this exercise, indicate that the wheel has angular velocity w, the worm experiences the same angular velocity if it does not move, and has an acceleration towards the center of the circle, according to Newton's second law, called the centripetal acceleration.

a = v² / r

angular and linear variables are related

v = w r

we substitute

a = w² r

where r is the radius of the wheel
