Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

Suppose that at room temperature, a certain aluminum bar is 1.0000 m long. The bar gets longer when its temperature is raised. T
Deffense [45]

Answer:

0.00034 m

Explanation:

Since the length of the aluminium bar, L is given by , L = 1.0000 + 2.4 × 10⁻⁵T and T = 14.1°C, we substitute the value of T into L. So, we have L = 1.0000 + 2.4 × 10⁻⁵ × 14.1°C = 1.0000 + 0.0003384 = 1.0003384 m. The change in length is thus 1.0003384 - 1.0000 = 0.0003384 m ≅ 0.00034 m

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is   F  =  137.2 kN

The location of pressure center is  Z  = 1.333 \ m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  h =  3 \ m

     The weight of the gate is  w =  7 \  m

      The height of the water is  h_w  =  2 \ m

       The density of water is \rho_w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

Note used h_w for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

         A =  h_w  * w

substituting values

         A =  2*  7

         A =  14  \ m^2

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

          F  =  \rho_w * g * h_f * A

Where

            h_f =h-  h_w

           h_f =3 -2

           h_f = 1\ m  

So  

              F  =  1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14

            F  =  137.2 kN

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

        Z  =  h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}

Where I_g is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

            I_g =  \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}

The h_w is the height of gate immersed in water

            I_g =  \frac{7  * 2^2 }{12}

             I_g = 4.667\ kg  m^2

Thus  

        Z  = 1  + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}

        Z  = 1.333 \ m
