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?
A baseball would hit the bat harder. This is because the baseball is a lot heavier and more dense than the plastic ball. The keyword that you're looking for is density. The baseball is dense.
If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:
Fg=Fcp
m*g=m*(v²/R),
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite.
Masses cancel out and we have:
G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:
G*(M/r)=v²
r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,
r=G*(M/ω²r²),
r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:
r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:
r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.
