Answer:

141.14098 secs

Explanation:

Time taken to see the lightning flash can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(3 * 10^8)

Time = 0.0001567 secs

Time taken to hear the thunder can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(333)

Time = 141.14114 secs

The time lapse between the lightning flash and the thunder will be:

141.14114 - 0. 0001567

= 141.14098 secs

While performing an experiment, the student creating the data table is not sure if a measurement from the experiment is a vector
marin [14]

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?
