Answer:

Magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

There are two types of physical quantity first one is vector and other is scalar.

Vectors are those physical quantities that have both magnitude as well as direction. Scalars are that type of physical quantities having only magnitude.

Some of the examples of vector quantities are velocity, acceleration, force etc.

So, in order to be considered a vector, a quantity must include its magnitude as direction.

Is gravity a force ?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Gravity ( gravity , weight, traction force) is the force acting on any body on or near the surface of the celestial body directed at its center. Gravity, that is, the force with which the earth , moon , planets, and other celestial bodies or their systems act on other bodies, is theoretically exercised at any distance, but is practically examined on the surface of these bodies as well as at short distances.

Unless indicated otherwise, assume the speed of sound in air to be v = 344 m/s. A stationary police car emits a sound of frequen

bixtya [17]

Answer:

a) The velocity of the car is 7.02 m/s and the car is approaching to the police car as the frequency of the police car is increasing.

b) The frequency is 1404.08 Hz

Explanation:

If the police car is a stationary source, the frequency is:

$f_{a} =(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v} )f_{s}$ (eq. 1)

fs = frequency of police car = 1200 Hz

fa = frequency of moving car as listener

v = speed of sound of air

vc = speed of moving car

If the police car is a stationary observer, the frequency is:

$f_{L} =f_{a} (\frac{v}{v-v_{c} } )=(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )f_{s}$ (eq. 2)

Now,

fL = frequecy police car receives

fs = frequency police car as observer

a) The velocity of car is from eq. 2:

$1250=1200(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )\\1250(v-v_{c} )=1200(v+v_{c} )\\v_{c} =\frac{50*344}{2450} =7.02m/s$

b) Substitute eq. 1 in eq. 2:

$f_{L} =(\frac{v+v_{p} }{v-v_{c} } )(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{p} } )f_{s} =(\frac{344+20}{344-7.02} )(\frac{344+7.02}{344-20} )*1200=1404.08Hz$

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.
