Answer:

Vector Quantities Increase/Decrease in Temperature - The measurement of the medium's temperature is a scalar quantity; the measurement of the increase or decrease in the medium's temperature is a vector quantity. Velocity - The measurement of the rate at which an object changes position is a vector quantity.

Which of the four fundamental forces is responsible for holding together the molecules of the pizza dough as it is spinning in t
defon

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

Molecules are formed by an element's need or excess of electrons. For example, in nature oxygen generally exists as 02. Other molecules are formed via chemical reaction. The example here is the burning of gasoline. Gasoline's two main byproducts are water and carbon dioxide.

Hydrogen as an atom has one electron making it unstable. Put a second hydrogen atom next to the first and the two atoms will share electrons to fill the first energy level the atom needs to be stable.

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 54.0 s. The
timama [110]

Answer:

a) f=0.1 Hz ; b) T=10s

c)λ= 36m

d)v=3.6m/s

e)amplitude, cannot be determined

Explanation:

Complete question is:

Determine, if possible, the wave's (a) frequency, (b) period, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude.

Given:

number of wave crests 'n'= 5

pass in a time't' 54.0s

distance between two successive crests 'd'= 36m

a) Frequency of the waves 'f' can be determined by dividing number of wave crests with time, so we have

f=n/t

f= 5/ 54 => 0.1Hz

b)The time period of wave 'T' is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore,

T=1/f

T=1/0.1

T=10 sec.

c)wavelength'λ' is the distance between two successive crests i.e 36m

Therefore, λ= 36m

d) speed of the wave 'v' can be determined by the product of frequency and wavelength

v= fλ => 0.1 x 36

v=3.6m/s

e) For amplitude, no data is given in this question. So, it cannot be determined.

Kai swims for the school swim team. He specializes in a backstroke event where he has to swim the 50 m length of the pool three
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Displacement is 50 m

Explanation:

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled.

Thus, since he swims the 50m length pool 3 times, then the total distance = 50 × 3 = 150 m

Whereas, displacement is the measurement of length of the shortest path from initial point to final point.

In this case initial point to final point is 50m. Thus, the displacement is 50 m

what is the major cause of the earth’s magnetic field? the earth’s liquid outer core the earth’s liquid outer core the earth’s m
GaryK [48]

The earth's liquid outer core is the major cause of the earth’s magnetic field.

<h3>What is magnetic field?</h3>

The magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials is described by a magnetic field, a vector field. A force acting on a charge while it travels through a magnetic field is perpendicular to both the charge's motion and the magnetic field. The magnetic field of a permanent magnet attracts or repels other magnets as well as ferromagnetic elements like iron. A magnetic field that varies with location will also exert a force on a variety of non-magnetic materials by changing the velocity of those particles' outer electrons. Electric currents, like those utilised in electromagnets, and electric fields that change over time produce magnetic fields that surround magnetised things.
