Why is temperature scalar?

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]2 years ago

Temperature is just a measure of how HOT or COLD a substance is, which can be easily defined by a magnitude using a numerical value say “300 K” or “27°C”. Hence we can say it is a scalar quantity.

But the energy which transfer by virtue of a temperature difference is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction of motion (from High temperature to low temperature region).

An object is thrown from the ground with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. What is the velocity at the point 25 m above the ground?
dsp73

Answer:

It's a pretty simple suvat linear projectile motion question, using the following equation and plugging in your values it's a pretty trivial calculation.

V^2=U^2+2*a*x

V=0 (as it is at max height)

U=30ms^-1 (initial speed)

a=-g /-9.8ms^-2 (as it is moving against gravity)

x is the variable you want to calculate (height)

0=30^2+2*(-9.8)*x

x=-30^2/2*-9.8

x=45.92m

Hannah walks 0.30 km to class in 5.0 min. what is her average speed in m/s?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1.0 m/s

Explanation:

First, convert to SI units.

0.30 km × (1000 m / km) = 300 m

5.0 min × (60 s / min) = 300 s

Speed is distance divided by time:

300 m / 300 s = 1.0 m/s

Objects change motion due to forces. When they become unbalanced, their motion changes, while balanced forces cause constant mot
Neko [114]

Answer:

Balanced forces: When a number of forces acting on a body do not cause any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line then the forces are said to be balanced forces. In other words, a body is said to be underbalanced forced when the resulting force acting on the body is zero.

The balanced forces:

⋅ Cannot set any stationary body into motion.

⋅ May change the shape and size of soft objects.

⋅ Cannot change the speed/velocity of a moving body.

Unbalanced forces:

When the resultant of all the forces acting on a body is not zero, then forces are called unbalanced forces.

Example:

⋅ Game of tug of war: When the forces exerted by both the teams are equal, then the rope does not move. But, if the force applied by team A is greater than team B, then the rope, as well as members of the weaker team, i.e., B, will be pulled towards A. The unbalanced force can (a) Set a stationary body in motion.

⋅ Set a moving body at rest.

⋅ Change the direction of motion.

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 362 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

s = 0.9689 m

Explanation:

given,

Height of fall of paratroopers = 362 m

speed of impact = 52 m/s

mass of paratrooper = 86 Kg

From from snow on him = 1.2 ✕ 10⁵ N

now using formula

F = m a

a = F/m

a = \dfrac{1.2 \times 10^5}{86}

a =1395.35\ m/s^2

Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

s =\dfrac{v^2}{2a}

s =\dfrac{52^2}{2\times 1395.35}

s = 0.9689 m

The minimum depth of snow that would have stooped him is  s = 0.9689 m
