Why is temperature scalar?

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 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).

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 55.0 cm. She finds the pendulum m
forsale [732]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity will be g=5.718m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given length of pendulum l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

It is given that pendulum completed 100 swings in 145 sec

So time taken by pendulum for 1 swing =\frac{145}{100}=1.45sec

We have to find the acceleration due to gravity at that point

We know that time period of pendulum;um is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

So 1.45=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}

\sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}=0.230

Squaring both side

{\frac{0.3025}{g}}=0.0529

g=5.718m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity will be g=5.718m/sec^2

During a summer with little rainfall, your house on a hill slope experiences an interval during which your well runs dry. You ha
irina1246 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

You don't have water because of two possible reasons:

  1. Because of the summer and the little rain, the underwater supply goes low.
  2. The slope in the hill you live makes the underground water goes down by the effect of gravity. Imagine the underground water like a small tank, when the water is reduced for any reason the bottom of the tank will have the remaining water, while the top part will be "empty".
