Scalar quantity are physical quantities that have just magnitude, not direction.

It is always positive.
Examples: Speed, distance

A ski starts from rest and slides down a 22 incline 75 m long. if the coefficient of friction is 0.090, what is the ski's speed

miskamm [114]

L = length of the incline = 75 m

θ = angle of incline = 22 deg

h = height of skier at the top of incline = L Sinθ = (75) Sin22 = 28.1 m

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.090

N = normal force by the surface of incline

mg Cosθ = Component of weight of skier normal to the surface of incline opposite to normal force N

normal force "N" balances the component of weight opposite to it hence we get

N = mg Cosθ

frictional force acting on the skier is given as

f = μN

f = μmg Cosθ

v = speed of skier at the bottom of incline

Using conservation of energy

potential energy at the top of incline = kinetic energy at the bottom + work done by frictional force

mgh = f L + (0.5) m v²

mgh = μmg Cosθ L + (0.5) m v²

gh = μg Cosθ L + (0.5) v²

(9.8 x 28.1) = (0.09 x 9.8 x 75) Cos22 + (0.5) v²

v = 20.7 m/s

A large rock is weathered into tiny pieces which add up the weight of the original rock this demonstrates the conversion of ____

stich3 [128]

When a large rock is weathered into tiny pieces which add up the weight of the original rock, this demonstrates the law of conservation of matter.

According to this law the mass of an object doesn't change with time and also it does not depends on how the particles are arranged themselves.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

By what factor would your weight increase if you could stand on the sun? (never mind that you can't.)

Fofino [41]

Gravity on the surface of sun is given as

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

here we know that

$M = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg$

$R = 6.95 \times 10^8 m$

now we will have

$g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(1.98 \times 10^30)}{(6.95 \times 10^8)^2}$

$g = 273.4 m/s^2$

now we need to find the ratio of weight on surface of sun and on surface of Earth

$R = \frac{mg_{sun}}{mg_{earth}}$

$R = \frac{273.4}{9.8} = 28 times$

so weight will increase by 28 times

I shared a picture of the problem. It’s a basic Physics question and an Algebra question.

julia-pushkina [17]

Hence the expression of ω in terms of m and k is

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}$

Given the expressions;

$T_s = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \ and \ T_s = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

Equating both expressions we will have;

$2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

Divide both equations by 2π

$\frac{2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{2 \pi} } }{2 \pi}=\frac{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} }{2\pi}\\\sqrt{\frac{m}{2 \pi} } = \frac{1}{\omega}\\$

Square both sides

$(\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } )^2 = (\frac{1}{\omega} )^2\\\frac{m}{k} = \frac{1}{\omega ^2} \\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m}$

Take the square root of both sides

$\sqrt{\omega ^2} =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}$

Hence the expression of ω in terms of m and k is

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}$

How does the ocean play an important role in climate and climate change? Keep answer related to the specific heat capacity of wa

nata0808 [166]

One way that the world's ocean affects weather and climate is by playing an important role in keeping our planet warm. ... The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation.
