Answer:

Area is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A vector quantity has both magnitudes as well as direction. On the other hand a scalar quantity has only magnitude.

Out of given options,

Volume and mass is a scalar quantity because they don't have directions. While area can be taken as a vector quantity. The direction of area vector of a surface is along perpendicular to the surface.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$ where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

$r=e^u$

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\$

Here

$r=e^u\\r=e^{\pi/4}\\r=2.1932 m$

$r'=e^u.u'\\r'=2.1932 \times 2\\r'=4.3864 m$

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\a_{\theta}=(2.1932\times 4+2\times 4.3864 \times 2)\\a_{\theta}=26.32 m/s\\$

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$

The radial component is given as

$a_r=r''-r\theta'^2$

Here

$r''=e^u.u'^2+e^u u''\\r''=2.1932 \times (2)^2+2.1932\times 4\\r''=17.5456 m$

$a_r=r''-ru'^2\\a_r=17.5456-2.1932\times (2)^2\\a_r=8.7728 m/s^2$

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$

Constant Acceleration Kinematics: Car A is traveling at 22.0 m/s and car B at 29.0 m/s. Car A is 300 m behind car B when the dri

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The taken is $t_A = 19.0 \ s$

Explanation:

Frm the question we are told that

The speed of car A is $v_A = 22 \ m/s$

The speed of car B is $v_B = 29.0 \ m/s$

The distance of car B from A is $d = 300 \ m$

The acceleration of car A is $a_A = 2.40 \ m/s^2$

For A to overtake B

The distance traveled by car B = The distance traveled by car A - 300m

Now the this distance traveled by car B before it is overtaken by A is

$d = v_B * t_A$

Where $t_B$ is the time taken by car B

Now this can also be represented as using equation of motion as

$d = v_A t_A + \frac{1}{2}a_A t_A^2 - 300$

Now substituting values

$d = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

Equating the both d

$v_B * t_A = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

substituting values

$29 * t_A = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

$7 t_A = \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

$7 t_A =1.2 t_A^2 - 300$

$1.2 t_A^2 - 7 t_A - 300 = 0$

Solving this using quadratic formula we have that

$t_A = 19.0 \ s$

The y-position of a damped oscillator as a function of time is shown in the figure.

NISA [10]

(1) The period of the oscillator is 1 second.

(2) The damping coefficient is 0.93.

<h3>What is period of oscillation?</h3>

The period of oscillation is the time taken to make one complete cycle.

From the graph, the time taken to make one complete oscillation is 1 second.

<h3>Damping coefficient</h3>

equation of the wave is given as;

y(t) = Ae^(-btx) cos(ωt)

3.5 = Ae^(-0) cos(0)

3.5 = A x 1

A = 3.5 cm

-3 = 3.5e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-3/3.5 = e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-0.857 = e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-0.857 / cos(ω) = e^(-bx)

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] = -bx

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] / b = - x ---- (1)

-2 = 3.5e^(-2bx) cos(2ω)

-0.57 = e^(-2bx) cos(2ω)

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)] = -2bx

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)] /2b = - x ------(2)

solve (1) and (2)

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)]/2b = ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] /b

-0.57 / cos(ω) = 2(-0.857 / cos(ω))

2(-0.857/cosω) = -0.57/cos2ω

-(2 x 0.857) / (-0.57) = cosω/cos 2ω

3 = cosω/cos 2ω

3(cos 2ω) = cosω

3(2cos²ω - 1) = cos ω

6cos²ω - 6 = cosω

6cos²ω - cosω - 6 = 0

let cosω = y

6y² - y - 6 = 0

solve the quadratic equation;

y = 1.1 or -0.92

cosω = -0.92

ω = arc cos(-0.92)

ω = 2.74 rad/s

From equation (1)

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] / x = -b ---- (1)

let x = 1

ln(-0.857/cos(2.74) = -b

-0.93 = -b

b = 0.93

Thus, the damping coefficient is 0.93.
