Physics

As per the question there are two physical quantities i.e scalar quantity and vector quantity.

A scalar is a physical quantity which requires only magnitude.It does not require any direction for it's complete specification.For instance we may take distance travelled,speed etc.


Unlike a scalar quantity,a vector quantity requires both magnitude as well as direction for it's complete specifications.For instance we may take displacement which is the shortest distance between two points,the velocity which is the speed in a given direction.


Hence a vector and scalar is differentiated by direction.

As per the question,the correct option will be the third option i.e C.

Carlita is right.As per her, both vector and scalar have magnitude,but only vectors have direction which is also true.

C. Both scalar and vectors have magnitude. However, only vectors have direction.

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
katrin [286]

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

A parallel plate capacitor above has square plates 10 cm across on each side. The plates are 50 μm apart, and the electric field
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

a) ΔV = 20 V , b) Q = 35.4 10⁻⁹ C, c)  C = 1.77 10⁻⁹ F

Explanation:

a) The electric potential is

                 ΔV = E x

                 ΔV = 4.0 10⁵ 50 10⁻⁶

                  ΔV = 20 V

c) The capacity of a capacitor is

         C = ε₀  A / d

The area of ​​a square plate is

       A = L²

       A = 0.10²

       A = 0.01 m²

       L = 50mm = 50 10⁻⁶ m

Let's calculate

        C = 8.85 10⁻¹²  0.01 /50 10⁻⁶

        C = 1.77 10⁻⁹ F

b)  the charge is

             Q = C ΔV

             Q = 1.77 10⁻⁹ 20

              Q = 35.4 10⁻⁹ C

As the wavelength increases, the frequency? A. decreases and energy decreases B. increases and energy increases C. decreases and
const2013 [10]

For the same wave, the product product of

               (wavelength) times (frequency)

is always the same number.  (It happens to be the speed of the wave.)

So if one of them changes, the other one has to change in the opposite
direction, in order to keep their product constant.

For electromagnetic waves, higher frequency means higher energy.
I'm not sure about mechanical waves just now.
