Probably to be more accurate. With hand-operated stop watches there is more room for (human) error.

Because they would be more accurate. And they would start and stop instantly. A human being.

A vector quantity must include both magnitude and direction. Which measurement is a vector quantity? A) the rain accumulation at

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

B)The motion of water in an ocean current

Explanation:

With respect to measurements, a vector has both a magnitude and a direction. The first three examples (maximum height of a hill, air temperature, and rain accumulation) are magnitudes only. The fourth example (motion of water in an ocean current) is a vector, because it has a magnitude (speed) and a direction (with the current).

The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the dummy.If the du

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

$F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}$
