Answer:

Scalars are quantities with only magnitude, as apposed to vectors, which have magnitude and direction

Scalars include, Distance, speed, mass, temperature, time, etc.

There is only a numerical value associated with these quantities

Vectors include, Displacement, velocity, force, acceleration, etc.

There will be both a numerical value, and a direction associated with these quantities

Scalar, a physical quantity that is completely described by its magnitude; examples of scalars are volume, density, speed, energy, mass, and time. Other quantities, such as force and velocity, have both magnitude and direction and are called vectors.

Assume that a uniform magnetic field is directed into thispage. If an electron is released with an initial velocity directedfrom

Feliz [49]

Answer:

B). to the right

Explanation:

Since the direction of magnetic field is into the page

So here we know that

$B = B_o(-\hat k)$

now the velocity is from bottom to top

so we have

$v = v_o \hat j$

now the force on the moving charge is given as

$\vec F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

now we have

$\vec F = (-e)(v_o \hat j \times B_o(-\hat k))$

$\vec F = e v_o B \hat i$

so force will be towards Right

The greatest ocean depths on the earth are found in the marianas trench near the philippines. calculate the pressure due to the

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

First, let us derive our working equation. We all know that pressure is the force exerted on an area of space. In equation, that would be: P = F/A. From Newton's Law of Second Motion, force is equal to the product of mass and gravity: F = mg. So, we can substitute F to the first equation so that it becomes, P = mg/A. Now, pressure can also be determined as the force exerted by a fluid on an area. This fluid can be measure in terms of volume. Relating volume and mass, we use the parameter of density: ρ = m/V. Simplifying further in terms of height, Volume is the product of the cross-sectional area and the height. So, V = A*h. The working equation will then be derived to be:

P = ρgh

This type of pressure is called the hydrostatic pressure, the pressure exerted by the fluid over a known height. Next, we find the literature data of the density of seawater. From studies, seawater has a density ranging from 1,020 to 1,030 kg/m³. Let's just use 1,020 kg/m³. Substituting the values and making sure that the units are consistent:

P = (1,020 kg/m³)(9.81 m/s²)(11 km)*(1,000 m/1km)
P = 110,068,200 Pa or 110.07 MPa
