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.

If you have a 1.0 m aqueous solution of NaCl, by how much will it increase the water’s boiling point, if KB = 0.512 °C/m? In oth
fgiga [73]

<u>Answer:</u> The elevation in boiling point is 1.024°C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_b=ik_b\times m

where,

i = Van't Hoff factor = 2 (for NaCl)

\Delta T_b = change in boiling point  = ?

k_b = boiling point constant = 0.512^oC/m

m = molality = 1.0 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta Tb=2\times 0.512^oC/m\times 1.0m\\\\\Delta Tb=1.024^oC

Hence, the elevation in boiling point is 1.024°C.

What is the difference between condensation and precipitation
Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

The water cycle is based on three parts;

1. Evaporation

2. Condensation

3. Participation

Condensation:

It is the process in which water vapor changes into liquid water or in other words, it is the transition from the gaseous state to liquid state.

Precipitation:

It is the process in which any liquid or frozen water such as snow that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth

Condensation depends on temperature and pressure whereas precipitation depends on the temperature and the concentration of the solution.

An airplane traveling 919 m above the ocean at 505 m/s is to drop a case of twinkies to the victims below. How much time before
Elena L [17]

Answer:

a. 13.7 s b. 6913.5 m

Explanation:

a. How much time before being directly overhead should the box be dropped?

Since the box falls under gravity we use the equation

y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of plane above ocean = 919 m, u = initial vertical velocity of airplane = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² and t = time it takes the airplane to be directly overhead.

So,

y = ut - 1/2gt²

y = 0 × t - 1/2gt²

y = 0 - 1/2gt²

y = - 1/2gt²

t² = -2y/g

t = √(-2y/g)

So, t = √(-2 × 919 m/-9.8 m/s²)

t = √(-1838 m/-9.8 m/s²)

t = √(187.551 m²/s²)

t = 13.69 s

t ≅ 13.7 s

So, the box should be dropped 13.69 s before being directly overhead.

b. What is the horizontal distance between the plane and the victims when the box is dropped?

The horizontal distance x between plane and victims, x = speed of plane × time it takes for box to drop = 505 m/s × 13.69 s = 6913.45 m ≅ 6913.5 m
