Compare scalar and vector quantities using the definitions of distance and displacement

Physics
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity

Explanation:

A scalar quantity represents only the magnitude and does not give any detail about the direction of the quantity for example distance. Distance can be any length measured in any direction (no specific direction)

However, a vector quality represents both the magnitude and direction. For instance displacement is a vector quantity. If direction is not defined then displacement becomes equal to distance.

An electron emitted from a filament is travelling at 1.5 x 105 m/s when it enters an acceleration of an electron gun in a televi
Crank

Answer:

The acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the emitted electron, u = 1.5 x 10⁵ m/s

distance traveled by the electron, d = 0.01 m

final velocity of the electron, v = 5.4 x 10⁶ m/s

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

(5.4 x 10⁶)² = (1.5 x 10⁵)² + (2 x 0.01)a

(2 x 0.01)a = (5.4 x 10⁶)² - (1.5 x 10⁵)²

(2 x 0.01)a = 2.91375 x 10¹³

a = \frac{2.91375 \ \times \ 10^{13}}{2 \ \times \ 0.01} \\\\a = 1.457 \ \times \ 10^{15} \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².

a child is swinging on swing, describe what happens to both the kinectic energy and potential enegry of the child as she swings
Igoryamba

Answer:

The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position and the P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.

Explanation:

  • A child is swinging on swing up and down has both kinetic and potential energy.
  • The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved throughout the system. At any instant the total mechanical energy is given by,

                                      E = K.E + P.E

  • The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position.
  • The P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.
  • And when K.E is maximum P.E becomes minimum and vice versa as per the law of conservation of energy.
