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 empty boat floats in water with 10% of its volume submerged. and when it is loaded with 1200kg , the volume submerged will in
Lostsunrise [7]

Let volume of empty boat be = 100% = 1V

and mass of boat be M

In water 10%, 0.1V of the volume is submerged.

Mass, m of 1200kg increases the submerging from 10%, 0.1V to 70%, 0.7V

M leads to 0.1V boat submerging

boat submerging.

M + 1200kg leads to 0.7V boat submerging.

This is 60%, 0.6 V increase

By comparison

(M+1200kg) * 0.1V = 0.7V * M

0.1M + 120kg = 0.7M

120kg = 0.7M - 0.1M

120kg = 0.6M

M = (120/0.6)kg

M = 200kg.

The mass of the boat is 200kg.
