A physical quantity is something which can be measured and whose measurement is necessary because all the laws of physics are given in terms of these physical quantities. The examples of physical quantity are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, velocity , acceleration, force, work, weight,power, energy etc.
There are some quantities which cannot be measured and hence are not classified as physical quantities , for example, love, honesty, hatred etc
Thus a physical quantity is a quantity which can be measured.
Answer:
233.1 miles per hours
Explanation:
Speed: This is defined as the ratio of distance to time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s. speed is a vector quantity because it can only be represented by magnitude only. Mathematically, speed can be expressed as,
S = d/t ....................... Equation 1
Where S = speed of the runner, d = distance covered, t = time.
Given: d = 100 meter , t = 9.580 seconds
Conversion:
If, 1 meter = 0.00062 miles
Then, 100 meters = (0.00062×100) miles = 0.62 miles.
Also
If, 3600 s = 1 h
Then, 9.580 s = (1×9.580)/3600 = 0.00266 hours.
Substitute into equation 1
S = 0.62/0.00266
S = 233.1 miles per hours.
Hence the runner speed is 233.1 miles per hours

Answer:
v = 4.76 m/s
Explanation:
Given,
The distance traveled by her bike, d = 10 miles
The time of her travel, t = 2.1 m/s
The velocity of an object is defined as the distance traveled by the object to the time of travel. Therefore,
V = d/t m/s
= 10 / 2.1
= 4.76 m/s
Hence, The velocity of her bike is, V = 4.76 m/s
