Why is area called scalar quantity​

Physics
1 answer:
astraxan [27]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Commonly area is a scalar quantity because there is no need of direction to define and also follow the algebrac summation. When we talk about vector there exist a frame of reference with a certain orogin

Which is a characteristic of projectile motion?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
<h2>Right answer: It follows a curved path </h2>

The movement of a projectile is a movement in two dimensions (forming a curved path: a parabola shape) with <u>constant acceleration. </u>

<u> </u>

A projectile is any body or object that is thrown or projected by means of some force and continues in motion by its own inertia. This means the only force that acts on it while in motion is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u> (in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).  

Where gravity influences the <u>vertical movement</u> of the projectile, while <u>the horizontal movement</u> of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object to remain in motion at a constant speed (according to Newton's 1st law of motion sometimes called Law of Inertia).

The other options are <u>incorrect</u> because are <u>false</u>:

-The forward motion negates air resistance: There is always at least a small percent of air resistance, as long as that movement is done on Earth.  

-It has variable acceleration: In projectile motion acceleration is constant (gravity acceleration) .

-It is unaffected by gravity: The only force that acts on the projectile is due gravity.

a book is sitting still on your desk. are the forces acting on the book balanced or unbalanced? explain.
GrogVix [38]
<span>They are balanced. If the forces were not balanced the book would move*. In this example, the downward force of gravity on the book is counterbalanced by the upthrust of the desk. </span>

A person does work equal to 2500 J in climbing a tree of height 5 m. What is the mass of the person? The value of g = 9.8 ms². (
seraphim [82]

Answer:

51kg

Explanation:

w=FxS

2500=Fx5

F=2500/5=500

mass = 500/9.8 = 51kg

What is the SI unit for kinetic energy
trapecia [35]
The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and  
                                       Work = (force) x (distance).

So energy is                   (unit of force) x (unit of distance)

                   [Energy]  =       (Newton)            (meter) .

'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
                             (kilogram-meter/sec²)      (meter)

                       =           kilogram-meter² / sec² .

That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
                                       Joule .

It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.

And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.
