Scalar quantity are physical quantities that have just magnitude, not direction.
- It is always positive.
- Examples: Speed, distance
Complete question:
A train has an initial velocity of 44m/s and an acceleration of -4m/s². calculate its velocity after 10s ?
Answer:
the final velocity of the train is 4 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the train, u = 44 m/s
acceleration of the train, a = -4m/s² (the negative sign shows that the train is decelerating)
time of motion, t = 10 s
let the final velocity of the train = v
The final velocity of the train is calculated using the following kinematic equation;
v = u + at
v = 44 + (-4 x 10)
v = 44 - 40
v = 4 m/s
Therefore, the final velocity of the train is 4 m/s.
Answer:
Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.
