Distance is a scalar quantity. It refers only to how far an object has traveled. For example, 4 feet is a distance; it gives no information about direction. To say an object traveled 4 feet is somewhat ambiguous. To say the object traveled 4 feet west, for example, would be a displacement, and would then be a vector quantity. It gives a more complete picture of what happened.

Mass is a scalar quantity. Simply put, it refers to how much matter an object is made up of. It has magnitude but gives no indication of direction in any sense. The vector counterpart to mass is weight.

Weight is a vector quantity. Weight is a force, and forces are vectors, i.e. having both magnitude and direction. Perceived weight of an object at rest on earth is given by

W

=

→

F

g

=

m

g

, the product of the mass of the object and the free-fall Time is a scalar quantity (as far as we are concerned at this level). It gives information about magnitude, i.e. how much time, but no information about direction.

Volume is a scalar quantity. It refers to the amount of space that an object occupies and therefore has magnitude, but gives no information about direction.

Density is a scalar quantity, having only magnitude and giving no information about direction. We can also reason that, because density is equal to mass divided by volume and both mass and volume are scalar quantities, density must also be a scalar quantity.

Speed is a scalar quantity, having only magnitude and giving no information about direction. For example,

40

m

s

is a speed, it tells us how fast an object is traveling, but nothing abut which direction the object is traveling in. The vector counterpart to speed is velocity.

Velocity is a vector quantity. Velocities have both magnitude and direction. For example,

40

m

s

NE is a velocity.

Acceleration is a vector quantity. Acceleration has both magnitude and direction. For example,

9.8

m

s

2

downward or

−

9.8

m

s

2

vertically is an acceleration.

Force is a vector quantity. Force has both magnitude and direction. Weight is an example of force given above. Another is the force of friction, which has some magnitude and acts in the direction opposite that of motion.

Temperature is a scalar quantity. A measurement of temperature has magnitude, but gives no information about direction.Note that certain quantities which are alone scalars can be represented as vectors when we discuss intervals or how the quantities change (e.g. measure of increase or decrease). this is all you need to know my friend

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

2.88*10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

c=\frac {2d}{t} and t=\frac {\theta}{\omega} hence

c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}

Speed of light is given by

c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s

When a calcium atom forms an ion, it loses two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the calcium ion? a) −2 b) −1 c)+ 1 d)
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option D

+2

Explanation:

We know that Calcium has 20 electrons and 20 protons. It lost two electrons, it has 20 protons, but only 18 electrons. This makes calcium a positive ion with a charge of +2.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

TERMINUS ANTE QUEM

Explanation: Terminus ante quem is an Archeological an a Latin term used to describe the date before which an event or events took place,it is also used to show the date before which Archeological works have been deposited in a given area.

Example, a pottery dating to the 4th century AD found on a surface would give that pottery with a terminus ante quem of the 4thcentury AD.

This type of cross dating can either be TERMINUS ANTE QUEM OR TERMINUS POST QUEM.
