What do you mean by physical quantity

2 answers:

7 0

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.

A radio have a wavelength of 0.3m and travels at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave?

Ilya [14]

The frequency of the wave is $1\cdot 10^9 Hz$

Explanation:

The frequency, the wavelength and the speed of a wave are related by the following equation:

$c=f \lambda$

where

c is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the radio wave in this problem,

$\lambda = 0.3 m$

$c=300,000,000 m/s = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Therefore, the frequency is:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{0.3}=1\cdot 10^9 Hz$

Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.

A rocket has a mass 280(103) slugs on earth. Specify its mass in SI units, and its weight in SI units.

saw5 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conversion of units for which we will have that 1 slug is equal to 14.59kg. At the same time we will use Newton's second law for which weight is defined as the product between mass and acceleration (Due to gravity). This is then

A: Using the conversion ratio of slug to kilogram we have to,

$1 slug = 14.59kg$
