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.

Recall the topography of the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of California's central valley. Which of the following locations would

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3. western slope

Explanation:

If we investigate the physical features (such as natural and artificial features) of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located at the California's central valley eastern part, the western slope has the highest value of the precipitation level yearly. This is due to the location of the slope and the relevant conditions such as temperature and humidity.

What happens to the force between two charges if one of the charges are doubled?

Julli [10]

Answer:

The new force between the charges becomes double of the initial force.

Explanation:

The force acting between charge particles is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

k is electrostatic constant

r is distance between charges

If one of the charges are doubled, then, q₁ = 2q₁

The new force becomes,

$F'=\dfrac{2kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=2F$

So, the new force between the charges becomes double of the initial force.

PLEASEE I NEED HELP FAST!!! .Study the scenario.A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large contain

RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

Q_c = m ce ( $T_{f}$ -T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

Q_c = Q_a

m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution

givi [52]

With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π

Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
= (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
= 7.5 rev/s

Answer: 7.5 revolutions per second.
