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.

Do you think it would take more force to transport five blocks in the sled or in the wagon?

enot [183]

It will depend on the frictional force involved in the two. I think it will take more force in sled.

An airplane with a speed of 92.3 m/s is climbing upward at an angle of 51.1 ° with respect to the horizontal. When the plane's a

devlian [24]

Answer:

$D = 1162.7 \ m$

$\beta =- 65.55^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the airplane is $u = 92.3 \ m/s$

The angle is $\theta = 51.1^o$

The altitude of the plane is $d = 532 \ m$

Generally the y-component of the airplanes velocity is

$u_y = v * sin (\theta )$

=> $u_y = 92.3 * sin ( 51.1 )$

=> $u_y = 71.83 \ m/s$

Generally the displacement traveled by the package in the vertical direction is

$d = (u_y)t + \frac{1}{2}(-g)t^2$

=> $-532 = 71.83 t + \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2$

Here the negative sign for the distance show that the direction is along the negative y-axis

=> $4.9t^2 - 71.83t - 532 = 0$

Solving this using quadratic formula we obtain that

$t = 20.06 \ s$

Generally the x-component of the velocity is

$u_x = u * cos (\theta)$

=> $u_x = 92.3 * cos (51.1)$

=> $u_x = 57.96 \ m/s$

Generally the distance travel in the horizontal direction is

$D = u_x * t$

=> $D = 57.96 * 20.06$

=> $D = 1162.7 \ m$

Generally the angle of the velocity vector relative to the ground is mathematically represented as

$\beta = tan ^{-1}[\frac{v_y}{v_x } ]$

Here $v_y$ is the final velocity of the package along the vertical axis and this is mathematically represented as

$v_y = u_y - gt$

=> $v_y = 71.83 - 9.8 * 20.06$

=> $v_y = -130.05 \ m/s$

and v_x is the final velocity of the package which is equivalent to the initial velocity $u_x$

$\beta = tan ^{-1}[-130.05}{57.96 } ]$

$\beta =- 65.55^o$

The negative direction show that it is moving towards the south east direction

Lina20 [59]

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.

If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.
