Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...

If a 60 kg student is standing on the edge of a cliff. Find the students gravitational potential of the cliff is 30 m high
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

17640J

Explanation:

Give mass m= 60kg

Height h =30m

Since the student is standing on the edge of a cliff , acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8m/s^2

The student’s gravitational potential energy can be found by the formula

mgh

That’s 60 x 9.8 x 30

= 17640J

lab safety test Safety goggles and an apron must be worn when handling chemicals labeled corrosive because they:________.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The terms of biosafety in a laboratory require that the person must not have the eyes and skin exposed.

Explanation:

A corrosive substance is a substance that can damage a surface when they come into contact.

These substances represent a danger in people since they can burn the eyes, the skin, and the inside of the body since the inhalation of gases can burn the respiratory tract.

These chemical burns can be avoided by properly following the biosafety protocol that a laboratory requires the use of masks, goggles, gloves, and an apron or lab coat.

A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 950 m above the ground. (assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) find the dista
sergey [27]
<span>d = 950 m - 4.9t^2 m The distance an object moves under constant acceleration is d = 0.5at^2 where d = distance a = acceleration t = time. Since we're falling and since we're starting at 950 m above ground, the formula becomes: d = 950 m - 0.5at^2 Substituting known values, and simplifying gives us d = 950 m - 0.5*9.8 m/s^2 * t^2 d = 950 m - 4.9 m/s^2 * t^2 Since time is in seconds, we can cancel out the seconds in the units, getting d = 950 m - 4.9t^2 m</span>
