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.

A flat surface is in a uniform magnetic field. Given only the area of the surface and the magnetic flux through the surface, it

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Given the area A of a flat surface and the magnetic flux through the surface $\Phi$ it is possible to calculate the magnitude $\frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos \theta$ .

Explanation:

The magnetic flux gives an idea of how many magnetic field lines are passing through a surface. The SI unit of the magnetic flux $\Phi$ is the weber (Wb), of the magnetic field B is the tesla (T) and of the area A is ( $m^{2}$ ). So 1 Wb=1 T.m².

For a flat surface S of area A in a uniform magnetic field B, with $\theta$ being the angle between the vector normal to the surface S and the direction of the magnetic field B, we define the magnetic flux through the surface as:

$\Phi=B\ A\ cos\theta$

We are told the values of $\Phi$ and B, then we can calculate the magnitude

$\frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos\theta$

A battery has a potential resistance of 12 V and a current of 1280 mA. What is the resistance? PLS HELP ME ASAPPPPPPPPPP

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Resistance (R) = 9.375 ohm (Ω)

Steps:

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

$= \frac{12 \: volt}{1280 \: milliampere}$

$= \frac{12 \: volt}{1.28 \: ampare}$

$= 9.375 \: ohm (Ω)$

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s

USPshnik [31]

No because an atom consists of two main parts and three subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.
