Answer:

Vector quantity

Explanation:

What is a vector quantity?

-> A vector quantity has both direction and magnitude

What is scalar quantity?

-> S scalar quantity has only magnitude

[] Based on these definitions, 9.7 x 104 km East is a vector quantity because it includes a direction, East.

Help!!! What is the kinetic energy of a 0.1kg baseball thrown at 20m/s? With work please

True [87]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2

Mass = 0.1 kg

Velocity = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * 0.1 * 20^2

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * 0.1 * 400

Kinetic energy = 20 J

A small metal sphere weighs 0.34 N in air and has a volume of 13 cm3 . What is the acceleration of the sphere as it falls throug

Xelga [282]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. Said balance will be given between buoyancy force and weight, both described as derived from Newton's second law, are given as

Buoyancy force

$F_B = V\rho g$

Here,

V = Volume

$\rho$ =Density of air

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Weight

$F_W = mg$

m = mass

g = Gravity

Our values are given as,

$\text{Weight of the sphere} = W = 0.34 N$

$\text{Volume} = V = 13 cm^3 = 13*10^{-6}m^3$

$\text{density of air} =\rho =1.29kg/m^3$

$\text{gravity}= g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Then,

$F = V\rho g$

Replacing,

$F = (13*10^{-6}m^3 )(1.29Kg/m^3)( 9.8 m/s^2) = 1.6434* 10^{-4} N$

Now net force is ,

$F_{net} = mg - F$

Mass of the sphere is

$m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{0.34N}{9.8m/s^2} = 0.03469 kg$

Now acceleration of the sphere is

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}$

$a = \frac{( 0.34 N)- (1.6434* 10^{-4} N)}{0.03469 kg}$

$a = 9.822m/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration of the sphere as it falls through water is $9.822m/s^2$

State three differences between solid friction and viscosity

Mrrafil [7]

Difference between solid friction and viscosity is as follows: Viscosity is proportional to the surface area whereas solid friction is independent of area of solid surfaces in contact. Viscous force on the body depends upon its velocity in the viscous media. But, friction does not depend on the velocity of the body.
