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.

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>

What is amplitude?
nydimaria [60]
1. Frequency  is the number of complete waves that pass a point in a second.   2.Wavelength is the distance between two crests or two troughs.                     3.Time period <span> is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point. 4. Amplitude is the height of the wave.   Hence option 4 is correct. </span>
