No, speed is not a vector. it is scalar.

because it doesn't need direction but need magnitude.

No , speed is a scalar quantity and not a vector.

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy</u>

Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2000*20^2$

Calculating:

K =400000 J

Answer:

<h2>Force due to biceps is given as</h2><h2> $F = 1991.05 N$ </h2>

Explanation:

For balancing the force we know that

Torque due to weight hold on his hand = torque due to force applied by biceps

So here we will have

$mg \times L = F \times d$

so we have

$18.14 \times 9.8 \times 0.56 = F \times (0.05)$

$F = 1991.05 N$

For a ∆x of 0.1mm, what is ∆px, the uncertainty in the transverse momentum of a photon passing through a slit (where uncertainty

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

$0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Uncertainty principle say that the position and momentum can not be measured simultaneously except one relation which is described below,

$\Delta x\Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi }$

Given that the uncertainty in x is 0.1 mm.

Therefore,

$\Delta p=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{4\times 3.14\times 1\times 10^{-4}m }\\\Delta p=0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}$

Therefore, uncertainty in the transverse momentum of photon is $0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}$
