Answer:

Explanation:

A vector is a physical quantity that has magnitude and direction while a scalar is a physical quantity that has magnitude only

*electric potential is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude

*electric field and electric force are vector quantities because they have magnitude and direction

a 10 kilogram steel ball is dropped from the top of a tower 100 meters high the kinetic energy of the ball just before it sttike

EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

If we assume negligible air resistance and heat loss, we can assume that all of the Gravitational potential energy of the ball will turn into Kinetic energy as it falls toward the ground.

Therefore our Kinetic energy = mgh = (10kg)(9.81N/kg)(100m) = 9,810J.

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The answer is A, B, C, D

Explanation:

This is because gravity is the weakest force of the four fundamental forces, so it automatically cancels letter E

Sati [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know the force is (16N-12), which is 4N, and we know the acceleration is 2 m/s^2. Meaning, we can solve the formula m = F / a (mass equals force divided by acceleration), and we get 2kg.

A simple pendulum has length of 820mm. Calculate the frequency (g = 9.8 ms -2)

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf f=0.55 \ Hz}$

Explanation:

Given Data:

Length = l = 820 mm = 0.82 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Required:

Frequency = f = ?

Formula:

$\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }$

Solution:

$\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\Put\ the\ givens\\\\f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.82} }\\\\ f = 0.159 \times \sqrt{11.95} \\\\f=0.159 \times 3.457\\\\f=0.55 \ Hz\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$

A muon is a short-lived particle. It is found experimentally that muonsmoving at speed 0.9ccan travel about 1500 meters between

Monica [59]

Answer:

a) $t=5.5\mu s$

b) $\Delta t'=12.5\mu s$

Explanation:

a) Let's use the constant velocity equation:

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

v is the speed of the muon. 0.9*c
c is the speed of light 3*10⁸ m/s

$t=\frac{\Delta x}{v}=\frac{1500}{0.9*(3*10^{8})}$

$t=5.5\mu s$

b) Here we need to use Lorentz factor because the speed of the muon is relativistic. Hence the time in the rest frame is the product of the Lorentz factor times the time in the inertial frame.

$\Delta t'=\gamma\Delta t$
