Question

QUESTIONS 1. Explain the difference between a scalar quantity and a vector quantity. Give one Physics example for each of the two variable categories. What are the two purposes of the pulleys used in this experiment? 2. 3. Vector subtraction is a special case of vector addition since it can be written as a-b=a+ (-5), suppose that the last three scenarios of vector addition in this experiment were instead actually vector subtractions, in the form of (F1 -F2), instead vector additions. a. Using computer software (such as Microsoft Word) create three separate vector subtraction diagrams, one for each scenario of vector addition in this experiment. You may use either of the two graphical method introduced in the THEORY section. b. Would these three new resultant vectors have the same angle of orientation as c. Could the magnitude of a resultant vector possibly be different for vector 4. Identify the independent variable(s) in this experiment. Be specific and use proper 5. Identify the dependent variable(s) in this experiment. Be specific and use proper was measured (or calculated) during the experiment? subtraction than for vector addition? If not, explain. If so, give an example. vocabulary. vocabulary.

Explanation / Answer

There are multiple questions here . i am allowed to answer only 1 at a time. I will answer question 1 for you.Please ask other as different question.

Scalar quantity is quantity which has only magnitude but no direction. For example,Temperature, distance,etc

Vector quantity is quantity which has magnitude as well as direction. For example,displacement,force,etc

Explaining distance and displacement:

when we say Alice travelled 10km today. We are just saying magnitude. So distance is scalar.

when we say Alice travelled 10km today towards south. We are just saying magnitude as well asdirection. So displacement is vector.
