Explanation

• Weight is a vector quantity
• Because it is a force defined as the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg).
• It has both magnitude (amount of force) and direction (downward, towards the center of the Earth)

Additional information 

Mass,  Time, and temperature are scalar quantities

Explanation

• The SI unit of energy is the Joule (J).
• It is the unit of energy, work, and heat.

Additional information:

• 1 Joule (J) = 1 Newton × 1 meter
• Calorie – 1 cal = 4.184 J
• Kilowatt-hour (kWh) – 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J
• Electronvolt (eV) – 1 eV ≈ 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
• Erg (CGS unit) – 1 erg = 10⁻⁷ J

Explanation

Biomass energy comes from plants, which get their energy through photosynthesis using sunlight.

So, the Sun is the original source of energy for all biomass.

Explanation

The area under a force–displacement graph gives the work done by the force.

This is because Work = Force × Displacement, graphically represented by the area.

Explanation

 A · A = |A||A|cos(0) = A² (since cos 0 = 1)  

   - This gives the magnitude squared of the vector.  

Explanation

Detailed Answer

One light year is equal to the distance that light travels in one year

(it is about ten trillion kilometers or six trillion miles).

A light year is a unit of distance.

The distance light travels in one year is known as light year.

A light-year is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and measures about 9.46 trillion kilometers (9.46 x 1012 km) or 5.88 trillion miles (5.88 x 1012 mi)

Explanation

Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of both the Moon and the Sun.

The Moon has a stronger effect due to its proximity to Earth.

The Sun's gravitational influence also plays a significant role in the tidal patterns we observe.

Explanation

Power is calculated as the rate of work done or energy transferred:

Power = Work / Time

= 20 J / 10 s

= 2 W

So, the machine's power output is 2 watts.

Explanation

The force is acting along the y-axis only, so it has no component along the z-axis.

Answer: 0 N

Explanation

Escape velocity depends on the mass and radius of a planet.  

   - Mercury has the lowest mass and smallest radius, hence the least escape velocity.
