Water is a vital substance for life on Earth, and it plays numerous important biological roles in living organisms. Some of the key biological roles of water are:
Universal solvent: Water is an excellent solvent for many substances, both organic and inorganic. This means that it can dissolve and transport a wide range of nutrients and minerals necessary for the growth and survival of living organisms.
Medium for metabolic reactions: Many metabolic reactions in living organisms require water...
Yes, a physical quantity can have magnitude and direction but still be a scalar if it doesn't obey the vector addition. An example is Electric Current which has magnitude and a fixed direction, but it does not follow vector laws of addition.
Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
Time taken (t) = 3 sec
Velocity of sound (v) = 332 m/s
Distance travelled (d) = ?
We know,
d = v x t = 332 x 3 = 996 m
Hence, the source of thunder is about 996 m far from the boy.
Happy Mother's Day, sir.
