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.
1.ans: No the tension in the string of a simple pendulum is not constant throughout the motion
v is velocity of the bob and theta is the angle made by the string with vertical axis.as v and both are variable T is also variable.T is maximum at mean position as at mean position v is max and the angle is minimum.
2.ans: If the amplitude of the simple...
Dextrorotatory and dextrorotation are terms used in chemistry to describe the direction in which a substance rotates plane-polarized light. When a substance is said to be dextrorotatory, it means that it rotates plane-polarized light to the right or clockwise direction, whereas when it is levorotatory, it rotates plane-polarized light to the left or counterclockwise direction.
The terms "dextrorotatory" and "levorotatory" come from the Latin words "dexter" meaning "right" and "lævus" meaning...
Bohr's theory of the atom was proposed in the early 20th century and was based on the idea that electrons move in fixed orbits around the nucleus. According to this theory, the position and momentum of an electron in an atom can be determined with absolute precision at any given moment, which seems to contradict Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to determine the exact position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. This...
