The displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 338.32 km.

<h3>What is displacement of Edward?</h3>

The displacement of Edward can be determined from different methods of vector addition. The method applied here is triangular method.

The angle between the 200 km north west and 150 km west = 60 + 90 = 150⁰

The displacement is the side of the triangle facing 150⁰ = R

R² = a² + b² - 2abcosR

R² = 150² + 200²  - (2x 150 x 200)xcos(150)

R² = 62,500 - (-51,961.52)

R² = 114,461.52

R = 338.32 km

a 2000kg car initially traveling at a speed of 15 m/s is accelerated by a constant force of 10000 n for 3 seconds. the new speed
Juliette [100K]
  • Mass of the car (m) = 2000 Kg
  • Initial velocity (u) = 15 m/s
  • Force (F) = 10000 N
  • Time (t) = 3 s
  • Let the acceleration be a.
  • By using the formula, F = ma, we get,
  • 10000 N = 2000 Kg × a
  • or, a = 10000 N ÷ 2000 Kg
  • or, a = 5 m/s^2
  • Let the final velocity be v.
  • By using the formula, v = u + at, we get,
  • v = 15 m/s + 5 m/s^2 × 3 s
  • or, v = 15 m/s + 15 m/s
  • or, v = 30 m/s

consider the free-body diagram. if you want the box to move, the force applied while dragging must be greater than the
NeTakaya

Answer:

Force of static friction between the two surfaces

Explanation:

When two surfaces come into contact, they exert a force that resist the sliding of the two surfaces. This force is called static friction.

This force is given by the relation

                                       F_{s}=\mu_{s}\eta

Where,

                             μ - coefficient of static friction

                             η - normal force acting on the body

When a force acts on a body placed on a rough surface, it doesn't do any work if the applied force was less than the force of static friction.

So, in order to move the body, the applied force should be greater than the force of static friction.

The planet Krypton has a mass of 7.6 × 1023 kg and radius of 1.7 × 106 m. What is the acceleration of an object in free fall nea
olga55 [171]

Answer:

17.55 m/s²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Krypton, M = 7.6 * 10^23 kg

Radius, R = 1.7 * 10^6 m

Gravitational constant, G = 6.6726 * 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Acceleration due to gravity of planet of mass M is given as:

g = GM/R²

Since the object is close to the surface of Krypton, we can say that the distance from the Centre of Krypton is the radius of the planet Krypton.

Therefore,

g = (6.6726 * 10^(-11) * 7.6 * 10^23)/(1.7 * 10^6)²

g = 17.55 m/s²
