On his fishing trip Justin takes the boat 25 km south. The fish aren’t biting so he goes 10 km west. He follows a school of fish

15 km north. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement?

Distance is 50 km

Displacement is 10 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance toward south, x = 25 km

Distance towards west, y = 10 km

Distance towards north, z = 15 km

(a) Total distance, D = ?

Total distance, D = x + y + z

                       D = 25 + 10 + 15

                       D = 50km

(b) Displacement, d = ?

Displacement = final position - initial position

                      = 10 - 0 km

                      = 10km

A small economy car (low mass) and a limousine (high mass) are pushed from rest across a parking lot, equal distances with equal
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The car that receives more kinetic energy is the small economy car.

Explanation:

K.E = 0.5*mv²

Where;

K.E is the kinetic Energy

M is the mass of an object

V is the velocity of the moving object

But F = m(v/t), from Newton's second law of motion

If equal forces were applied to the two cars, then the velocity of each car will be calculated as follows.

v = (Ft/m)

v² = (Ft/m)²

Substitute in the value of v² into Kinetic energy equation

K.E = 0.5*mv²

K.E = 0.5*m(Ft/m)² = (0.5*F²t²)/m

Also assuming equal distance, equal force and assuming equal time for both cars.

The above equation will reduce to, K.E = k/m

Where k = 0.5*F²t², which is equal in both cars.

Thus, Kinetic energy will depend only on the mass of each car.

From the above expression, Kinetic Energy received by each car is inversely proportional to the mass of the car.

A small economy car (low mass)  will receive more kinetic energy while a limousine (high mass) car will receive less kinetic energy.

Therefore, the car that receives more kinetic energy is the small economy car.

A 0.20 kg mass attached to the end of a spring causes it to stretch 3.0 cm. What is the spring constant? What is the potential e
SVEN [57.7K]

Given that the mass is m = 0.2 kg and the displacement is x = 3 cm = 0.03 m

We have to find the spring constant and potential energy.

The spring constant can be calculated by the formula

\begin{gathered} F=\text{ kx} \\ mg\text{ = kx} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{mg}{x} \end{gathered}

Here, k is the spring constant.

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting the values, the spring constant will be

\begin{gathered} k=\frac{0.2\times9.8}{0.03} \\ =\text{ 65.33 N/m } \end{gathered}

The potential energy can be calculated as

\begin{gathered} U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times65.33\text{ }\times(0.03)^2 \\ =\text{ 0.0293 J} \end{gathered}

Five men push a stalled car with an average force of 400 N per person. Find the mass of the
timama [110]

The mass of the car is 2000 kg

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

a=1 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the car

Each person applies a force of 400 N, and there are five men, so the total force applied is

\sum F = 5\cdot 400 N = 2000 N

Therefore, the mass of the car is:

m=\frac{\sum F}{a}=\frac{2000 N}{1 m/s^2}=2000 kg

3. El tambor de una lavadora que gira a 3 000 revoluciones por minuto (rpm) se acelera uniformemente hasta que alcanza las 6 000
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

d)    α = 1693.5 rad / s² , a = 392.7 m / s² ,   a_total = α √(R² +1) ,

e)   tan θ = a / α

Explanation:

This is an exercise in linear and angular kinematics.

We initialize reduction of all the magnitudes to the SI system

   w₀ = 3000 rev / min (2π rad / 1rev) (1min / 60s) = 314.16 rad / s

   w = 6000 rev / mi = 628.32 rad / s

   θ = 12 rev = 12 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 75.398 rad

d) ask for centripetal, tangential and total acceleration.

Let's start by looking for centripetal acceleration, let's use the formula

          w² = w₀² + 2 α θ

          α = (w²- w₀²) / 2θ

we calculate

           α = (628.32²2 - 314.16²) / 2 75.398

           α = 1693.5 rad / s²

the quantity is linear and angular are related

         

the linear or tangential acceleration is

            a =    α  R

where R is the radius of the drum

            a = 1693.5 R

Unfortunately you do not give the radius of the drum for a complete calculation, but suppose it is a washing machine drum R = 20 cm = 0.20 m

           a = 1693.5 0.20

           a = 392.7 m / s²

the total acceleration is

           a_total = √(a² + α²)

           a_total = √ (α² R² + α²)

           a_total = α √(R² +1)

e) The centripetal acceleration is directed towards the center of the movement is radial and its magnitude is constant

Tangential acceleration is tangency to radius and its value varies proportionally radius

the total accelracicon is the result of the vector sum of the two accelerations and their directions given by trigonometry

            tan θ = a / α

the angular velocity increases linearly when with centripetal acceleration
