If you run around a circular track with a radius of 10m, what is the displacement after 3 full laps back to the start line?

Displacement will be zero.

<h3>What is displacement and how is it different from distance?</h3>

Displacement:

  1. It is the shortest distance between an object's beginning position and ending position.
  2. The quantity is a vector.
  3. It may be zero, positive, or negative.
  4. Displacement may be greater than or equal to distance.

In the given question, we start from one point and finish at the same point around the circular track. Therefore there is no distance between the initial and final points because they are the same. That's why the displacement is zero.

Distance:

  1. It is the actual path or distance that an object takes to go from its starting point to its finishing point.
  2. The quantity is a scalar one.
  3. It cannot be 0 or negative; it must be positive.
  4. Displacement and distance may be equal.

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick tog
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg

initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0

Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.

Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)

6 = 6v

v = 1 m/s

Impulse is given by;

I = ft = mΔv = m(

The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;

I = 2 (3 -1 )

I = 4 N.s

The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;

I = 4(0-1)

I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).

Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

A car starts from rest and accelerates from u seconds until it reaches a speed of 10ms
9966 [12]
Distance = speed* time

10x10^-3 *u + 10x10^-3 * 2u = 125

0.01u + 0.02u = 125

0.03u = 125
u = 4166.66666.... s

acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time

(10x10-3 - 0)/4167 = 2.3998 * 10^-6 m s-2

How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 43.0-kg crate 10.4 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if the
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The crate is in equilibrium. Newton's second law gives

∑ <em>F</em> (vertical) = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = <em>p</em> - <em>f</em> = 0

where

• <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force

• <em>mg</em> = weight of the crate

• <em>p</em> = mag. of push exerted by movers

• <em>f</em> = mag. of kinetic friciton, with <em>f</em> = 0.60<em>n</em>

<em />

It follows that

<em>p</em> = <em>f</em> = 0.60<em>mg</em> = 0.60 (43.0 kg) <em>g</em> = 252.84 N

so that the movers perform

<em>W</em> = <em>p</em> (10.4 m) ≈ 2600 J

of work on the crate. (The <em>total</em> work done on the crate, on the other hand, is zero because the net force on the crate is zero.)
