You walk 20 meters north, then 5 meters south. what is your displacement?

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is C. 15 meters North

Displacement is the distance and direction from the origin. If you move 20 meters North, your displacement is 20 meters North. If you move 5 meters South, you are basically moving back the way you came by 5 meters, which means you are now 15 meters North.

I hope this helped! :)

Una caja de 5.0kg de masa se acelera desde el reposo a través del piso mediante una fuerza a una tasa de 2.0 /s2 durante 7.0s en

Responder:

<h2>490 julios </h2>

Explicación:

Se dice que el trabajo se realiza cuando una fuerza aplicada a un objeto hace que el objeto se mueva a través de una distancia. El trabajo realizado por un cuerpo se expresa mediante la fórmula;

Workdone = Fuerza * Distancia

Como Fuerza = masa * aceleración,

Workdone = masa * aceleración * distancia

Masa dada = 5.0kg, aceleración = 2.0m / s² d =?

Para obtener d, usaremos una de las leyes del movimiento,

d = ut + 1 / 2at²

u = 0 (ya que el cuerpo acelera desde el reposo) yt = 7.0s

d = 0 + 1/2 (2) (7) ²

d = 49m

Workdone = 5 * 2 * 49

Workdone = 490 Julios

Explain why you cannot use mass or volume alone to identify substances.

Objects can have the same mass (but different <span>compositions). Only mass or volume cannot tell you if the object is solid or vo</span>lumes) or same volume (but different masses)

A 500N car is pulled up to 20m plant to a flat from 5m above the ground by an effort of 150N parallel to the plank what is the V

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

VR = Velocity ratio = Distance moved by effort/Distance moved by load

Given:

Distance moved by effort = 20m

Distance moved by Load = 5m

VR = 20/5

VR = 4
