harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1}can displacement be zero even when distance is not zero? Give example.  

2}how can you get speed of an object from its distance time graph ?

3}how can you get distance of an object from its speed time graph ?

4}can a body has zero velocity and still acceleration? give example .

5}is it possible in straight line motion of particle having zero speed and a non zero velocity? explain .

Explanation:

Hi friend,1).yes,displacement can be zero even when distance is not zeroexample :- when a body travels in circular path , after covering a circle the distance cannot be zero,but its displacement is zero..2).by finding the slope of distance time graph,we can find the speed of the body.3).by finding the integrating of speed time graph ,we can find the distance.4).yes,a body can have zero velocity and still acceleration.example- in vertically upward projected body,at its highest point,the velocity becomes zero but still acceleration due to gravity acts on it 5).no its not possible ..when the speed is zero..its velocity will be zero

Acrostic poem for cell theory. Especially theory
Sonja [21]

Answer:

In biology, cell theory is the historic scientific theory, now universally accepted, that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction.

Explanation:

The three tenets to the cell theory are as described below:

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.

Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

There is no universally accepted definition of life. Some biologists consider non-cellular entities such as viruses living organisms,[1] and thus reasonably disagree with the first tenet. Throughout this article, it will lead you through the history of cell theory, how the discovery of cells was made possible, what the cell theory has become today and background information and history regarding other opposing concepts of cell theory.

SCALCET8 3.9.018.MI. A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Explanation:

The ray of light hitting the ground forms a right angled triangle of height H, which is the height of the building and width, D which is the distance of the tip of the shadow from the building.

Also, the height of the man, h which is parallel to H forms a right-angled triangle of width, L which is the length of the shadow.

By similar triangles,

H/D = h/L

L = hD/H

Also, when the man is 4 m from the building, the length of his shadow is L = D - 4

So, D - 4 = hD/H

H(D - 4) = hD

H = hD/(D - 4)

Since h = 2 m and D = 12 m,

H = 2 m × 12 m/(12 m - 4 m)

H = 24 m²/8 m

H = 3 m

Since L = hD/H

and h and H are constant, differentiating L with respect to time, we have

dL/dt = d(hD/H)/dt

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

Now dD/dt = velocity(speed) of man = -1.7 m/s ( negative since he is moving towards the building in the negative x - direction)

Since h = 2 m and H = 3 m,

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

dL/dt = 2 m(-1.7 m/s)/3 m

dL/dt = -3.4/3 m/s

dL/dt = -1.13 m/s

So, the length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

bekas [8.4K]
<h3>Hello There!!</h3>

<h3><u>Given</u>,</h3>

Force(F) = 150N

Mass(m) = 90kg

<h3><u>To </u><u>Find,</u></h3>

Acceleration(a) = ?

<h3><u>We know,</u></h3>

F= m×a

150 = 90 \times  \text{a} \\  \\  \text{a} =  \frac{150}{90}  \\  \fbox{cancelling by 3} \\  \\   \text{ a}  = \cancel \frac{150}{90} \\  \\ \text{ a}  =  \frac{5}{3}  = 1.67 \text{m/s} {}^{2}

\therefore  \text{Option A= 1.67 m/s² is the correct answer}

<h3>Hope this helps</h3>
