Does displacement must be straight and must include direction

Physics
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
7 0
Displacement is the total space between point a and b. For example, If I walk 3 times North, 6 times East, and 7 times North, what is the displacement? The answer is 10 because when I walked East there was on object blocking my way.

William Ferrel:
balu736 [363]

Answer:

William Ferrel created a tide-prediction machine.

Explanation:

  • William Ferrel create a machine in late 19th century that was the best combination of mechanical parts and computer coding.
  • It was a mechanical analog computer that could predict the ebb of tides and even the height of tides that could be irregular.
  • It was widely used for marine networks and navigation. Later on many improvisations and additional features were added on it.
  • During the world war times, this tide prediction machine was of great use for military purpose.

A 180 lb crate is on the ground, and a strong rope is attached. You need to move it across the basement floor, which has a coeff
jekas [21]

Answer:

F = 505.13 N

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

Explanation:

Let the force is applied at an angle of 60 degree

so we will have net vertical force on the crate is given as

F_n + Fsin60 = mg

here we know

m = 180 lb

m = 81.65 kg

F_n = 81.65(9.81) - Fsin60

F_n = 801 - 0.866 F

now friction force on the crate is given as

F_x = \mu F_n

Fcos60 = 0.7(801 - 0.866 F)

0.5F + 0.61F = 560.7

F = 505.13 N

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

What is the difference between a circuit and a current?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive

Explanation:

The difference between current and circuit is that a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive .

In a circuit, there are difference elements or components such as the battery, wire, resistor. The goal of a circuit arrangement is to completely carry current from one end to another.

The current is the quantity of charge that flows within the circuit per unit of time.

So, the battery supplies the electromotive force to move the current round the circuit.

Describe how an increase in humidity can affect the water cycle
anastassius [24]

An increase in humidity can strengthen the water cycle, because humidity is essentially boosted evaporation. When you have evaporation, that comes automatically with condensation and precipitation, so rain and cloud cover increases.
