How do you determine true displacement value of an object that has moved?

1 answer:

3 0

Diceplacement is the distance an object has traveled in a certain direction
for example, if you were to walk North for 20m, then east for 40m, the <u>distance</u> you have traveled is 60m however your displacement is the distance between your starting position and your end position;
sqrt(20^2+40^2) = 44.7m
and because displacement is a vector, there needs to be a direction;
sin(theta)=40/44.7
theta=63.4 degrees East of North

therefore the true displacement is 44.7m at 63.4 degrees East of North

The total mass of the train and its passengers is 750000kg. The train is traveling at a speed of 84m/s. The driver applies the b

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

|F| = 393750 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Total mass of the train, m = 750000 kg

Initial speed, u = 84 m/s

Final speed, v = 42 m/s

Time, t = 80 s

We need to find the net force acting on the train. The formula for force is given by :

F = ma

$F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{750000\times (42-84)}{80}\\\\F=-393750\ N$

So, the magnitude of net force is 393750 N.

A 5.00 kilogram mass is traveling at 100. meters per second. Determine the speed of the mass after an impulse with a magnitude o

faltersainse [42]

m = mass = 5 kg

$v_{i}$ = initial velocity = 100 m/s

$v_{f}$ = final velocity = ?

I = impulse = 30 Ns

Using the impulse-change in momentum equation

I = m( $v_{f}$ - $v_{i}$ )

30 = 5 ( $v_{f}$ - 100)

$v_{f}$ = 106 m/s

The components of vector A are:

Korvikt [17]

here as it is given that x component of the vector is positive while y component of the vector is negative so we can say the vector must inclined in Fourth quadrant.

So angle must be more than 270 degree and less than 360 degree

Now in order to find the value we can say that

$tan\theta = \frac{opposite\: side}{adjacent\: side}$
