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

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
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

If the tension in the rope is 160 n, how much work does the rope do on the skier during a forward displacement of 270 m?
Lunna [17]

If the tension in the rope is 160 n, - 43200 J work doen by the rope on the skier during a forward displacement of 270 m.

Given,

Tension force in the rope is (T) = 160 N

Displacement of the skier (S) = 270 m

The displacement takes place in forward direction while the direction of the tension in the rope is opposite to it.

Therefore, work done by the rope on  the skier is,

   W=T.S

⇒W=270*160*cos\pi \\W=-43200 J

Hence work done by the rope is - 43200 J.

A block of ice of mass 4.30 kg is placed against a horizontal spring that has a force constant k = 250 N/m and is compressed a d
OleMash [197]

Answer:

W = 0.060 J

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Explanation:

solution:

for the spring:

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2

x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2

W = 0.060 J

the work-energy theorem,

W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK

with K = 1/2*m*v^2

v_2 = √2*W/m

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

A motorcycle accelerated from 10 metre per second to 30 metre per second in 6 seconds. How far did it travel in this time ?
Ber [7]
U=10 m/s
v=30 m/s
t=6 sec

therefore, a=(v-u)/t
                   =(30-10)/6
                   =(10/3) ms^-2

now, displacement=ut+0.5*a*t^2
                              =60+ 0.5*(10/3)*36
                              =120 m
And you can solve it in another way:

v^2=u^2+2as
or, s=(v^2-u^2)/2a
       =(900-100)/6.6666666.......
       =120 m

A cord of mass 0.65 kg is stretched between two supports 28 m apart. if the tension in the cord is 150 n, 2 how long will it tak
MaRussiya [10]
Ans: Time <span>taken by a pulse to travel from one support to the other = 0.348s
</span>
Explanation:
First you need to find out the speed of the wave.

Since
Speed = v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }

Where
T = Tension in the cord = 150N
μ = Mass per unit length = mass/Length = 0.65/28 = 0.0232 kg/m

So
v = \sqrt{ \frac{150}{0.0232} } = 80.41 m/s

Now the time-taken by the wave = t = Length/speed = 28/80.41=0.348s
