Imagine a ball is moving on the following horizontal line.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Take right as positive. O is the starting point of the ball. Denote the ball by o.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . ... . . o . . . . . .
Assume the ball is moving to the right. It has positive displacement since it is on the right of O, and positive velocity since its positive displacement is increasing.
.ñ
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . o . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Now the ball is returning to O. It still has positive displacement since its current position is still on the right of O. However, its velocity is negative since its positive displacement is decreasing and the direction of the velocity vector points left, which is the negative side.
By now you should be able to come up with a scenario where the ball has negative displacement and positive velocity.
You can observe the same phenomenon in daily life. Say, as a stretched spring bounces to its starting position, if we let the returning direction be positive, the string has negative displacement since it is on the negative direction, but has positive velocity. Bungee jump can also used to illustrate the phenomenon.
Answer: (1) 3.83x10^3 J
Explanation:
(1) Fx=(255N)cos60°
dx=30.0m
w=Fx dx =(255)(cos60°)(30.0m)
Answer:
v = 22.54 mph.
Explanation:
Given that,
Distance moved, d = 200 m
Time, t = 19.8 s
We need to find the runner's average speed.
We know that,
1 mile = 1609.34 m
200 m = 0.124 miles
19.8 seconds = 0.0055 h
So,
Speed = distance/time
So, the runner's average speed is 22.54 mph.
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
So since the boat has a lower density than the water, it will float.
So the answer is choice B
