<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.

The reason why Susan's drive is not working is that she has connected the drive to a USB 2.0 port, which does not have enough power for her drive.

USB is a short acronym for the original word called a Universal Serial Bus. USB is a connector interface for connecting a computer to peripherals and other devices.

USB comes in different specs such as the:

USB 2.0
USB 3.0

Some of the characteristics differences between USB 2.0 and 3.0 are:

A USB 2.0 requires 480 Mbps for data transfer speed while USB 3.0 requires 4800 Mbps.

A USB 2.0 has the ability to use a maximum power of 500 mA, while USB 3.0 can make use of up to 900 mA.

From the given information, It is stated that the drive requires a minimum of 400 Mbps and at least 900 mA;

Therefore, it implies that the drive is supposed to work with a power of at least 900 mA for it to work.

But since it is not working, we can conclude that the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port (500 mA) which does not have enough power for the drive.

A bullet is shot horizontally from shoulder height (1.5 m) with an initial speed 200 m/s. (a) How much time elapses before the b

daser333 [38]

Answer:

<h2>a) Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.</h2><h2>b) The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m</h2>

Explanation:

a) Consider the vertical motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 1.5 m

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

1.5 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 xt²

t = 0.553 s

Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.

b) Consider the horizontal motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 200 m/s

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Time, t = 0.553 s

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 200 x 0.553 + 0.5 x 0 x 0.553²

s = 110.6 m

The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m

A box accidentally drops from a truck traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s and slides along the ground for a distance of 30.0 m Calc

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

The initial speed of the box ,u= 20 m/s

The final speed of the box ,v= 0 m/s

The distance cover by box ,s= 30 m

Lets take the acceleration of the box = a

We know that

v²= u ² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

0²=20² + 2 a x 30

$a=- \dfrac{20^2}{2\times 30} \ m/s^2$

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Negative sign indicates that velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.

Therefore the acceleration of the box will be - 6.667 m/s² .

Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).

telo118 [61]

2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy
