<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.

What is the average power supplied by a 60.0 kg secretary running up a flight of stairs rising vertically 4.0 m in 4.2 s?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.8kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 60kg

Hieght= 4m

Time= 4.2seconds

We know that the energy possessed is given as

PE=mgh

PE=60*9.81*4

PE= 2354.4 Joulse

Also, the expression for power is

Power=Energy*Time

Power= 2354.4*4.2

Power=9888.48 watt

Power= 9.8kW

What allows the bimetallic coil to turn on or off a heating or cooling system? The two metals contract the same amount. The ther
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The two metals expand differently.

Explanation:

The bimetallic strip has two metal strips positioned like a bridge, these strips connect the electrical circuit to the heating system. When these strips are linear or "down" they allow the electricity to move through the circuit to the heating system to turn the heat on. When the strips are "up" the disconnect the electricity flow, thus turning the heating system off, thus the room becomes cool/cold.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

706.68 N

Explanation:

By Hooke's law,

F = ke

k=\dfrac{F}{e}

Using the values in the question,

k=\dfrac{265\text{ N}}{0.15 \text{ m}}=1766.7\text{ N/m}

When e = 0.4 m,

F = 1766.7\text{ N/m}\times0.4\text{ m}=706.68\text{ N}
