If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
1 answer:
<u>Answer:</u>
Option A is the correct answer.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.
First walking 1.2 km north, displacement = 1.2 j km
Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km
Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km
Magnitude =
Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = = 36.87⁰ east of north.

Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of crate m=63kg
Distance travelled d=40m
Horizontal force Fx=130N
Angle the force applied on cord makes with horizontal is θ=23°.
The weight of the crate is given by
W=mg
W=63×9.81
W=618.03N
Horizontal force Fx=130N
Resolving the applied Force F to the horizontal will give
Fx=FCos θ
F=Fx/Cos θ
F=130/Cos23
F=141.2N
a. Check attachment for model diagram
b. Check attachment for free body diagram
c. Check attachment for pictorial representation
d. Work done by gravitational force.
We, know that the body did not move upward, then the distance d=0
Work done is given as
W=F×d
So, d=0
W=F×0
W=0J
So, no work is done by gravity
e. Normal force?
Using newton law of motion
ΣFy = may
Since the body is not moving upward, then ay=0m/s²
N+141.2Sin23-618.03=0
N=618.03-141.2Sin23
N=562.86N
f. Work done by normal force.
The body is not moving upward, then the distance is zero
d=0
Work done by normal=normal force × distance
Wn=562.86×0
Wn=0J
No work is done by the normal force
g. Frictional force?
Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is zero, then the surface is frictionless
So, no frictional force is acting on the body
Fictional force is given as
Fr=μk•N
Given that, μk=0
Fr=0×562.86
Fr=0N
d. Work done by frictional force?
Since the frictional force Is zero, then, no work is done by friction
W(friction ) = frictional force × d
Here, the body moved a distance of 40m
W(fr)=0×40
W(fr)=0J
No work is done by friction
I. Work done by exerted force
The horizontal component of the exerted force is 130N and the body traveled a distance of 40m
Then, work done is given as
Workdone=force ×distance
Work done=130×40
W=5200J
W=5.2KJ
h. Net workdone?
Since no work is lost by friction, then, the net work done is equal to the work done by the exerted force.
Went, = work done by force exerted - work done by friction
Wnet=5200-0
Wnet, =5200
Wnet=5.2KJ
