if an object is falling on earth at a terminal velocity of 140 km/hr, does that mean that the acceleration is ZERO?

If he's falling in a straight line and his speed is not changing, that tells you that his acceleration is zero.

And THAT tells you that the forces on him are balanced, the net force acting on him is zero, and his motion is the same as it would be if there were NO force acting on him.

Kai swims for the school swim team. He specializes in a backstroke event where he has to swim the 50 m length of the pool three

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Displacement is 50 m

Explanation:

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled.

Thus, since he swims the 50m length pool 3 times, then the total distance = 50 × 3 = 150 m

Whereas, displacement is the measurement of length of the shortest path from initial point to final point.

In this case initial point to final point is 50m. Thus, the displacement is 50 m

A 2.3 kg particle-like object moves in a plane with velocity components vx = 40 m/s and vy = 75 m/s as it passes through the poi

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(a) $\overrightarrow{L}=885.5\widehat{k}$

(b) $\overrightarrow{L}=1046.5\widehat{k}$

Explanation:

mass, m = 2.3 kg

vx = 40 m/s

vy = 75 m/s

(a) Angular momentum is given by

$\overrightarrow{L}=\overrightarrow{r}\times \overrightarrow{p}$

Where, p is the linear momentum and r is the position vector about which the angular momentum is calculated.

Here, $\overrightarrow{r}=3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v}$

$\overrightarrow{p}=2.3\left ( 40\widehat{i}+75\widehat{j} \right )$

$\overrightarrow{p}= 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j}$

So, the angular momentum

$\overrightarrow{L}=\left ( 3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j} \right )\times\left ( 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j} \right )$

$\overrightarrow{L}=885.5\widehat{k}$

(b) Here, $\overrightarrow{r}=(3+2)\widehat{i}+(-4+2)\widehat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{r}=5\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{L}=\left ( 5\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j} \right )\times\left ( 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j} \right )$

$\overrightarrow{L}=1046.5\widehat{k}$
