Using the GPE=MGH, M=0.5 kg, G=9.8m/s H= 2 m multiply those all together and we will have 9.8 J (joules)

a sailboat sails 50 km to the north then 80 km in the direction 38 degrees west of south. what is the net displacement of the bo
True [87]

Answer:

35.489km

Explanation:

a diagram illustrating the question is attached

now, applying cosine rule to find the displacement c

cosine rule;

c²=a²+b²-2abCos ∅

c²=50²+80²-2(50)(80)Cos 38°

c²=2500 + 6400 - (8000×0.9951)

c²=8900-7640.589

c²=1259.411

c=\sqrt{1259.411}

c=35.49km

Q7) A box sliding with a velocity of 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s^2. How
grigory [225]

Answer:

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

Explanation:

Let suppose that velocity given in statement represents the initial velocity of the box and, likewise, the box accelerates at constant rate. Then, the displacement of the object (\Delta s), in meters, can be determined by the following expression:

\Delta s = v_{o}\cdot t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2} (1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, in meters per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

a - Acceleration, in meters per square second.

If we know that v_{o} = 5\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 6\,s and a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the box displacement after 6 seconds is:

\Delta s = 66\,m

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.
