A car moving 12m east, then 20m west . What is the displacement?

Physics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

8 m west

Explanation:

If we say east is the +x direction, and west is the -x direction, then the displacement is:

Δx = 12 m + (-20 m)

Δx = -8 m

What are the units of acceleration?
Marina86 [1]

Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion.

The dimension of speed is [length/time],
so a change is [length/time²].

Popular units include [meter/second²] and [feet/second²] .
________________________

Direction almost always boils down to an angle, (which technically
has no dimensions), so a change in direction is  [angle/time] .

Popular units include [radian/second] and [degree/second] .

On a bet, you try to remove water from a glass by blowing across the top of a vertical straw immersed in the water. What is the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

       v₂ = 0.56 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be done using Bernoulli's equation

        P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Where points 1 and 2 are on the surface of the glass and the top of the straw

The pressure at the two points is the same because they are open to the atmosphere, if we assume that the surface of the vessel is much sea that the area of ​​the straw the velocity of the surface of the vessel is almost zero v₁ = 0

The difference in height between the level of the glass and the straw is constant and equal to 1.6 cm = 1.6 10⁻² m

We substitute in the equation

         P_{atm} + ρ g y₁ = P_{atm} + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

         ½ v₂² = g (y₂-y₁)

        v₂ = √ 2 g (y₂-y₁)

Let's calculate

        v₂ = √ (2 9.8 1.6 10⁻²)

       v₂ = 0.56 m / s

A spring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. The spring has a constant k = 30 kN/m and is held b
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

0.3 m

Explanation:

Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.  The spring has elastic energy.  After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.

Initial energy = final energy

mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²

Given:

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 8 sin 20º m

v = 2 m/s

k = 30000 N/m

x₁ = 0.05 m

(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²

x₂ ≈ 0.314 m

So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length.  However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.

x₂ − x₁

0.314 m − 0.05 m

0.264 m

Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.

Find the voltage
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

solve the parallel resistances

30||40     and 50||30

17.14285714   and 18.75

total Resistance = 35.89285714

V = IR

9V = I *35.89285714

9V / 35.89285714 = I

0.250746 = I

Now use the resistance across AB

V = 17.14285714 * 0.250746

V = 4.29850

this is the Voltage drop across AB  :P
