Answer:
- Distance is a scalar quantity, defined as the total amount of space covered by an object while moving between the final position and the initial position. Therefore, it depends on the path the object has taken: the distance will be minimum if the object has travelled in a straight line, while it will be larger if the object has taken a non-straight path.
- Displacement is a vector quantity, whose magnitude is equal to the distance (measured in a straight line) between the final position and the initial position of the object. Therefore, the displacement does NOT depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final point of the motion.
If the object has travelled in a straight path, then the displacement is equal to the distance. In all other cases, the distance is always larger than the displacement.
A particular case is when an object travel in a circular motion. Assuming the object completes one full circle, we have:
- The distance is the circumference of the circle
- The displacement is zero, because the final point corresponds to the initial point
When your'e in space you feel weightless blc there's no grsvity in space.
Answer:
Fnet = 0
Explanation:
- Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
- According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
- This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:
- In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:
⇒ 169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N (3)
- This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
- Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47 N (4)
The gravitational potential energy of an object depends on three things. Its mass, its height above the surface of the earth and the pull of gravity (which is assumed to always be 9.8 m/s².
The Formula for finding the GPE is : m x g x h where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration and h is height from earth's surface.
Using this formula we can find that :
GPE= 75 x 9.8 x 300 = 220500J (where J is the SI unit for GPE and stands for Joules.
Answer:
the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.
h f> = Ф
Explanation:
In this experiment on the photoelectric effect, it is explained by the Einstein relation that considers the light beam formed by discrete energy packages.
K_max = h f - Ф
in the exercise phase, they indicate that different wavelengths can inject electrons, so the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.
h f > = Ф
