a bus travels 4 km due north and 3 km due west going from bus station a to bus station b. the magnitude of the bus displacement

from station a to station b is what km

ladessa [460]2 years ago

Answer:

5km

Explanation:

Magnitude of displacement is found by getting the resultant. Resultant is same as the bypotenuse hence

R=\sqrt {{x^{2}+y^{2}} where x is the displacement in west direction and y is displacement in North direction. Substituting x with 3km and y with 4 km then

R=\sqrt {{3^{2}+4^{2}}=5km

If you exert 250J of work onto a lever that is 5m long, what amount of force are you applying?
maks197457 [2]
From the formula of W = F·d , becuase we have the values for W and d we can find F

W = F·d 
F= W/d
  = 250/5
  = 50 N

40 N of force was applied

A large fake cookie sliding on a horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring with spring constant k = 440 N
irinina [24]

Answer:

a) 0.275 m b) 13.6 J

Explanation:

In absence of friction, the energy is exchanged between the spring (potential energy) and the cookie (kinetic energy), so at any point, the sum of both energies must be the same:

E = ½ kx2 + ½ mv2

If we take as initial state, the instant when the cookie is passing through the spring’s equilibrium position, all the energy is kinetic, and we know that is equal to 20.0 J.

After sliding to the right, while is being acted on by a friction force, it came momentarily at rest. At this point, the initial kinetic energy, has become potential elastic energy, in part, and in thermal energy also, represented by the work done by the friction force.

So, for this state, we can say the following:

Ki = Uf + Eth = ½* k*d2 + Ff*d

20.0J = ½ *440 N/m* d2 + 11.0 *d, where d is the compressed length of the spring, which is equal to the distance travelled by the cookie before coming momentarily at rest.

We have a quadratic equation, that, after simplifying terms, can be solved as follows, applying the quadratic formula:

d = -0.05/2 +/- √0.090625 = -0.025 +/- 0.3 = 0.275 m (we take the positive root)

b) If we take as our new initial status the moment at which the spring is compressed, and the cookie is at rest, all the energy is potential:

E = Ui = 1/2 k d²

In this case, d is the same value that we got in a), i.e., 0.275 m (as the distance travelled by the cookie after going through the equilibrium point is the same length that the spring have been compressed).

E= 1/2 440 N/m . (0.275)m² = 16.6 J

When the cookie passes again through the equilibrium position, the energy will be in part kinetic, and in part, it will have become thermal energy again.

So, we can write the following equation:

Kf = Ui - Ff.d = 16.6 J - 11.0 (0.275) m = 16.6 J - 3.03 J = 13.6 J

Air pressure is created by the weight of the atmosphere pushing on Earth’s surface.

Denser air is heavier than less dense air.

Air is less dense at higher altitudes.
