Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.
Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0
Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>
Answer:
0.37sec
Explanation:
Period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L is:
T
=
2
π
×
√
(L
/g)
L=length of string 0.54m
g=acceleration due to gravity
T-period
T = 2 x 3.14 x √[0.54/9.8]
T = 1.47sec
An oscillating pendulum, or anything else in nature that involves "simple harmonic" (sinusoidal) motion, spends 1/4 of its period going from zero speed to maximum speed, and another 1/4 going from maximum speed to zero speed again, etc. After four quarter-periods it is back where it started.
The ball will first have V(max) at T/4,
=>V(max) = 1.47/4 = 0.37 sec
Answer:
1800J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of the book = 20N
Total distance covered = 45m + 15m + 30m = 90m
Unknown:
Total work performed on the books = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem we must understand that work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.
So;
Work done = Force x distance
Work done = 20 x 90 = 1800J
Answer:
1) Lightning, you see the lightning first and then hear the thunder.
2)When a person far away from you hits a ball with a bat, you can see them striking the ball first and then you will hear the sound of ball striking against the bat.
