Complete Question

A football coach walks 18 meters westward, then 12 meters eastward, then 28 meters westward, and finally 14 meters eastward.

a

From this motion what is the distance covered

b

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

a

  D =   72 \  m

b

Magnitude

             d =  - 20 \ m

 Direction  

West

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance covered westward is d_w_1  =  18 \  m /tex]     The  first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 =  12 \  m /tex]      The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2  =  28 \  m /tex]      The  second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 =  14 \  m /tex]   Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as       [tex]D =  d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=> D =   18 + 28 + 12 +  14

=> D =   72 \  m

For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative

The magnitude of the displacement is

d =  -d_w1 -d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=>  d =  -18-28 + 12 + 14

=> d =  - 20 \ m

The direction is west

Two hoops, starting from rest, roll down identical inclined planes. The work done by nonconservative forces, such as air resiste
Maurinko [17]

Answer: both hoops have the same kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline.

Explanation:

If we assume no work done by non conservative forces (like friction) , the total mechanical energy must be conserved.

K1 + U1 = K2 + U2

If both hoops start from rest, and we choose the bottom of the incline to be the the zero reference level for gravitational potential energy, then

K1 = 0 and U2 = 0

⇒ ΔK = ΔU = m g. h

If both inclines have the same height, and both hoops have the same mass m, the  change in kinetic energy, must be the same for both hoops.

Regardless of their frequency, wavelength, or energy, all electromagnetic waves: A. travel only through the vacuum of space. B.
agasfer [191]
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum: 3.0 x 10^5 (300,000) kilometres per second. some electromagnetic waves are part of the visible light spectrum and some do emit harmful radiation, but certainly not all. they travel fine on earth without the vacuum of space too.

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm
Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N
