Complete Question

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

From this motion what is the distance covered

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

$D = 72 \ m$

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

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :) Why does the pattern of colors repeat in a thin soap film?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

When white light shines on the bubble, it acts as a prism. While some of the white light bounces back off, some of them pass through the prism forming fringes of colors. But then, they too bounce off the inner part of the film. So one set of light rays shine into a soap bubble, but two sets of rays come back out again. When they emerge, the waves that bounce off the inner film have traveled a tiny bit further than the waves that bounced off the outer film. So, we have two sets of light waves. After that, the waves starts merging (Just like the ripples in the pond) . Some add together while some cancel out. That is why we see the pattern of colors repeating in the thin film soap.

On land, coal is transported primarily by train. A typical large coal train may be about 1.5 km long and may consist of 120 cars

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

equivalent power = 6.60 × $10^{12}$ W

Explanation:

given data

coal train length = 1.5 km = 1500 m

contain = 120 cars

holding= 110 tonnes of coal each

train traveling speed = 100 km/h = 27.78 m/s

to find out

equivalent power in watts

solution

we take here energy produce by coal is 27 × $10^{6}$ J/kg

and here total coal = 120 × 110 × 10³ kg

sop here energy produce by total coal is

energy produce by total coal = 27 × $10^{6}$ × 120 × 110 × 10³

and time required to cross that distance is

time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$

time = $\frac{1500}{27.78}$

time = 53.99 sec

so here equivalent power will be

equivalent power = $\frac{energy}{time}$

equivalent power = $\frac{27*10^6*120*110*10^3}{53.99}$

equivalent power = 6.60 × $10^{12}$ W

HURRY!!!!

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Ted is correct

Explanation:

The equation for gravitational potential energy is PE = m·g·h

The equation for gravitational kinetic energy is KE = 1/2·m·v²

Where:

m = Mass of the object (The racing car)

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = The height to which the object is raised

v = Velocity of motion of the object

From the principle of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but changes from one form to another, we have;

Potential energy gained from location at height h = Kinetic energy gained as the object moves down the level ground

m·g·h = 1/2·m·v² canceling like terms gives

g·h = 1/2·v²

v = (√2·g·h)

If the speed is doubled, we have

2·v = 2× (√2·g·h) = (√2·g·4·h)

Therefore, if 2·v = v₂ then v₂ = (√2·g·4·h)

Since g, the acceleration due to gravity, is constant, it means that the initial height must be multiplied or increased 4 times to get the new height, that is we have;

v₂ = (√2·g·4·h) = (√2·g·h₂)

Where:

4·h = h₂

Which gives;

v₂² = 2·g·h₂

1/2·v₂² = g·h₂

1/2·m·v₂² = m·g·h₂ Just like in the first relation

Therefore, Ted is correct s they need to go up four times the initial height to double the speed.
