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

The Ohio Constitution lays out a three-part government with legislative, executive, and judicial branches just like the US Constitution. But the Ohio Constitution incorporates more elements of direct democracy and has a stronger legislative branch relative to the executive. Hopes this helps!

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.

Katen [24]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.

So we can write:

$W=K_f - K_i$

where in this problem:

W = -36.733 J is the work performed on the car (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion of the car)

$K_i = 66,120 J$ is the initial kinetic energy of the car

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy

Solving for Kf,

$K_f = W+K_i = -36,733+66,120=29,387 J$

The kinetic energy of the car can be also written as

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where:

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving, we find

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s$

A 34-kg child runs with a speed of 2.8 m/s tangential to the rim of a stationary merrygo-round. The merry-go-round has a momentu

tekilochka [14]

Answer: $0.43\ rad/s$

Explanation:

Given

Mass of child $m=34\ kg$

speed of child is $v=2.8\ m/s$

Moment of inertia of merry go round is $I=510\ kg.m^2$

radius $r=2.31\ m$

Conserving the angular momentum

$\Rightarrow mvr=I\omega \\\Rightarrow 34\times 2.8\times 2.31=510\times \omega\\\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{219.912}{510}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.43\ rad/s$

A machine is supplied Energy at a rate of 4000 W and does useful work at a rate of 3760 W. What is the efficiency of the machine

ICE Princess25 [194]

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio between the output power and the power in input:
$\epsilon = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}$
in our problem, the output power is 3760 W while the input power is 4000 W, so the efficiency is
$\epsilon = \frac{3760 W}{4000 W} =0.94$
So the efficiency of the machine is 94%.
