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

expeople1 [14]

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts moving the ball moves toward the back of the train. This happened due to inertia

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion unless a net external force acts on it .

When a train starts moving forward, the ball placed on the floor tends to fall backward is an example of inertia of rest. Due to the reason that the lower part of the ball is in contact with the surface and rest of the part is not . As the train starts moving, its lower part gets the motion as the floor starts moving but the upper part will remain as it is as it is not in contact with the floor , hence do not attain any motion due to the inertia of rest simultaneously i.e. it tends to remain at the same place.

The alarm at a fire station rings and a 87.5-kg fireman, starting from rest, slides down a pole to the floor below (a distance o

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$F_f=840N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight of fireman $W_f= 87.5kg$

Pole distance $D=4.10m$

Final speed is $V_f 1.75m/s$

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2 a d$

Therefore Acceleration a

$a'= v^2 / 2 d$

$a'= 0.21m/s^2$

Generally the equation for Frictional force $F_f$ is mathematically given as

$F_f=m*a$

$F_f=m*(g-0.21)$

$F_f=87.5*(9.81-0.21)$

Therefore

$F_f=840N$

A charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall. which process is involved?

Leokris [45]

<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).

As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.
