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

1. The mass defect of iron-56 is 0.52875 amu. What is the energy equivalent of this mass?

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Hello! Your answer is BELOW

Explanation:

1.About 91.754% of all iron is iron-56. Of all nuclides, iron-56 has the lowest mass per nucleon. With 8.8 MeV binding energy per nucleon, iron-56 is one of the most tightly bound nuclei.

2.The atomic weight of lead is quite variable in nature because the three heaviest isotopes are the stable end-products of the radioactive decay of uranium (238U to 206Pb and 235U to 207Pb) and thorium (232Th to 208Pb).

3.Mass defect for uranium-238 is 3.983 × 10-25 kg.

4.Energy and Mass Are Relative

The equation E = mc^2 states that the amount of energy possessed by an object is equal to its mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.

Hope I helped! Ask me anything if you have any questions. Brainiest plz!♥ Hope you make a 100%. Have a nice morning! -Amelia♥

A 300 kg car initially travels with a velocity of 20 m/s to the right. A net force F acts on the car for 5 s, which causes the v

hram777 [196]

Answer:

600N.

Explanation:

From the question, we are to calculate the net force acting on the car.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

m is the mass of the car

a is the acceleration = change in velocity/Time

a = v-u/t

F = m(v-u)/t

v is the final velocity = 30m/s

u is the initial velocity = 20m/s

t is the time = 5secs

m = 300kg

Get the net force:

Recall that: F = m(v-u)/t

F = 300(30-20)/5

F = 60(30-20)

F = 60(10)

F = 600N

Hence the net force acting on the car is 600N.

The 0.15kg baseball has a speed of v=30 m/s just before it is struck by the bat. It then travels along the trajectory shown befo

notka56 [123]

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

The mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

The speed at which it moves, v = 30 m/s

Time at which the baseball was in contact with the bat, t = 0.75 ms

t = 0.75/1000 s

t = 0.00075 s

The impulsive force is given by the formula:

$F=\frac{mv}{t}$

Substitute m = 0.15 kg, v = 30, and t = 0.00075s into the formula above:

$F=\frac{0.15 \times 30}{0.00075} \\\\F=6000N$

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N
