<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign. Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

When you go out into the sun, the UV light can give you a tan. UV light has a frequency of 7.89 x 1014 Hz. What is the wavelengt

Olin [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula and givens

λ = c / f
λ is the wavelength
c = the speed of light
f = the frequency
c = 3*10^8
f = 7.89 * 10^14

λ = ?

Solution

λ = 3*10^8 / 7.89*10^14

λ = 3*10^8/7.89*10^14

λ = 2.36 * 10^7

λ = 236 nanometers. What you use as your solution depends on what what you have been taught.

Suppose we wish to use a 6.0 m iron bar to lift a heavy object by using it as a lever. If we place the pivot point at a distance

Ber [7]

Answer:

The maximum load that this person is able to lift is 34.3 N

Explanation:

Applying the balancing torque, the expression is equal:

F₁L₁ = F₂L₂

$mgL_{1} =F_{2} L_{2}$

Where

g = 9.8 m/s² = gravity

L₁ = 0.8 m

F₂ = 527 N

L₂ = 6 - 0.8 = 5.2 m

Replacing and clearing the mass m:

$m=\frac{F_{2}L_{2} }{gL_{1} } =\frac{527*5.2}{9.8*0.8} =3.5kg$

The maximum load that this person is able to lift is:

F = m * g = 3.5 * 9.8 = 34.3 N

What is the mass of the other block?

xeze [42]

Let us consider the tension produced on both the sides of the rope is T.

We have been given that the rope is mass less and the rope is passing through a pulley which is stationary.

$Let\ m_{1} and\ m_{2}\ are\ the\ masses\ of\ two\ blocks$

$Let\ m_{1}\ is\ moving\ in\ vertical\ upward\ direction\ while\ m_{2}\ is\ in\ downward\ \ direction$

$Hence\ m_{2} =4.5\ kg$

The body is moving downward with an acceleration of $\frac{3}{4} g$

As the rope is the same one which is passing over a mass less pulley and connected by two masses,hence, acceleration of each block will be the same in magnitude.

$For\ body\ m_{1}$

Here the tension is acting in vertical upward direction and the weight is acting in vertical downward direction. Here,the body is moving in vertical upward direction. Hence, the net force acting on it is-

$T-m_{1} g=m_{1}a$ [1]

$For\ body\ m_{2}$

Here the tension is acting in vertical upward direction while weight is in vertical downward direction. The body is moving in downward direction. Hence the net force acting on it will be-

$m_{2} g-T=m_{2} a$ [2]
